I'm doubtful an ACA repeal will be voted on soon

[SHRED]

I sense that the crazy repubs will fight with the batshit crazy repubs over ACA repeal. It could get ugly.

I'll get my popcorn ready for the show.

1. It'll be political suicide...

In red states.

They've had six years to come up with a replacement and all they've done is vote to repeal.

2. Within minutes of Trumps Tweet,

Health Care and Insurance Stocks got slammed big time.

5. And were probably shorted by investors with insider info

Wanna bet there was unusual shorting activity on this industry?

Also, consider the lawsuits that will be filed - by everyone in the system - if it is repealed. The system will be in turmoil for years. But, then again, it was going to be in turmoil for years anyway. At this point, the more turmoil the better. It's the only thing his moronic supporters might understand - when they lose everything - medicaid, obamacare, food stamps. section 8 housing, SS disability payments, women's health care, etc.

8. Family aquaintance sellls

ACA plans. Here is the real thing that bothers the Insurance Companies,about 5%of the population uses the largest portion of Medical Services. Which under ACA they can not be discriminated against. Because this group contains the most unhealthy and disabled among us. This is the Group the Republican Party wants to get rid of simply they cost their benefactors to much Profit.

3. They can't repeal and REPLACE because they have nothing with which to replace ACA,

so they'll fight among themselves for some time.

That's all good for us!

6. It's possible, in spite of all the complaining...

... that the insurance companies actually appreciate the ACA.

It certainly pulled their feet out of the fire, and maybe they don't want to go back to the way it was.

The ACA was, after all, crafted as an alternative to intensely socialized medicine following Canadian or European models.

The only thing the health insurance industry seems to care about is the size of their revenue streams. The bigger the stream, the more money they can siphon off.

The ACA only enhanced those streams.

7. The insurance companies are doing very well

so they don't want repeal, it will create much more work and less profit
