How many people were unable to have any kind of insurance before Obamacare?
How many people are unable to have insurance today?

But yes, go ahead. Go ahead and think this will hurt Trump. You're going to see Obamacare completely implode over the next 9 months, and it will be the Democrats owning it.
The Republicans had at least 8 years to come up with a health care plan and have it in place....so there is no excuse for the fiasco occurring right now.

Um, are you saying that Obamacare IS an utter failure in the process of imploding?

I tend to think let it as well. The American people need an actual education to the disaster that Democrats brought to them. Repubs should hold off trying to fix the mess Dems created until it is so obvious that even the most delusional lib can't ignore it.

I agree. Let them learn why insurers DENY coverage.

It makes me think the propaganda slogan, "Make America Great Again" is really "Let's make America fail." I think the supporters want everyone to be like them. Sickening indeed!

You swallow every talking point and regurgitate them on cue.

Before the ACA I had no insurance. So you're right, I didn't have a $4,000 deductible and a $2,000 out of pocket. Instead, I had 100% of the bill.

I can pay down a $6,000 bill a lot more easily than I can a $150,000 bill.

That's the difference.
