If the debate doesn't include lowering the cost of medical care/procedures/medications in this country, every "healthcare" bill is merely rearranging Titanic deck chairs.
Single Payer would lower the overall cost of medical care, but it comes with it's own unique problems.
I agree, that is the problem, also they are looking at state level ACA type system too, which I fully agree with.

They want to allow selling across state lines too. That would be great for people in (Expensive) New York. But hell for people in (Relatively Inexpensive) Wisconsin.
All the New York people would flock to the Wisconsin exchange...causing those premiums to SOAR like a North Korean rocket. The citizens in the Badger state would be screwed by New Yorkers.

Only if the premiums in both areas are the same. Just like high risk drivers are charged more than low risk drivers for car insurance, it's safe to assume that people living in high risk danger areas are going would be charged more than those in low risk danger areas.

The ACA co-opted a lot of Republican healthcare ideas such as the plan implemented in Maryland under Governor Romney.
It's no surprise that, despite their bluster, they might want to keep much of it.

ATS, if the Senate is unable to Repeal-Replace ObamaCare, are you for Congress directing billions of additional taxpayer dollars (YOUR dollars) to RESCUING the private health-insurance side of ObamaCare?

Hell no, just let it die from starvation. Truth be told, that would be the best course of action anyway.

It's starting to look more and more like ObamaCare Repeal-Replace is DEAD. Two more defectors today...
""Republican Sens. Mike Lee and Jerry Moran have announced opposition to the GOP health care bill, effectively stalling the legislation.""

Didn't they help write it to begin with...?
Wonder if this had anything to do with it:
