The republicans will replace obamacare with

Insurancecompanycare. I do not have to see what the republicans will try to put in place. I know it will be a giant give away to the insurance companies. When will working class republican voters wake up?

1. Well, it already is insurance care

If you mean the expanded medicaid, no they don't have a plan for that

[pat_k]

3. Yeah.

But, expansion of Medicaid is the best part -- and the first part Repubs will shitcan.

At least Medicaid has strict caps on payments for prescriptions and care. (And somehow the drug companies, the insurers and pharmacies that specialize in making deals for Medicaid business, and providers that take Medicaid, manage to make a buck on it.)

We do need to replace the Affordable Care Act. If not universal health care, than with an "interim" system that both expands Medicaid and offers a public option. The minute Dems jettisoned the public option, the ACA rapidly turned into the "shovel public funds into private insurance company coffers and drive up costs act."

2. Wish they'd just call it what it is -- "WeDontCare"

Just like GWB "ownership society" was really the "you're on your own-ership society."

4. Obamacare gave all of us some benefits.

Free preventive care is one example. We no longer have co-pays. I believe that and many other benefits will disappear. The only people who will benefit is the insurance companies.

6. Tax relief for the top brackets

Is job number one for these assholes.

5. I really don't think they will replace it with anything

They would much rather ditch Obama Care and let people hang out to dry-- their goal is to strip Government down to the bare bones, than squeeze it for any cash left they can stash in their pocket. Its a fleecing they want.

7. Bush tried to take away our SS

Romney and ryan wanted to take away our medicare, now trump and the republicans want to take away obamacare. How can any working class man or woman vote for the republican party? I don't get it. Its like they are trying to destroy themselves.

[QED]

8. with death panels, just like before.

Technically they're called insurance companies but in reality, they are death panels.

9. ACA was called a "giant giveaway to insurance companies" right here. It turned out otherwise.

But, the GOPer plan will likely be, but not through tax revenues.

Funny how we don't see how good something is until it's about to be repealed or gutted.

10. After the 2008 economic collapse

I believed it would wake up the working class republican voters about how bad the republican party was for them. I was wrong. They became even more ignorant and crazy. The tea party.

Maybe trump and this republican congress will be the disaster that finally wakes them up. Maybe not. Sometimes it feels hopeless.

[Hekate]

11. They'll replace it with diddly-squat. We'll have "the finest medical care in the world....

...for all those who can afford it." Everyone else can hold bake sales and go bankrupt.

OTOH, I think some GOP congressmen have been shaken by those town halls where constituents say things like "Three members of my family would be dead by now without the ACA."

[Rex]

12. Nothing. And because of corporate propaganda and vast ignorance, will still win elections.

We have a huge problem in this country staring us right in the face and daring us to do anything about it.
