Basically The Entire Health Care System Hates The New Obamacare Repeal Bill

Basically The Entire Health Care System Hates The New Obamacare Repeal Bill
Groups representing doctors, hospitals, nursing homes, insurance companies and more are lined up against the GOP bill.

The latest Senate Republican attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act and enact sweeping reforms to the American health care system has generated intense opposition from the very health care providers, patient groups and insurance companies that would be forced to adapt to the changes envisioned by the legislation.

ACA was a compromise with lots of different sources..

1. The insurance industry itself
2. The Republicans
3. The Democrats
4. Obama and his team..(they wanted a stronger version if I recall)
5. State Governments had input
6 and it was similar to a successful program in Mass. by Romney...
7. Many non profit groups ..such as the listed in the original post.....had input..
8. Many other facets of the health care industry, (hospitals, doctors, nurses, administrators, etc.)

ACA was a compromise..main vote in House of Representative...passed by 3 votes..217 to 214..

I remember watching that...there is only one reason they want to destroy this...what people call it...
Obamacare....always that..and .....Obamacare has saved thousands of lives.

no, I don't know how many..I know the number is in the thousands.(probably tens of thousands)..and so does everyone else..
