I have a hard time imagining anything passing with this Congress. Any law. I swear, they could have a vote on whether oxygen was good for people and it wouldn't pass. Everyone is salty.
I'm not talking about repeal but complete bipartisan reform. And the ACA really doesn't work that well, it's too expensive and plans costs are increasing incredibly fast
No repeal, no tea party votes.If they take repeal off the table (they won't) some bipartisan work could get done.Premiums and deductibles in blue and purple states are going up at a slower rate than before the ACA.
t turns out that across the board, for all ages and family sizes, for HMO, PPO, and POS plans, premium increases averaged about 60 percent from 2013, the last year before ACA reforms took effect, to 2017. In same length of time preceding that, all groups experienced premium increases of less than 10 percent, and most age groups actually experienced premium decreases, on average.

So the author, an obvious conservative with an agenda, talks about cherry picking being bad, than uses unsubstaniated data, from which he obviously cherry picked data.I read through some of his other articles and checked his CV to confirm my suspicions.
Link that supports your claims about premiums?
It's been widely reported for years outside of the far right echo chamber. I don't have the time or energy to sift through years of reports at the moment.The fact that the author showed premiums going down before the ACA, discredited the rest of his article.
Private insurance isn't working well, prices are high and many people aren't able to afford their insane deductibles
FYP
I pay 260$ a year, and have little to no deductibles with my private insurance in network But these people paying 600-1200 a month on Obama care with high deductible plans ranging in the several thousands don't seem very happy
Yeah, those insurance companies are freaking them pretty hard.
Rand Paul despises Trump.
