Start with Medicare and Medicaid (for poor) and bring everyone into these programs.

It ain't rocket science.
They love it but there are a s*** load of doctors out there that won't accept it.

Exactly! And that is what is happening now. People are dropping out because they can't afford the premiums. The insurance companies are jacking up the price on the people still trying to keep insurance. And then they can't afford it so they drop off. Insurance companies raise prices again, more people drop insurance.

Go flush your commode, see the water going down. You're looking at he Obamacare law going down the toilet because people can't afford it and they are forced to lose their insurance and insurance companies can't keep taking these huge losses.

The CBO is very well respected, despite what President Bonkers' minions said on all the Sunday talk shows.

Once the folks on ACA get the ability to ascertain their cost and or eligibility next year, well that's when it hits the fan.
and the rest of them that don't know and find out that ACA is Obamacare.

That'll change if there's a single payer system.

Yeah and I ask you to think past your nose for once. A free market driven healthcare system will not work. Because of simply a profit motive. The solution is government run insurance.

We've tried deregulation (pre-ACA). Regulation (ACA). Both times they failed as the free market fails to provide decent coverage at an affordable price. What else is there left to do?

You should really read the link.

I agree. Single payer makes total sense to me but it would take a lot to get it approved and working.

And you don't have a clue about "government run" anything, they always screw things up just like they did healthcare. There were much better ways but no, they had to "take over".

Default CBO report is in...14 million fewer will be insured

Oh k-a-a-a-a-y...

But only 13 million of those are Trumplings.

They voted for him just so they could lose their insurance.

He's keeping his promise to mess them over. I kinda doubt that they get it.

Yet...
