The replacement is pay or die. Heck if Republicans could get their way, they would rescind the 1986 law that stopped ER's from turning away patients who were thought to be unable to pay their bill

No, it's been six years that the GOP has been attempting to kill the ACA. So now it's been six years and three weeks.

Remember how repealing the ACA was, according to both the Republicans and Donald Trump, going to be a job they did on day one? What happened to that?

Republican voters discovered, much to their dismay, that Obamacare and ACA are one in the same.

The discovery that Obamacare and ACA are one in the same and that Mexico will not be paying for the wall but rather Americans will be has caused some amount of disappointment among the Trump faithful.

But never fear, they are 100% behind closing their public schools.

Both are going to happen. It doesn't help that the Left likes to file frivolous lawsuits (that's their intended tactic) to cause delays and derailments in the agenda. The travel ban lawsuit is a case in point. Surely this judge (Robart) knew that the ban was both lawful and Constitutional. It was intended merely as means to throw up a roadblock and perhaps cause a distraction.

As for the ACA, the Democrats made sure that it would be very difficult to overturn/repeal it outright. It will happen.

ACA has been imploding for the last 4 years and will be dead in 2.

Where is the Democrat plan to repair it and keep it alive?

It didn't get elected. The Republican "plan" did, and we're waiting for it.

Meaning there should have been a viable replacement just waiting in the wings, where is it?


The Democrats are no longer in power, you won, so where is the replacement?

Well, someone is busy running commercials in my state advising the populace to vote YES on the super, duper plan of the Republicans that will lower costs, involve 'patient centered healthcare' and just an all around good . . . plan. You know, when they get one.

It's not a BAN!


Sad!
