NEW RINGGOLD, Pa. (AP) -- Among the groups hardest hit by the Republican plan to replace the Affordable Care Act is one that swung for Donald Trump during last year's presidential race — older Americans who have not yet reached Medicare age.

The final plan will look nothing like the one now. Not even worth discussing.

It's worth discussing to make sure it doesn't happen.

I thought we just have similar threat. Why have duplicate thread for the same thing.

Under Obamacare, wife and I coverage is $1700/mo. with a substantial deductible....I doubt whatever the GOP comes up with will be worse.


In the big picture, Obamacare did not address the issue of overall cost, it shifted some of the cost from people making less onto people making more so it was a wealth transfer to some extent but ultimately a failure because it didn't address out of control costs. I'm not particularly optimistic with what the GOP will come up with but I have no doubts that it will be better for me than Obamacare so called.

Agreed. How can it be any worse than it has been over the past three years? 25% increases each year. But it is "affordable."

The ACA was good for some and less good for others. The answer is single payer like the rest of the industrialized world.

Bull****.

Free market > socialism.

But that's neither here nor there... OP is "predicting the future" so this is a null thread.
