[QUOTE="TheBigNewt, post: 1679183, member: 380756"] They won't repeal everything about it. The big things were:1: You can't refuse someone with a preexisting condition from buying private insurance if their employer doesn't provide it. That was big and won't change. You can keep your kids on your policy until they're 26. Insurance companies agreed to that before Obamacare. 2: People get a gubment subsidy if they make less than XXX if they buy in the marketplace. 3: You pay a tax/penalty to the gubment if you don't have health insurance. That does up every year. 4: Insurance policies must include a whole bunch of stuff no matter if you want it or not. Like coverage for pregnancy even if you're 60. Mental health stuff. Birth control. Government regulation stuff. So Trump already got rid of the tax/penalty. That never worked. The idea was to force healthy people to buy insurance at higher prices to offset the sick people who bought it. They didn't buy it so the sick people's insurance went way up, and so did the healthy persons bill. So they didn't buy it. They paid the penalty which is way cheaper. Or just didn't pay the penalty because they didn't get a tax refund to take it from. There was no penalty for not paying the penalty lol. Trump want to open the insurance markets across state lines.
