This is probably the worst idea the Republicans have today. It became obvious to me that repealing Obamacare was impossible when the Republicans had the house after Donald Trump won the first time, and they were absolutely decimated if not annihilated on the house floor by their counter parts citing l the number of people who would become uninsured if Obamacare was repealed—you’re never gonna be able to repeal it, into the extent that you do, you will regret it politically. You need to stop trying. If anything what you should do is try to move the ball toward the Medicare advantage model, even though that doesn’t seem to actually save any money, but this endless crusade to repeal people‘s healthcare is not getting anybody anywhere especially the GOP. President. Trump was right when he said don’t touch Medicare or Medicaid for that matter and he should’ve included Obamacare—people like their healthcare. You’re not gonna roll it back

If I ruled the world I would make third-party payment illegal and make everybody pay cash—no private insurance, no public insurance. You know what would happen? The cost of healthcare would come down I think by 90% and we would all be in a free market, but guess what that is never going to happen and if you tried to propose it, your own voters would turn you out. office.
