If you had to compromise and understanding many conservatives distaste for the ACA would you be willing to see a doubling of Medicare Part B to $210 per couple per month? If you are on Tricare would you be willing to spend another $320 a year. There are talks of a grand bargain but would you be willing to pay more to throw people to the curb who you consider leeches?

My mistake a couple on Medicare would pay only $420 per month to get rid of ACA. Wouldn't that be worth it if you are on Medicare? There is also the possibility Republicans would restore most of PPO. This is the 70 billion per year that Republicans claim was stolen from Medicaid. So would anyone be willing to spend more to kick the ACA to the curb and restore the PPO? Your grandkids will be thanking you sometime in the future.

why exactly would they need to pay to get rid of Obamacare again?

Obamacare could possibly add up to $6.3 trillion to the nation debt ever the year.. so why would we need to pay to get rid of something that will probably save us money?

They would pay as part of a grand bargain. The ACA would disappear and everyone else would pay more for their free health care. By the way $420 per couple on Medicare or $640 for a year on Tricare is almost nothing. Not sure where you got the 6.3 trillion per year. It might be 63 billion next year.

Not all Republicans have a distaste for the new health care law.

Meet Butch Matthews, A Republican Who Came To Love Obamacare After Realizing It Will Save Him $13,000 | ThinkProgress

Butch Matthews is a 61-year-old former small business owner from Little Rock, Arkansas who used to wake up every morning at 4 A.M. to deliver canned beverages to retailers before retiring in 2010. A lifelong Republican, he was heavily skeptical of the Affordable Care Act when it first passed. “I did not think that Obamacare was going to be a good plan, I did not think that it was going to help me at all,” he told ThinkProgress over the phone.

But after doing a little research, Matthews eventually realized how much the law could help him. And on Tuesday, his local Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) provider confirmed that he would be able to buy a far better plan than his current policy while saving at least $13,000 per year through Arkansas’ Obamacare marketplace.

Vote no and nobody pays anything. Democrats of course want their database to be populated which is what this is all about. Total control of everyone. Hippa?????? LOL.

There are a few willing to give the ultimate sacrifice to get federal government out of their lives.
Give me liberty or give me death and all that stuff.

Now the battle cry is give me healthcare "insurance" or give me food stamps. Or give me both and I will vote for you. Country has gone to hell.
