Trump and ObamaCare

The Trump administration promised it would dismantle the ACA (ObamaCare) and encourage Congress to repeal it.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. It should never have been passed in the first place and it has been a disaster ever since, affecting many lives negatively, including mine. However, it appears the Republicans feel obligated to “replace it” with some other government program — not sure what they have in mind.

But I would strongly recommend that they don’t replace it all. Just let this be returned to the free market, where natural forces of competition take care of affordability and coverage. No one has a right to medical care anyway. This is something that must be earned by individual effort and careful shopping. The government surely is not obligated to provide it, as that is not its proper role.
