All your medical increases were scheduled to happen with the ACA long before Trump took office
@Niburu: Not the increases that will come from Trump having it repealed and having [b]NO[/b] insurance. Pay attention.

@bijouxbroussard: you can't know that will happen
half of what you posted was mere supposition

[i][/i]@what else would you expect from that racist bigot?
@Jackjjacksonjr: I assume the racist bigot to whom you refer is our president.
@Niburu: No, it's common sense. Taking someone's healthcare away with nothing to replace it, means [b]no coverage[/b].

@RandomUniverse: of course not Einstein I refer to your pal bb.
@Jackjjacksonjr: She is my pal. I know her well, and have had several discussions with her on race relations. And I don't pal around with racists. BB does not have a racist bone in her body. Racism of any stripe is repugnant to BB. You know not of what you speak.

If you had any integrity you would apologize to her. You are dead wrong. And have ventured into the realm of libel.

@RandomUniverse: WRONG

@bijouxbroussard: which has not happened as of yet, and they are saying it will be replaced with another plan, time will tell

again you are engaging in mere supposition
@Niburu: They have no other plan. They've stated their intention to repeal the coverage that currently exists. And the EO is signed. Moderate Republicans had asked Trump to wait until he [b]has[/b] something to replace it, but he's refused. Vague descriptions like "it's going to be great" might be enough for you, but most want to know where they will actually stand.

@bijouxbroussard: again you are engaging in mere supposition

you and others are stating things as if they have already happened, which they haven't
@Niburu: Facts:
[b]1) There is no other plan
2) The EO to repeal the ACA has been signed and the process begun---without a replacement.[/b]

@bijouxbroussard: 1) you don't know that for sure, there been all kinds of discussion about saving numerous popular provisions
2) yay! we need to remove it to see what was in it
@Niburu: You contradict yourself. There is no other plan for the people who are going to lose their healthcare, yet you applaud them losing their healthcare. A "discussion" doesn't pay the doctor's bills.

Again, no one here (including you) has any idea what is going to actually happen.

Regardless of anything else the ACA is going to fall apart and be unaffordable anyway (by design).

It can either be pulled down now and some modified version or something else new be put in.
Or you can watch it self destruct in the next 2 years as the insurance companies pull out and people can't afford the scheduled premium increases.
@Niburu: As I said, moderate Republicans asked him to leave things in place until they could come up with a viable replacement. But due to [b]spite[/b] Trump and his cronies would rather leave their constituents with no safety net at all. And anyone not blinded by Trump worship can see it clearly. Even if Trump was taking steps to expand Medicare (which would've been Bernie's solution), it would be [b]something[/b].
