Now, you really sound like a trumpisst. Burn everything down because you don't think it will affect you, but you'll be happy because it affects other people. It is just that kind of thinking that got us trump to begin with - just read the comments on this forum to see that.

That's right. For seven years the Republicans in Congress have been the dog chasing the car, not thinking about what would they do if they caught it. Now, the have the ability to repeal Obamacare but if they do, they will throw 30 million people off of health insurance. Many of those people are in areas that heavily voted for Trump.

Kentucky has added 500,000 citizens to their health exchange. Many of those are workers who couldn't get insurance -- either because of high cost or pre-existing conditions. Now, they have insurance.

So, if Republicans do as they promised, they'd have millions of angry Americans with pitch forks and torches at their doorsteps.

I don't want to use Americans who made a bad election choice as pawns to punish Republican politicians.

Trump promised in the campaign that GOP health care would cover everyone; be lower cost, etc. etc. and all kids get a pony. Now, he supports the GOP plan that tosses 24 mil. off of insurance. Yeah, he lied. He made a 50 year career as a liar. I don't want to hurt American families because they were conned by an expert con-man.

This is the reason:
The only Obamacare replacement that will work is Obamacare

Check the data again. The people who benefited most from the ACA were the ones that voted for Trump. Coal country. Red states.

Again, keep your promise, Trump. Get rid of Obamacare ASAP.

And punish, along with those who voted for Trump, those benefiting from it who did not?
