Is this seriously what the Republicans wanted re the ACA repeal?

It blows my mind what the Republicans voted to repeal with regards to the ACA - i.e. all of it, even the popular provisions like insurance companies having to take you even with a pre-existing condition and keeping your kids on your insurance plan until they are 26.

Please click the link below to the article that lays out everything they voted for repealing.

having more to do with the president who signed the Act into law rather than its merits.

1. It erases the labels ACA and ObamaCare.
2. It eliminates conflicts with their new sections (if any) and the old ACA.
3. If they decide to do nothing, then their work is finished on healthcare.

Advantages to DEMs: They have nothing, so can they write a bill in several months without DEM help? No.

And one day they will get a big blowback for their actions. Inflicting pain on innocent people for politicial gain is plain evil and stupid.

I remember another country that had a pushback from people they screwed over - France
