Repealing the ACA would increase federal budget deficits by $137 billion over the 2016–2025 period

If the ACA wasn't the most massive Tax Increase in US history, then how could it possibly "increase the deficit" if it is repealed?

I guess that you didn't bother to read the OP link before weighing in with you uninformed, inane blather. At lease take the time to deal with what has been presented. Got brains??

Do you understand what a Rhetorical Question is? You must be a liberal because you are an idiot.
The answer to the question is, The ACA IS A TAX. Dems tried to claim it was not a Tax. SCOTUS illegally legislated from The Bench to save the ACA, which in reality they are not permitted to do. The ACA is an ILLEGAL LAW. And it should never have been allowed to be put in to effect, much less with the blessing of SCOTUS.

And once again it is pertinent to point out that any policy that has $6000-$8000 deductible is not insurance, it is a donation.

It's called being Self Insured which is what High Deductable plans actually are. A way to force you to pay for Insurance that you cannot use, but some lazy underachieving scum gets to use.

For the most part, yes.
It is also basically catastrophic insurance, but at full insurance premiums.

I'm an idiot?? I was responding to your assertion that repeal would not increase the deficit and directed you to information- that you were to lazy to partake of- that shows you're wrong.

Then you respond with this - a different issue all together. Classic red herring and non sequitur. The use of logical fallacies is a shore sign of insecurity in ones own beliefs, and a indication of low information

WASHINGTON—In an effort to reassure citizens ahead of a planned effort to overhaul the U.S. healthcare system, Republican congressional leaders promised Monday that Americans would still be able to keep their current medical conditions if the Affordable Care Act is repealed. “Whatever health problem you have right now, you will absolutely still be allowed to continue having it once Obamacare has been dismantled,” said House Speaker Paul Ryan, adding that the repeal of the landmark healthcare legislation would in no way prevent patients from maintaining their existing medical issues or even adding to their afflictions.

Repeal and replace in disarray!!

Republicans Trying To Replace Obamacare Still Don't Have Any Idea What They're In For | The Huffington Post
PHILADELPHIA ― Senate and House Republicans came to their GOP retreat here to get on the same page on Obamacare, to figure out the broad strokes of a health care alternative and to emerge with a unified message.

That did not happen.

Republicans talk broadly about incorporating some elements they’ve already agreed to in the past, like expanding health savings accounts, creating high-risk pools and lifting barriers to the purchase of insurance plans across state lines. But those ideas alone assume that some crippled version of Obamacare remains in place and that Republicans in both chambers go along with gutting the health care system without a real replacement plan. The closer Republicans get to the sticking point, though, the more some lawmakers will want policy particulars, which their leaders simply don’t have.

Republicans now look ready to have an actual debate on Obamacare, with hearings and multiple bills. This process would take time and could generate significant backlash. If Republicans are able to repeal Obamacare with, say, a three-year delay on the effective date, they could use those years to develop and pass multiple individual components of a health care alternative.

But those bills would likely all need 60 votes in the Senate, and there’s little incentive for Democrats to go along with gutting the law, especially if GOP lawmakers are shaky about what they’re doing.

And so it begins! Where are all of the idiots who voted for Trump because he promised to get rid of the ACA and replace it with something great that will cover everyone at a lower price? You fools are about to get sucker punched. You are either going to lose your coverage or end up with a policy that you pay more for and get less.!

What would it cost to keep it?

What would it cost to keep it?

To keep the ACA? The question that opponents of the ACA keep ducking is what is the cost of not keeping it, or at least to have a system that covers most people at a price that they can afford? What is the cost to the economy and to taxpayers when we have a lot of sick people who are no longer productive and paying taxes but on disability instead. The other thing that opponents can't deal with is the human cost. You can't put a price tag on everything. These people in congress are heartless bastards who are giving the store away to the wealthy and screwing the poor and elderly.
