Good, screw it.
I get that this doesn't work- but it could- all you'd have to do is ban health insurance completely at the same time.
Can't fix the cost of healthcare with insurance in the picture.
Donald Trump has repeatedly assured the American people that their health-care system will collapse on his watch. In many instances, the president has framed this claim as a matter-of-fact assessment of Obamacare’s incurable flaws — in others, as a promise to kill the law by any means necessary.
In early April, Trump sounded the latter note. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, the president suggested that he would cease paying out cost-sharing reductions — subsidies to insurers that defray the cost of covering low-income Obamacare enrollees — so as to engineer a crisis in the private insurance market, and, thus, generate more support for repealing Barack Obama’s signature law.

Well the American people did vote to get rid of it. So maybe they should just get rid of Medicade and Medicare. And see what happens.
Maybe next time quite so many people won't vote to get rid of it.

True, but the American people did not vote for it either! I didnt agree with it to begin with. Keep the government out of our food and health care.

Government needs to stay out of healthcare until they're willing to set up a system like those that work in other countries.

Are you sure about that? You might want to check into some of the toxicities in food and drugs that the FDA has prevented you from consuming. People will sell you some very vile and contaminated substances and foods to pad their pockets. Shouldn't there be someone with the authority to say "You Can't Do That"?

Why do you think they are unwilling to do that?

Oh gosh yes, absolutely. If we didn't have governments regulating what MOnsanto and co could put in our food, we'd all be in very serious trouble indeed.
I mean we're already in serious trouble as it is. But things would be much much worse.
This country is like the Ferengi... profit is everything.
Enjoy the floundering, though--I agree, though, that if they really wanted to replace it, they could have easily had a decent plan already. The problem is, the PPACA is designed to be unviable and lead to a single-payer system, and so replacing something that is designed so terribly is nearly impossible (and, IMO, inappropriate for the federal government to be doing, anyhow).
