If you turn on CNN, you'll see that republicans are already moving on repealing Obamacare. Trump isn't even in office yet. >.<
So it begins.

The heart and soul of the affordable care act is denying insurance companies the right to deny preexisting conditions. Trump has maintained that this provision isn't going anywhere, so I'm pretty skeptical that there will be any meaningful changes.
Republicans mostly just want to save face with a win by relabeling the same policies, it's kind of absurd. There are ways they can improve things, I'm just not sure if the political will or competence is there anymore.
Allowing individuals to have Health Savings Accounts with catastrophic health insurance would be *amazing* for the middle class.
