      so then you are for repealing and replacing the ACA... right?

      it depends on what you mean by replace. Also, no reason but rhetorical to "repeal" if you're going to "replace."

      I mean replacing it with something that actually lowers the cost of healthcare. The ACA doesn't.

      I believe they expected a different outcome. I think they should have said up front they were taxing. That was a lie.

      how could they expect a different outcome if it is clear to all you can't increase coverage / quality and decrease costs?

      all the money they spent passing the ACA could have been used to create a Gov sponsored insurer who followed the regs of the ACA

      but that may have been more difficult to enact.

          I have to disagree, would have been an actual compromise with Republicans and would have found actual bipartisan support

          I can't see Congress agreeing to fund a government health insurer that is more competitive than private insurers.

          it wouldn't have been more competitive sans perhaps a little in the beginning, it would have been targeted for those without
