Republicans disagreeing with Trumps attempt to remove Obama care
Obama Care profits have been improving, but many people are avoiding being on it due to the last eight months, there has been several attempts to repeal Obama care by the Trump administration.
The Health Insurance has had to warn customers about their possible price increase, or being unable to offer any type of plan. The insurers are unsure about the future of Obama Care, making providing health care difficult due to all the uncertainty there is now. The Congressional Budget has said that the price of Obama care will increase 15% because of all the confusion this year has brought to the insurance.
Republicans have many options, one is to make a new repeal plan for 2018 into the bill slated tax form, but that might be too difficult for them. An option Senator John McCain is considering is to come to a truce the repeal act, or to make Obama care function in a more effective way. As soon as sen. Lindsey Grahm spoke out about McCain's proposals, she quickly shut the idea down that there was no way they would keep Obama Care and make it more effective.
Questions for discussion:
1) Is Obama care helpful or not?
2) Do you agree repealing Obama care would be the best decision?
3) What should be proposed?

I think that there are very good things about Obama care, it provides health care for people who wouldn't have access to it otherwise. However, to does hurt the "middle man" as premiums go up, or people who loose their corporate private health insurance. President trump has been unable to come up with an alternate solution, so in my opinion they should work on reforming obama care instead of completely getting rid of it.
Congress needs to decide what they are going to do about the Affordable Care Act (or Obama Care) as soon as possible. Although the point of the current discussion is to improve health care in the US, the continually drawn out disagreement is actually very harmful to many already using Obama care, or those trying to get health care for themselves or their families. A 15% increase in prices is unbelievable and unacceptable. One of the major purposes of Obama Care was to make health care more accessible for families and people in tough situations. If Congress' actions continue to force health care prices up, some major changes need to be made on how they deal with this issue.
Obamacare has been helpful to many people who cannot afford healthcare on their own. It is important that they have access to some form of health care. Over 11 million people are covered under obamacare, so to take this form of insurance away would be a huge loss for many people. Many people don't like obamacare because it is too expensive, so finding a way to reduce the cost might possibly reduce the controversy surrounding obamacare.
