Removing funding from healthy people is not an accomplishment and will end up with taxpayers covering more of the costs of the ACA. His promise was immediate repeal of the ACA and replacement, he has not fulfilled that promise, all he has done is drive up the federal budget. By the way they don't have a replacement for the ACA, maybe you missed that rather important nuance.
Goodnight: I am AWARE there is no replacement in place yet. What did we all do for the last 300 years without the ACA? You act as if it was the "be-all end-all" of insurance.... It was a mess. It will hopefully go into a quiet death spiral where it belongs and be buried... like Hillary Clinton, both known as dead bloated products of another Presidential era.

Just let states create their own health care solutions and give them the power to make laws so other state residents can't join that state's health care program for a period of at least ten years so no one can "state shop" for benefits if they get sick.
I don't care if Republicans hate health care in their states as long as they don't move to my blue state and try to take my tax dollars if they get sick.

ACA: It stunk. Bottom Line. Revamp it. Obliterate it and start over. There has to be a way without making people who can't afford it, in the first place, to be penalized almost $700 a person in the family.

My insurance through my employer only costs me $100/month

That's great. Mine used to be free when I was in the Culinary Union but when I got laid off, Cobra kicked in and wanted $500 month. After that, I called BCBS and they wanted $520 a month.

Do you blame insurance companies in any way?
