The Tea Party has always wanted to take the ACA into the bathroom and hold its head underwater and drown it. Now the ACA has a face on it. Its somebodies brother, sister, parent, neighbor etc. The Tea Party doesnt have replacement plan only repeal. I think they are going to find it harder to take the ACA into the bathroom and drown it. According to Gallup 54% of ACA signups are Democrat, 24% Republican, and 22% Independent.
Most people's insurance rates would go down substantially.
Right, because insurance rates weren't going up and up and up for years before Obama was even a household name. Get out of your delusional fantasy world.

Mine would go up about 3-6% a year. After Ocare went into affect it went up 40% in 18 months.

The reality is I do suspect ACA will be gone someday, but only when the US has single payer. I'd prefer ACA, and recognizing it will never be 2009 again, I know those faces you talk about have changed what is feasable.
I don't think the ACA cured some of the most pressing problem's with America's healthcare, and in many respects made things worse.
For example, just because we expanded Medicaid to insure more people, that doesn't mean we have more doctors to treat people on medicaid. All we did was put more people on the list, increased the waiting times for everyone that was already on there. We didn't actually increase the amount of health care delivered though, we just redistributed it.
Like for real, the ACA was found to be unconstitutional, or we elected 70 percent Republicans to Congress in 2014 and they passed legislation to overturn it. Everything mandated in the ACA was now left to choice, so for example, an insurance company could choose to allow young people to stay on their parents' insurance until they turn 26, but would not be required to do so.
What do you think insurance companies would do? Do you think it would be an overall positive or an overall negative?
Some of the ideas that were not executed well under Obama care. Like past illeness and a new form of pooling Americans together.
We could expect Tort Reform which indeed would decrease the cost of Medical Care and Encourage Doctors to practice medicine.
Open state lines for healthcare Competition.
Determine what is the real cost of a average health car plan?
Obama Care never considered cost and will be forever a failure. If you can not figure cost you will not be in business long!

Tort Reform, an idea I support, is a zero sum game for the total economy.
These lawsuits ADD non medical jobs, are big profit centers for insurance corps, which means adding 6 figure actuary jobs, and obviously the money in these damage awards does get spent, generating jobs there as well. The loser-the plantiff, has less to spend, as do docs paying heavy malpractice which raises the cost of their services. But this is a ZERO SUM game in total. Any activity which fails to deplete natural resources or add value to them is ultimately a ZERO SUM game.
