I think the millions of people insured under Obamacare are very nervous right now.
If they get rid of Obamacare, it can mean death to those who rely heavily on it to get healthcare and medication.
Personally I think when the government comes out with a better plan, and allow the people to choose to convert to the better healthcare plan, Obamacare will die a natural death.
As it is, the push to get rid of Obamacare without a healthcare reform is a punishment to the poor.
While Trump wants to prove that he can realize his election promises, he has to pay more attention to the plight of the poor who are not unemployed, cannot get employed, and are sick.
It will take time to find a better way, and people must be given a choice.
Lehigh Valley Congressman Charlie Dent says he'll vote against the Obamacare repeal bill, a decision he announced following a late-night meeting between House

@LadyDuck He really has not done anything right so far.
Instead of creating jobs, and doing something more constructive, all his actions are destructive in nature.
Even if Obamacare does not work very well in reality, there is no need to repeal it without a good alternative.
He could have set up a team to study it, and simplify it.

Maybe Trump just doesn't like the name "Obamacare" that is why he wants to get rid of it .....
We have here in Australia the 'Medicare' where everyone , rich or poor have access to.. But some who can afford , still join private health care.. Yes, people must be allowed to choose...

Good and Bad on both sides. The only problem is there is those stuck in the middle for yrs now anyways or those who make over $40,000 a yr getting Free Health care while there are many disabled on SSD who are told they make too much and others making $20,000 to $25,000 being told they make too much or having to pay out at least $500 a month before they can ever see a doctor. So in reality I do wish their was a better solution than this
