        Repealing ObamaCare and replacing it with nothing. That will the most effective way of killing the defenseless.

        I'm not arguing it's a sound policy choice. But if voters were seeing 22% ACA increases, they're bound to lash out.

        And they will be told that POC, immigrants, and women are the reason, and should be dealt with.

        I guess Democrats should have pushed for a public option, then, to prevent that.

        Do you realize they're one state control away from being able to amend or dismantle the Constitution?

        Technically, not quite. But close. Again, a good reason to make sure signature policy is going to work for people who vote.

        How did so many think it wasn't worth even voting? Are they repentant or far worse, do they still think it doesn't matter?

        Nor does irrational support of Trump (or rational oppo to Hillary). Politics is abt emotion. Hard to distinguish fr policy.

        Wondered if this had an impact. Did people receive letters before the election with their premium hikes? Or only announced ?

        Marketplace opened on Nov 1. So they may have seen their hikes by then.

        Rate hikes only affect the 20% who get insurance on exchanges; how many of those voted for Trump? Is this more re poor info?

        If it had an effect, it might be, yes. But if you get your news from headlines, still possible.

        That's my point. This may be another way press failed in this election round.

        this has to be the most important thing no one is talking about. The response was classic dismissive misdirection .
