Ha hahahaha surprise
Washington (CNN)Republicans are just getting started on their years-long dream of repealing Obamacare, and already, there are fears that things are moving too fast.
Some Republicans are cautioning against repealing the Affordable Care Act too quickly and urging the party take the foot off the accelerator. The reason: there's no plan on how to replace what they roll back. And while GOP lawmakers are eager to please their base with headlines of Obamacare's repeal, they don't want to be blamed for leaving people without health insurance and chaos in the healthcare market.

Yeah but if we get rid of Obamacare it's worth it. Who care how much it costs right?
President-elect Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans love to say how unaffordable Obamacare is. But completely repealing the health reform law would be pretty costly to the federal budget.
A full repeal of Obamacare would cost $350 billion over the next decade, according to a new analysis from the bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. This makes its wholesale dismantling much more complicated.
Obamacare was carefully crafted in 2010 so that it didn't add to the federal deficit -- in fact, it boosted revenues slightly. The law affects the federal budget in three ways: coverage provisions, taxes and fees, and Medicare components.

Whats $35 billion a year over 10 years in comparison?  |

I thought executive action was unconstitutional? Oh wait, that's only if it's a Democrat signing them.
They have no idea what they're doing. There is no 'replace' in place. Chaos

Chaos and Trump explicitly said that the changes would be made over a 2 year period and Tom Price, the man he appointed to make the changes has published a pretty clear plan for how it will work. But yes, chaos. <edit> and you understand he still has 2 weeks until he even gets sworn in right? How would anything be "in place" |

Since you are now so concerned about the national debt...Good thing Obamacare was carefully crafted! |

LOL!!!! Republican rep from TN posts a twitter poll to see how many of her constituents want ACA repealed. Didn't know there were so many liberals in TN. This is worse than the national average of 26% that want repeal
This is what you call a mandate

Just wait till Trump explodes the deficit, then it won't matter anymore just like it didn't when bush was president |

Just wait till Trump explodes the deficit, then it won't matter anymore just like it didn't when bush was president Exploding the deficit to build roads, train stations and airports is OK. There are long term returns associated with such investments. |
