Link show statistics? Considering the population of the US is about 320 million, I think it is highly likely that 93% of the population is angry with Obamacare.
Trump won in part because key historically blue states voted Republican because they lost and did not recover jobs. (Can't blame them really..) It wasn't about just ACA like you make it sound... but it sure does sound good....
Lots of drama.
Well, the polls at the time the ACA was being pushed through said that around 70ish percent did not want the ACA to go through. So far, everyone who pays for their health insurance and does not get subsidies is pretty angry at the system and wants it removed. I wasn't trying to be exact, if you want me to retract the 300 millions and use "most", fine... but you would be pretty hard pressed to claim people like the ACA who are not getting the hand outs from it.
As for why people voted Trump, part was because they didn't want a criminal like Hillary in office. Part was the Illegal immigration, part was supreme court judges, part was government overreach, part was the governments manipulation and bail out of the markets, government lies and manipulation of job numbers, etc... the list goes on.
I'm not an obama fan either. I don't believe in universal healthcare. Poor people are supposed to die. Sick people are supposed to die. That's how things work.

I think if you have cancer/diabetes/etc , no insurance should be forced to cover you. Maybe stop eating junk food.

sure, and we should stop giving er visits to poor people. That will definitely fix the problem.

I'm still waiting on my $2500 a year...what about you?
I work for a big company. My medical/dental/vision insurance is only like $130/month, actually a bit less because that include my *free* gym membership. If $130/month is a struggle for you, maybe you aren't fit for a country like this.
Why not look at his website to figure out what he wants to do with healthcare?
Quote:
Completely repeal Obamacare. Our elected representatives must eliminate the individual mandate. No person should be required to buy insurance unless he or she wants to.
Modify existing law that inhibits the sale of health insurance across state lines. As long as the plan purchased complies with state requirements, any vendor ought to be able to offer insurance in any state.
Allow individuals to fully deduct health insurance premium payments from their tax returns under the current tax system. Businesses are allowed to take these deductions so why wouldn’t Congress allow individuals the same exemptions?
Allow individuals to use Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). Contributions into HSAs should be tax-free and should be allowed to accumulate.
Require price transparency from all healthcare providers, especially doctors and healthcare organizations like clinics and hospitals.
Block-grant Medicaid to the states.
Remove barriers to entry into free markets for drug providers that offer safe, reliable and cheaper products. .
Sounds much more reasonable than the Obamacare fiasco.
Sounds like a good start........which is where Obama screwed up. Instead of a progressive change he didn't care what passed as long as something passed. Well, as long as his donors and the lobbyists were happy.
Can you imagine the mid-term election repercussions?
Go ahead. Make their day, punk.
You had no problem losing the elections for the House and Senate due to all executive pens stripes!
Trump was chosen partially due to Obama pissing off the people who had insurance and the ones who have to pay the IRS penalty and still don't have insurance.
ObamaCare was the end result of numerous compromises.
that's the way things work.
Trumps HC wish list has unattainables:
1.Completely repeal Obamacare. this just lets Insurance Provider decline coverage for an ever-increasing number of conditions that end up costing them money.
2.Modify existing law that inhibits the sale of health insurance across state lines. Good luck getting that one past Republican Govenors that want to keep their existing monopolies alive in their states! As though this is a new idea??
6.Block-grant Medicaid to the states. Bad idea that's been done before. Lots of precedents of existing block grants that the State Legislatures then use to plug other budgetary holes and not on what it was supposed to be for.
A family of four, makes about $100,000 a year, parents both small business owners. They send about $30,000 a year back to federal and state taxes each year, yielding them about $70,000 in net income, then deduct property and sales taxes, etc, etc, etc. So net, they put in their pockets about $58,000 annually. Wow.
Now, along comes Obama care, and their latest monthly premium with a $8,000 deductible PER PERSON???? $1610.00 per month. Another almost $20,000 wiped from their income they actually take home.
You tell me how the F, that scenario is even remotely fair?
The law says they MUST buy it. No choice. The insurance companies are losing so much money, they raise the rates and deductibles, yielding their $1610 a month policy virtually useless.
It does not work!!!!
