The problem for Democrats is not exactly this: “As many as 3.4 million people who received Obamacare subsidies may owe refunds to the federal government, according to an estimate by a tax preparation firm… H&R Block is estimating that as many as half of the 6.8 million people who received insurance premium subsidies under the Affordable Care Act benefited from subsidies that were too large, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.” Although it’s definitely going to be a problem: ‘several million people suddenly discovering that they now owe back taxes to the government over Obamacare’ is not exactly a good scenario, especially if you belong to the political party that set that scenario up in the first place. But it’s still not the worst thing for Democrats.

Its almost as much of a shock as the incredibly HIGH DEDUCTIBLES of the ACA. You will go broke before the plans even kick in anything towards your healthcare costs each year.

And are people still under the impression that reps are going to anything about it?
My bet is they either stumble over with reasons why they will not or can not repeal.
Or just do a remove and replace job.
Lobbyist passed this bill, and both sides work for the same ones.

When the government gets involved, things get expensive and messed up.
I think that we need to look at socialized medicine and a whole different agency looking over it. We have one of the most expensive health care systems in the world, and our rate of fixing health issues is very poor. Healthcare should not be a for profit business where the more you go the more that the providers profit.

That is true. If people wanted extra coverage other than the basics Medicare provides, they could buy their own policy.

To be specific it's a 2008 Hope & Change shirt I found in a dumpster behind the local DES office.
