Virginian-Pilot editorial: First, fix health care in America

Thirty-two percent of registered voters said economic issues is the top issue they consider when casting a vote, while 15 percent answered health care issues.

“I’m skeptical that they can do it, mainly because for seven years now, including when we first tried to pass health care, I said to them, ‘Okay, if this doesn’t work, tell me what does, ‘” he told Stephanopoulos. Pat Toomey, said the process to repeal Obamacare must begin because the individual health care market it failing.

THE FIRST principles of fixing the American medical system are still simple: Hold down costs and extend care to more people.

“I think everybody recognises that there will be a transition period”, Scalise said.

President Barack Obama says he’d be happy to get rid of Obamacare – if Republicans can replace it with something better. But now all their broken promises are catching up to them as they find themselves on the cusp of being empowered to make good on their “repeal and replace” mantra. “Right now, the GOP’s plan would put the insurance companies back in the driver’s seat and create chaos in the system instead of affordable care”, Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer said. The letter also details how the core components of the Republican health care plan pose serious threats to working people in America. It has been the defining feature of the Republican health care policy discussion ever since the ACA was passed almost seven years ago.

“People are finding that there’s a plan that fits their needs whether they are a single person, or you know, a family with children”, Grassrope said.

“We can not allow Republicans to make America sick again by repealing the ACA without a replacement plan”, said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who is trying to rally his caucus behind the law, in a statement.

He added, “We haven’t coalesced around a solution for six years, in part because it is so complicated”. “Let’s slow down, and talk about how to fix it, how to change it, how to replace it”.

The Affordable Care Act has led to a boom in Ohio’s health care industry, says Amy Rohling McGee, director of the nonprofit, nonpartisan, Health Policy Institute of Ohio. The students are concerned that a repeal of the ACA without a significant replacement would cause Americans to lose health insurance. More than a third of those said they would not want the law repealed after being told that some people with preexisting health problems would no longer be able to get insurance.

If marginal tax rates are reduced, he said he wants to see where revenues will be made up.

Dunstan, like many in attendance, are anxious about what will happen to people with pre-existing conditions if the repeal goes through.
