Expanding group coverage across state lines and approving individual plans to be sold without mandated coverages.

I think it's a sign of incompetent and ineffectual republicans in congress.
I always thought it was stupid to not allow interstate competition in the insurance market so I like it.

Rand Paul says it will cause Big Insurance to 'bend the knee' to consumers.

Goodbye Obamacare, die slow or die fast
imo more choice and competition is always a good thing. This way people can select the best fit for them and insurance companies are required to sell competetive products.

I have had Medishare for the past 6 months, a form of group coverage. $10k deductible, discounts on services with participating providers. My share (cost) is about $205 to $230/ month, depending on the needs of the group. It's an ideal plan for most people but only few will qualify, since you have to be a practicing Christian, don't drink excessively, don't do drugs or tobacco. I'm glad to see that Trump has made it possible for non-believers to group into similar private programs.

Think the worst, the absolute worst. Now just as before the ACA, people will be able to buy cheap health insurance. This in not inexpensive insurance but cheap insurance that won't cover them when they actually have a serious hospitalization.
It's not that it was prohibited, states just had their own requirements regarding coverages. In one sense it's a slap st states rights but it's a solution to overbearing regulation. Difficult call.

I just heard he signed an Exec order ending the subsidies.
Yup. Congress chose to do nothing so he had no choice but to stop throwing good money after bad.
It was handy that BO got away with rewriting legislation so the left can say nothing about it.
Trump is targetting his own base on two fronts (the poor who support Trump but overwhelmingly eat up most of the Obamacare benefits, and the rich who will see the rates increase). They'll stick with him, though, because racism and cultural issues 'trump' their own economic and health interests.

Congress approved the ACA, and Trump has destroyed it. What happened to the replacement Trump promised?
There was never a replacement that rated about 15% in approval.

Over 7 years and republicans couldn't do anything!
What is even MORE condemning is that Obamacare WAS the compromise that Republicans were looking for pre-Obama. A black man can't even sell them their own ideas, apparently.

Yes, but what is the replacement? This affects real peoples' lives. Making willy nilly decisions like Pelosi and Owebama did is no better.
