ObamaCare was already dead.
Heard on CBS News on the radio that the last insurance companies were all pulling out by 2018 no matter what happened.
Also in the state of Iowa right now....94 of 96 county's have NO insurance provider left for ObamaCare.
People with brains have been saying since 2009 that the math never added up for this.
And I have said since 2009 that what REALLY needs to be done is for the govt. to STOP allowing Big Corporations that run hospitals to price gouge us in the United States on EVERY procedure they do.
Making it impossible to pay out of pocket for routine minor surgeries (appendix and stuff like that).
And then stop Big Pharma from price gouging us in the U.S. and allowing them to charge us 5 to 6 times MORE for prescription drugs than any other country in the world.
The U.S. Govt. even sets up the border patrol to SEARCH you if you come back from Tijuana with your prescription filled there.
It's a total ripoff.
We shouldn't NEED health insurance except for CATASTROPHIC health insurance (heart attack, horrible car accident, or other huge medical issue).
If the government weren't involved at all...we would be better off. Once they got involved and started taking billions of dollars in lobbyists money from Big Pharma, Big Hospital Corporations, and Big Insurance...THAT is when prices began to skyrocket.
People just didn't bother with "health insurance" in my lifetime during the 1960's, 1970's, 1980's up until the late 1990's because you didn't NEED it. You paid for it out of pocket.
ObamaCare was nothing more than the finishing touches on the scam. And this "replace" is more of the same.
They should have simply REPEALED it.
Get the governments endless supply of corrupt money out of the system and you would watch prices fall into line quickly.
