Repeal and Replace [View all]

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Sure, sounds simple.

But, Realistically, would it even be possible to do this? Let's say you have 10 million people who have signed up. Each with differing plans, coverages, rates, companies, etc.

Would you tell them it's all canceled from X point forward?

Would you allow those 10 million to keep what they have?

Can you imagine the logistical nightmare of "re-covering" 10 million people? the Insurance companies would croak.

There's no way they could take away the pre-existing condition waivers.

There's no way they could take away the coverages up to 25 years old.

Just not politically expedient.

So, bottom line...the only thing I think they could do, realistically is to take away the provision that everyone had to buy insurance.

And, this would screw up the Insurance Co's since volume lowers rates.
