Nonetheless since the ACA was passed what replacement plan has been proposed during the 45+ votes to repeal it?
However I'm sure the millions of people who now have insurance or who had pre-existing conditions will just be thrilled if its repealed and nothing replaces it.
Doing something just for the sake of doing something is asinine.
The ACA was nothing but a cash-grab for the insurance companies. It's no coincidence that all of the top insurer's stocks went up like crazy after the SCOTUS announced their decisions on it.
The best way to reduce health costs is to get insurance companies out of the way for routine and sick visits. Heck, for the costs of the ACA, the government could buy a catastrophic health plan for every American (not saying I would support such a thing, but just saying).
