The Senate parliamentarian has dealt a new blow to congressional Republicans' Obamacare repeal campaign, ruling that the GOP can use a special procedure to advance repeal legislation with 50 votes only until the end of September.
"It was not just rhetoric. Trump tweeted a quote from the New York Times in April noting the problem. The Kaiser Family Foundation created an animation showing counties without providers over the course of the year; in the spring, as the debate raged, entire states lacked an insurer."
So right this minute, looks like maybe everyone has a choice of at least 1 provider. Will it still be true during open enrollment? Who knows. Maybe we should be praising Trump for getting insurers back on the exchange everywhere??

All of those repeal votes, including the House bill were "pretend" votes since the legislators in question had no intention of following through. I actually think we would be better off without any health insurance (link) except catastrophic coverage and maybe coverage for the elderly. The insurance-based system has created a massive overallocation of society's resources to health care. And single payer would be worse.

That's for sure.
I wonder why people assume that anything is really "free."
Committee Chairman Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and ranking member Sen.
