I fully support the repeal of the ACA, but allowing only 20 hours to read and analyze a bill of this size and magnitude is criminal. Our legislative process is a joke.

- mkempe 9y agoA proper way of repealing it would be a one-page document that states all Federal regulations of the healthcare insurance market are repealed, and States are barred from interfering with that market; with an annex listing which past laws are no longer in effect. A second page to void tax incentives or special treatment related to health insurance (so that employees and independents have access to the same health insurance options, at the same cost, and employers stop providing health insurance servitude as part of employment contracts) as well as abolish all subsidies and protections of the pharmaceutical + medical-device industries. The third page can specify how and when Medicare will be phased out. It should take at most 30 minutes for a layman to read and understand.
