Obamacare is giving us "reduced coverage and higher costs" already.
So now the excuse is Obamacare is already bad, so who cares if this bill may be worse or just as bad.
Even some of the avid supporters of this bill can't seem to deny how terrible it is.

Forget that, why don't these 6 Nobel scholars tell us how to fix Obamacare ?

The fact they are NPP recipients means nothing. I mean come on...they gave one to Obama. Seriously...they GAVE a Nobel Peace Prize to Barrack Obama one year into his presidency.
If that doesn't tell you the Nobel Peace Prize is purely political then I don't know what does.

No one supporting the new health care bill thinks it is "good" in the capacity in which you are referring.
We tried the socialized medicine and the market and the insurers and the people have spoken.
It sucks and it doesn't work.

However, everyone...and I mean everyone KNOWS it is much better than Obama Care.

6 of them apparently. When Nobel winning economists come out against your bill then you should get the hint:
A group of economists that includes six Nobel Prize winners is expressing opposition to Senate Republicans' legislation to replace ObamaCare, arguing that it "threatens reduced coverage and higher costs for those who continue to have it."
In a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), the economists wrote that "the Senate bill would narrow coverage, and by driving relatively healthy people from the market, raise premiums for those who remain."

Last month we had the CBO warned us that the GOP's original healthcare bill would leave 23 million uninsured. They've revised this to 22 million for the senate bill. The majority GOP held congress can't seem to muster enough support for the previous bill or this senate healthcare bill. They had to revise it again. it doesn't help either that the American Medical Association has come out opposing the legislation:

Nobody can seem to explain or justify this replacement law. It just sounds as though those who support it support it on the basis of Trumps support and getting rid of Obamacare. It's a mess.
