... only because the GOP has been cutting at it for fifteen years.
They will not kill it.
Indeed.
The Democratic/Socialists/Communists trying to solve the problems they created with other people’s money.

If you really give a fuck about the money, you will push for universal healthcare in America. It is far cheaper and covers everybody. Our system exists because the insurance companies and corporate hospitals have enormous lobbying power and money to donate to politicians. Look what they are doing to other people's money? Insurance companies loot billions from the system and they do not have a product. They do not provide health care. They prevent it as much care as they can to make more money for execs and investors. Our system sucks. The ACA was a first step in fixing it, but the looters prevailed. And you rightys happily pretend our system works.
history shows a lack of competition makes things worse
you are stupid. you have stupid solutions because you are a loser that is unable to think

Republicans Will Never Find a Health Care Replacement
The GOP is too wedded to free markets and scornful of the welfare state to ever make anything in health care work.

“Doing nothing on health care is not the right answer,” the Virginia Republican later told NBC News, summing up her message to colleagues. “I would really appreciate if we could have a timeline because we know that the end of the calendar year is coming, and I don’t want to see people’s premiums go up. I don’t want to see people lose their health insurance.”
Republicans are careening to a health care cliff with no solution in hand. An estimated 22 million people in the U.S. are about to see their health insurance premiums soar by, in some cases, thousands of dollars per month, as billions in funding for the Affordable Care Act expires on Dec. 31. The expiring funds, costing about $35 billion per year, were first passed during the pandemic to subsidize insurance payments, capping premiums for a “benchmark” ACA, or “Obamacare,” plan to 8.5% of income.
Kiggans has offered a bill to extend those funds for one year, as a stopgap option to prevent cost increases while Congress haggles over a longer-term solution.
But just 14 Republicans have signed on. And her plea appears to be falling on deaf ears with the rest of the party.

Obamacare tax credits look likely to expire as Trump rules out an extension
Republicans are unlikely to renew Affordable Care Act subsidies before year-end deadline, as Obamacare health insurance premiums soar.

Bullshit. Obamacare, at the onset, cost millions of people their family doctors, and thousands of small clinics were forced to close or sell out to big hospitals due to the cost of additional staff and paperwork.
Easy, since they do not exist.

The problems come because the GOP keeps trying and failing to kill it instead of making it even better.
Where as we all have been waiting 10 years for non-existent Trump care.
Before Trump started his second term, exactly how did the republicans kill anything involved with obamacare?

A single example: ending the required mandate.
question: where is Trumpcare after ten years?
Who ended the required mandate?
