The prospect of returning to junk health plans and undermining the hugely successful and beneficial ACA program is staggering. The outcomes studies on improvements in health measures across the country after the ACA fully settled in are compelling arguments for its success, particularly given the differences between the Medicaid expansion states and those who refused to do so. The positive impact to hospital bad debt also illustrated that the holistic improvements are widely shared and systemic. Why jeopardize that?

Merrill, I'm old enough to remember those Art Linkletter feel-good $100/day insurance plans. People bought them by the millions only to find that they were essentially worthless when needed to cover an inpatient hospitalization. Thanks for clarifying Trump's "concept of a plan."
