The ACA is labeled as a democratic victory, but Americans depend on and like the ACA. I and my family do too. My premiums are lower under ACA than they are on the open market. Same plan, less money. I don't want the ACA repealed or replaced just to satisfy someone else's vindictiveness to democrats, specifically Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and president Barack Obama.
