but then me and my family are not on ACA plan so it would be just like pre-ACA. But there was a period of time when I needed it for 6 months. So many people rely on the ACA. It was so hard to pass the first time so if it is repealed then it may take a decade before we have anything like that. Thousands of people will die and families devastated over that period of time. Worth sacrifice to save our democracy? Maybe, but there is no certainty it will help to get rid of trump. After all, it was his key promise so no one would be surprised.
