Republicans wrong about Obamacare

The thing is though, Trump really isn't one of them. He has his own agenda. Based on listing to several interviews going back 30 years, I think he really wants to help America by providing better heath care and bring jobs back to America and all that. I think that massive ego of his demands that he does a better job of being president than anyone. Only time will tell how successful or unsuccessful he will be.

(clicky)then why did he pick tom price, a man who has long been hostile to the idea of gov't assistance for the working class to have affordable health care, insurance reform, value-based health care, and even medicare itself?

We will just have to wait and see what happens.

If Obamacare gets scrapped, and there's nothing in its place, then those who become disenfranchised by the move will go on a crime spree. Why? Well, without medication to keep their volatile behaviours in check, who will be safe anywhere? Buildings will burn, monuments will fall.

or at the very least, the individual health insurance market will crater, along with at least one insurance company.

Most of the coverage from Obamacare is Medicaid which is not good healthcare and is ran by the states, repealing the law does not mean that Medicaid expansion in your state will automatically be rolled back. Nothing about Obamacare lowers prices, it does the opposite actually and there are some decent Republican proposals for lowering cost. Cost has always been more of the issue than access to insurance coverage.

say "medicaid" is better than "no aid" to any medicaid recipient, and you will likely get a blank stare back. no GOP proposal actually will help working-class folk afford uniformly exorbitant premiums.
