There are so many who are one illness away from losing everything they own in this great country & it is just not right. We have come so far & if we start allowing citizens to die because they can't afford to go to the DRS. then IMO we are going backwards.
Again to address that we don't need a 2000-page law that creates bureaucracy upon bureaucracy instead of making the system more efficient and less costly. Hence, Repeal and Replace.

Even if able to repeal this law, I would guarantee it would NOT be replaced.

Is there something magic about the number 2000? It really isn't that difficult to read. There are a lot of spaces and everything. I don't remember any pictures though.

Don't you think it's kind of ridiculous that it takes that many pages to describe a law that has to be followed?
Do you know how many pages are in the US Constitution?

Have you ever read your health insurance policy word by reduced in point size word, aka fine print? It's 10,000 pages.
