Removing the mandate was a step backwards, young healthy people need to pay in rather than wait until they are sick and use emergency rooms for primary care. People will continue to use services and not pay, every one needs healthcare at some point.

Obamacare was doomed from the start. No cost controls, now all that's left for working American families are $7,000 deductibles and $1000 a month premiums.

You might want to check out how many people on the right are covered under the ACA. That's why it's not a popular idea to get rid of it.

Nobody uses emergency rooms except the insured. That was one of ACA proponents' big lies.

"In contrast to expectations, uninsured patients were less likely to use the ED for less-urgent care."

Counties always have full service outpatient clinics with waiting rooms stuffed with the indigent and other hoi polloi just down the corridor from the ERs that are liberally frequented by the insured.

Hardly. I'm insured under the ACA, and have never used an emergency room since I've been covered. However, sometimes people need an emergency room at 10:00 at night.

Also, ER use for the uninsured has declined in some places because of Medicaid expansion under the ACA.
