Actually, I've been saying that for months. Repeal it and let the chips fall where they may. If the private sector is so great, let the people see it in action. Repeal is what the Republicans really want--so DO it already or give it up!Trump said during his campaign he would fight to repeal Obamacare and replace it with health care that would be better for everyone, and that no one would lose their insurance. Now with him seeing that it was much easier to say than do, he's telling Senators to repeal it now, leaving millions of Americans without health care, and replace it later. What a lying piece of shit he is, thankfully there are enough Republicans in the Senate that will not let that fly. Now who still thinks he will get re-elected? He just told millions of Red state voters that have recently come to their wits on how important Obamacare is to them, and Trump just told them he doesn't care.
""If Republican Senators are unable to pass what they are working on now, they should immediately REPEAL, and then REPLACE at a later date!" Trump wrote in a Twitter post."
Trump to Senate Republicans: kill Obamacare now, replace later
Repeal is not going to return us to private sector market forces in health care. There is still far too much interference from the government and third parties.
I've seen this line of thinking over and over.
There is no market in certain parts of the country. There are entire regions of rural America, multiple counties, where almost half of the market for the regional health center is Medicaid. There's not enough of a market for barely one payer let alone competition among many. This is why you see payers pulling out of the exchanges serving these areas.
This is also why these rural hospitals and clinics will disappear if Medicaid is cut as significantly as they are planning.
