It is really quite remarkable. Since Trump went into office and announced the repealing of the ACA with no replacement in sight, it caused a uproar even amongst his fanbase. First the shock was that the Affordable Health Care Act or the ACA was actually Obamacare. Yes, some had no clue and their bias to anything Obama became problematic when they realized they actually depended on this care. Repealing without replacement became a BIG problem; however, instead of being patient and strategically planning, Trump pushed for repeal and his Republican lackeys jumped on board.
Many constituents are getting vocal about the ACA and are concerned its repeal is the wrong move–this includes MANY Republicans. Are your representatives in Congress listening? Not if they think protests and outrage in the Town Hall meetings are staged liberal activist events—by the way they are not. It turns out that most people like having healthcare–Imagine that.
Trump actually went on the record today (follow link to see the clip) that “It is an unbelievably complex subject. No body knew healthcare could be so complicated…” Hmmm, yes, yes we did know, you ignoramus.
Some “other things” you may not know. Do you know that if people do not have insurance their only option for care is showing up at the local ER? and did you know that when they show up there, they MUST be treated? That it is illegal to turn them away? Yup, that means they are clogging up Emergency Services with issues like the common cold and the flu—-and all the care they get is provided at NO COST—well, that part is not true. Hospital care cost LOTS and who do you think pays for this—well, YOU my friend. YOU do. Uninsured drive up healthcare costs. The more expensive costs then drive up insurance costs…and maybe you get the picture now—-hence, the purpose of the ACA and the reason it was necessary.
