How do you feel about repealing the ACA?

This question is more for people who voted Trump. How do you feel about Congress moving to repeal the ACA without an alternative in place? If it was such a big issue and obamacare is so bad then the alternative would have been easy to put into place right?
ACA will be gone and the working poor will be on their own. Want insurance? Become a billionaire!

@luckranger71: yes and premiums were going up at a much higher rate BEFORE ACA and a slower less rate after.

@JaggedLittlePill: we agree. Obama care is FUBAR. I didn't cause it and I certainly didn't support it. Yes Medicare needs to be increased. I am not arguing that with you. The feds said they would give funds and the their buddy the courts renigged. That's what happened. Grand scam.

have you seen what the ACA premiums are going up to?
you'll be paying out of pocket for everything anyway
you might as well consider it catastrophic insurance
which you used to be able to buy for way less before the ACA was enacted

@Niburu: so it's an expectation that it would 'stabilize'. Nothing suggests it will. Lower premiums will entail far lower benefits, and incremental benefits is likely to cost a lot more. So the possibility you land up with an insurance with little benefits is very very likely.

@BigAsset: again, we need insurance plans with less unnecessary benefits, there has to be a give and take on what you need and don't need. There is no one size fits all when it comes insurance plans. With the current ACA plans you already get very little for a lot of money and the premiums are schedule to go up dramatically.
The ACA was designed to fall apart and leave us with the only option of going to a single payer system.

@Niburu: that might well be. But there is no alternative plan on the table!!!

@JaggedLittlePill: well said 👍. Criticizing is easy but finding solutions is not. Was just another election promise thrown in the ring to con the working class.

@JaggedLittlePill: I didn't mean for you to calm down in that sense. I like your passion! I just didn't want you to attack me is all.
Shit like the 29 hour work week.. Oh hell that put the economy in the toilet. The idiots there haven't a clue how the real world works and them fucking with Healthcare, did they make anything better? You might be able to name a few but it doesn't make everything peaches and roses. They messed it up good and all deliberate too.

@BigAsset: It's totally messed up and just additional taxes.

@curiosi: my question is if it's so messed up fixing it would be easy for the republicans right? Why take three years now to do it?
