If you're seriously talking about dismantling an entire health care system, you better damn well have a replacement in mind.

rose petals at the feet of the master. You know what's going to happen? They aren't going to repeal it at all. They'll extend it for 2 years and then extend it for 2 more as long as the schtick will play. There's no alternate plan because this was the Republican plan.

Perhaps Jesse "The Body" Ventura can be next?

Still nuttier than a granola factory, but even he would be an improvement over the disaster we are facing.

the M$Media****** behind them, the FBI, the Russian hackers, wikileakers, voter suppression, voter purges working for them.

Obama willingly expressed an open door to republicans to bring forward anything that could improve ACA.

They're all worthless.

insurance model that covers the sickest (pre-existing conditions) and lifts yearly and lifetime caps can sustain itself is to widen the insurance pool with the indidual mandate. The Republicans have not and will not come up with a viable alternative because they foolishly painted themselves into a political corner on the issue of the individual mandate.
