Americans fear losing Obamacare, but want it to change

Almost 50 million Americans were going without health insurance for one of two reasons: they just couldn’t afford it or they weren’t allowed to purchase it because of insurance companies’ rules around pre-existing conditions.

Any plan that replaces the Affordable Care Act must assist the Granite State in its fight against opioids, she said. Among the doctors, no Democrats want complete repeal, compared with 32% of Republicans and almost 38% of those who voted for President Donald Trump.

The vast media coverage on the high premiums and deductibles of Obamacare have led many people, mostly middle class Americans who are not extremely wealthy but not eligible for subsidies, to question the affordability of the ACA. How dare you tell me that you have no obligation to pay your share?
