Do you support the repeal of "Obamacare?, This was a question asked by Marsha Blackburn, and posted

on Raw Story, and she asked if so, what do you want to see as the replacement?

Paul Ryan did a similar thing.

The responses were mostly saying keep, do not repeal it.

However, if the republicans are looking for something to replace the ACA with, I think the Democrats should help them out, and speaks with one united strong voice and tell them if they get rid of the ACA, then

REPLACE IT WITH MEDICARE FOR ALL!!!

That should be the Democrats solution if the republicans want to repeal the ACA, and take it to the people

My sister works in a specialty skilled nursing facility for which Medicare will pay for LESS THAN HALF of the actual cost of each day's stay. The only thing that keeps them open is the patients with commercial payers that subsidize the Medicare losses.

those covered with commercial insurance. But they don't and it's not really altruism in most cases.
