Unlike Obamacare, the GOP plan will be one simple sentence: ''If you can't afford it, you can't have it''.

Exactly. If the right wing could, they would bring Osama bin Ladin back to life, just to discredit Obama.

Obamacare was no accomplishment. It was another government fiasco based on an insane promise that you could further subsidize demand, let people sign up for insurance after they got sick and still control costs.

Ya got a pre-existing condition but still able to work? Get a job with health insurance like most of us Americans do.

Can't work? Check out Medicare.

You can also purchase cancer and other types of insurance relatively cheaply.

I have got it for 300 a month despite both my wife and I being in our 50's with pre-existing conditions.

I'll refer to Nancy Pelosi on this...

"We have to pass the [health care] bill so that you can find out what's in it."

I'd like to see the complete plan before they repeal the current Affordable Care Act, wouldn't you?
It's hidden under his tax returns!

I'm single and I get mine through work. My sister and her husband are retired in Texas. She has not complained about costs there.

Exactly, there were options before Obamacare, and still are, for those with pre-existing conditions. That usually meant you or your spouse had to work.

^^^^ This is precisely the situation. Trump and the GOP are so Hellbent on getting rid of everything Obama, that they are simply going to repeal Obamacare and they have nothing figured out yet to replace it. I really feel sorry for the millions of people who depended on it and also those who have pre existing conditions. They are probably going to suffer the worst.

This is no different than everything else Trump did during his campaign.......he spouted all these great promises, but had no plans or programs to back them up. Anytime he was asked HOW he was going to do something, he basically said "I'll tell you when the time comes, trust me !"

Well, I don't trust him.

Same reason Democrats never allowed Republicans to read their plans before voting on it... remember Pelosi? The plan is finished and no details will be leaked...
