Trump fails to understand that perception is reality in terms of political failure. He keeps repeating that letting obamacare "explode" is good for him politically. It is not. Even if Obamacare was always going to collapse it is not politically expedient for Trump to allow this forthcoming disaster to become reality while he is the president. Even if his name is not on it.
It's really simple.
Obamacare was designed to gut the coverage of middle class workers by raising their premiums while also introducing crazy deductibles to their coverage. Also young people who were the least likely to use medical services were given raised premiums with big deductibles for services they were unlikely to use. Buying health insurance was made mandatory. So essentially it meant that young insureds and middle class insureds (heck throw in wealthy insureds) were now expected to pay higher premiums for less coverage. Coverage that would only apply in catastrophic circumstances.
Why were working class Americans' policies structured in such a way? To accommodate and pay for all the underclass who previously had no insurance but were encouraged to sign up for Obamacare. 20 million of them who previously only used emergency wards for emergency care. Now they were encouraged to bathe themselves in free care with no limitation.
How was that fair to the working class who were essentially paying for them (the underclass) but were themselves expected to pay for their first $5, 000 or $10,000 of annual care (their Obamacare deductibles)?
So now that the non paying outliers are completely immersed in the medical system at the cost of the working people, how does one get back to premiums for the working class that even approach affordable?
Add in soaring, unchecked medical costs for drugs and procedures, burgeoning lawsuits by unscrupulous patients and lawyers, and you have today's medical mess.
THERE IS NO CURE without coverages for the nonpayers being scaled back.
Democrats AND Republicans need to get together, put their special interests aside and decide on affordability for Americans who pay first, and those who don't second. Otherwise the whole damned thing is going to collapse.
Obama should have never invited all nonpayers into the system for carte blanche services while the payers have to go without because they cannot afford the services they need that are not covered by their huge deductibles, although their premiums are higher than ever.
But unsustainable costs never meant anything to Obama and his ilk, as long as his base had their free services expanded. He never gave a rats ass about the middle class. Nothing pisses me off more than when I heard him and his acolyte, Elizabeth Warren, talk about the things they are/ were doing for the middle class. Bullshit.
Some one please tell me how this crap is now supposed to be fixed. It can't be without taking all the nonpayers off the rolls again. THAT will never happen.
So when Republicans wanted to repeal Obamacare they had about a year to get it done. Seven years later the clusterfuck is part of the government landscape. They should have shut up six years ago.

hahaha, some people accomplish things in life, other people become democratic politicians
there's a reason why 1,050 democratic politicians joined all those other democrats in the unemployment line, they suck at everything
some people embrace suck, success is too complicated for them (and far too much work)
Paul Ryan Is Solely To Blame For RyanCare's Demise
Ryan's team repeatedly fumbled the ball, diluted the free-market message they should have been selling, and lost sight of the point of repealing ObamaCare — which was to bring down insurance costs for millions of middle class families who've seen their premiums skyrocket and their benefits diminish under ObamaCare.
The culmination of all this was a misbegotten bill that was far less free-market than Ryan's "Better Way" blueprint issued over the summer, and that kept in place the very regulations and mandates that were causing ObamaCare to fail in the first place.

Work together with Dems? On what, imposing state-run healthcare on free people?
Let it collapse, it will serve them right. Republicans should have no part in this Democrat-engineered disaster.
Oh, and if you really want to help "fix healthcare" first try enrolling in Supply and Demand 101.
WE TOLD YOU SO!
