I hope I'm not jumping the gun, but if Trumpy is the Pres Elect, say goodbye to Obamacare.

Now maybe we can get some real medical care.

Obamacare is gone for sure. Look, it was too expensive. It needed reform. But instead of reform, millions of Americans will now lose coverage. What a shame.

Yeah, one of my friends is discussing that the loss of Obamacare will pretty much mean her death since she can't afford the cost of care to save her from her cancer.

Uh, WITH Obamacare, I have spent over $25k in premiums in the last 2 years, another $20k getting past deductibles, and another $10k out of pocket paying for care they refused to pay for (mostly bc everyone and everything was out of network).

And now my premium is DOUBLING. Doubling.

EVERYONE better be rich to make this stupid program work.

Obamacare will become the definition of bad government policy. It can easily be replaced with insurance and competitive pricing. Get ready all you freeloaders. The times are a changin!

I'm sorry to hear that, despite everything being spewed here tonight, the election has not been called yet, so there is some hope

Really? My insurance has been pretty affordable, was only paying $96/month out of my end with employer covering the rest

Yes, looks like Obamacare repeal is on the books. Looking forward to seeing how the alternative is better. Back to tens of millions of Americans uninsured again and getting denied for coverage because of pre-existing conditions?
