This "repeal and delay" gambit seems like typical GOP hijinks. It would crater the insurance market immediately.http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/obamacare-republicans-repeal-replace-232025 …

That said, I expect the new Congress will pass last year's reconciliation Obamacare repeal again, regardless.http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/obamacare-republicans-repeal-replace-232025 …

A leading sign will be what the Trump admin does with the individual mandate. It's highly unlikely they'd keep it in place for three years.

"We've repealed Obamacare, but you still have to buy insurance or pay the IRS penalty until 2019?" LOL. Nope. THAT. WILL. NOT. FLY.

Which means the individual mandate is going to die by hook or by crook early next year. Either immediate repeal or an effective amnesty.

The mandate is the source of much of the right's animus towards Obamacare. It'd be suicide to leave it in place, even for a few years.

There is no spin, no sales pitch, that will let the Congressional GOP keep it in place. Killing it is, pardon the word, mandatory.

Even if the rest of it limps along for a few more years, without the mandate, Obamacare, on the private insurance side, will be dead.

The rest will be about individual regulations like community rating, pre-existing conditions, young adult coverage. And Medicaid.

Community Rating and pre-existing condition coverage are the nucleus of the effort technically. Need to deal with those.
