Where is fucking hyperfaggot???
The Republican approach is like finding out you have a few issues with your car, and instead of repairing the select few issues, you decide to replace the entire engine and/or transmission rather than the individual parts which is far cheaper in the long run. Finding out your alternator is shot means you replace the alternator, not the entire engine. You don't gut an entire bill because you don't like a couple of sections, you rewrite those sections in a way that benefits everyone. Costs are fucked up with ACA absolutely, but again the answer is not to dismantle it. It's to look at what is driving the costs up, and then make amendments that will actually fix the issue. Going back to how the bill was originally introduced to the Senate would be the best thing to do.
Funny, the same thing can be said about the ACA in the first place. We didn't need such sweeping legislation (god knows what's in those 2000+ pages), maybe just covering preexisting conditions and better coverage for dependents.
I do think the insurance industry should be heavily regulated, but the way the ACA went about doing stuff is wrong. It's basically a tax on the healthy. People either buy in, or pay a "penalty" for not buying in. Why should people be forced to pay if they don't feel the need to buy coverage.
This kind of thinly-veiled socialism always irks me.
This kind of blatent extortion always irks me.
I will lose my insurance when the the aca goes down. Hope I don't get hurt at work.

It's a real pity the US hasn't implemented what we call Medicare.
