Donald Trump was elected partially on his promise to repeal Obamacare — but he may not have to do much.
Trump has already suggested that he has no intention of dismantling the law in its entirety. Despite the public’s overall dissatisfaction with the Affordable Care Act, certain popular elements remain. In particular, the provisions that allow children to stay on their parents’ insurance until they are 26 and the preexisting conditions clause are still viewed favorably by the public. The individual mandate and state-run health co-ops, however, have remained unpopular ever since their implementation.
Trump has proposed an end to these state-run co-ops, suggesting that an inter-state system of private competition could help lower costs across the board.
Implementing these changes without a filibuster-proof senate may be difficult, but the state-run co-ops look to be disappearing all by themselves.
Witness the scale of the state-run co-op collapse on the next page:
Let it die on it’s own.
I hope obama gets erased too

It’s absurd to allow grown adults to ride mom & dads insurance till 26. They are grown adults & need to step up and act like it. I agree that ACA should be allowed to collapse under its own weight, be working on a replacement now and fix all the flaws. Let all those attached rider bills die with ACA. they are only there bcos he made deals to buy enough votes to get it passed.
Most people under 26 get screwed by part time and independent contractor jobs. Its hard to c**p out 700 a month on insurance. It also is hard to earn money to buy insurance if you are physically or mentally ill.
F**e news
Charles Presley I wish my insurance was 700 a month.
Thank God that c**p can be stoped.
I am 54 and have experienced many and all you can imagine in the health care system. Including illness, emergency and insurance private and government and none at all. I am on medicaid and it has confirmed what i was already fearing and experiencing. Only to a very serious and intentional plan that is clear and asked? If it don`t sound right it not and like we heard we are to stupid to ?????? To think people are not crazy enough to do deceitful and malicious harm. I do not use insurance.
President Trump repealed the worst part of this program…
The fine for Americans who did not buy it.
