Wall Street Cheat Sheet has a very good summary of all Republican ‘proposals’ to replace Obamacare with something:

The Patient Choice, Affordability, Responsibility, and Empowerment Act is strongly reliant on market competition, with notable differences from Obamacare; it would likely cover fewer uninsured Americans, increase premiums for many older adults, shrink Medicaid, decrease subsidies for middle class Americans, scale back protections for people with preexisting conditions, and allow private insurers to escape many of the consumer-friendly requirements imposed on them by Obamacare.

Oh boy, that sounds soooooo poopular!!!

Status quo bias now works in our favor.
