No need to play dumb. You know exactly what happened:

A number of states refused to participate.

Republicans continued to fight it. Fought it in the courts. Fought in the media. Still badmouthing it.

Personally, I think we should go back to the rules we had before.

Insurance companies can go back to refusing to insure anyone with a pre-existing condition.

Insurance companies could set caps on annual and lifetime limits.

Parents can no longer keep their children covered under their insurance until 26.

...

The only thing I would change is that Emergency Rooms are not required to treat those without paid up insurance. You make the choice to go without insurance, then tough tomatoes. You pay the price.

It's a dog eat dog world.

No reason for my taxes or my health insurance premiums being jacked up for those who can't manage their own affairs.

OBAMACARE - The gift that keeps on giving, and EVERY Democrat voted for it. NO Republicans voted for it. Obama, and the Democrats OWN the healthcare insurance crisis we have.

Dems never take responsibilities for their failures.

Yep, because after 3 years the states would have to pay for it. States don't have the ability to make money like the feds....

obama had a pen and a phone, he could have done an EO and took care of the pre-existing conditions.

Another EO could have taken care of that also.

If your child is on your insurance until 26, other than being in school, then there is something else wrong...

Your last sentence, is more true than you know, you probably just don't realize you messed up and told the truth.

Everyone having access to medical care protects us all.
OK so we should help pay for their Health Insurance premium... but who should pay for their $7,000 deductible which they will probably never be able to meet on their own.

Pumpkin Head Owns it.
He could have repealed it but instead sided with the Insurance and Pharma Lobbyists.

Trump owns it after all the sabotage he has done to it. Actually, he owns every issue as long as he is in WG. Trumpcare name is appropriate.
