Obamacare Creators Tell GOP: We Told You So



Over the primaries and the debates Trump's constant talk of Obamacare was repeal and replace it. However, President Donald Trump said last week that "nobody knew that health care could be so complicated." With this statement it brings into question whether or not Trump will try to still repeal this. Obamacare's goal was to give Americans affordable, quality health insurance and to reduce the growth in US health care system. Although these goals are sound good, in practice there has been flaws with Obamacare. Obamacare has been very costly and expensive to the budget, medication is very expensive to, and some people have lost their current healthcare providers. Trump still appears to repeal Obamacare, but there has not been a clear plan of what he will replace it with

1. Should we keep Obamacare and make no changes to it?

2. If changed, what do you believe Trump will change it with?

3. Will there be a way to bridge the gap between Democrats and Republicans with health care?

  1. I believe that we should keep Obamacare for now simply because we do not have any other solid healthcare plans. If Trump were to change it, I would bet that nothing structurally would change but he would make sure to put his name on it instead.

  2. I agree with Mikey, I think we should keep Obamacare for now and somehow make it more affordable and more widely used because right now not many health providers allow patients to use Obamacare. I think Trump doesn't realize how complicated healthcare is, but he knows that we need it, so I think he may come up with some way to change it but most likely he'll get rid of it. I don't think there is any way to bridge the gap between Democrats and Republicans with healthcare because they have widely different views on it.

  3. I think we should keep Obamacare and too just leave it the way it is, if it ain't broken then don't try to fix it. If it were changed who knows what trump might do with it.

  4. Until we see something better, I think Obamacare should stay.

  5. I think we should keep Obamacare because it is very unsure as to what Trump would change it to because I have not heard much talk about what the plans are. I am also unsure what Trump plans to change it with because he only found out what Obamacare was until after he was president. I would hope that there would be a bridge to connect the Democratic and Republican parties, but am not sure if it is possible.

  6. I think Obama care should stay but there should be some small changes that will make it more affordable for other Americans because even now Obamacare is to expensive to most so therefore should be made cheaper.

  8. I think Obama care would be best with no changes, Perhaps trump wants to make Obama care less expensive and less inclusive I dont think there will be agreement over Obama care for a long time.

  9. Obama care has worked out for many families, so there should be no changes. Trump will ruin Obama care because he has stated when campaigning that he would completely get rid of it.

  10. I think Obamacare should remain for now until there is a better solution to it. It will be very difficult to find an alternate solution for Obamacare that will make everyone happy.

  11. I think Obama care should be kept because its important for people to have health care. I do no think trump will come up with a better health plan because he hasn't talked too much about it.

  12. I think we should keep Obamacare, but the biggest change we need to make is to make it more affordable. There are definitely problems with it that need to be changed.

  13. Obamacare should remain for now, because it will be a blow to many people.

  14. we should keep obamacare and continue to add to it but this seems unlikely. If Trump creates an alternative I expect it to be significantly worse.

  15. 'nobody knew that healthcare could be so complicated' is one of the least intelligent things you can say. of COURSE its complicated. if everything was simple, wouldnt we have solved it already????? removing something without a plan for replacement is just reckless and irresposible

  16. I think we should keep Obamacare and continue to add onto it because it is a good thing that helps our society. I think he will change it to his version of it. It is very unlikely to make a bridge between Republicans and Democrats.

  17. I think that the idea of Obamacare was good however the way that they went about it wasn't. I hear from differently people all the time that they hate it so I feel like it's something that we need to continue to fix until it's close to being perfect. I think he's just going to try and fix everything that people currently hate about it. With Trump in office, I think it's going to be near impossible for the bridge between the Republicans and Democrats to close.

  18. I believe that they should keep obamacare just because it helped so many people that were struggling. He will try to make it easier for the upper class to deal with it. I really think it will be a while till they will come together.

  19. Obama care has helped many families and rather then changing it we should just make it better by finding a plan for everyone.

  20. I do not think that Obamacare should be removed. It has helped so many people whom do not have great insure. Therefore, I believe that the solution would be to enhance and better the system

  21. I also agree that Obamacare needs to stay because there would not be a bnack up plan that would be succesful.

  22. i think that Obamacare should stay. It's helped so many families across the nation, however they should find ways to make it more affordable to the people.
