Jul 28, 2017 at 19:24 comment added DCook @user4012 That was said during a committee meeting when it needed to be moved to the next vote quickly. But the ACA had over a year of hearings and hundreds of amendments. Any of those politicians could have taken the time to read it if they wanted. Unlike the GOP bill which was crafted behind closed doors or during a lunch break.

Jun 23, 2017 at 0:12 comment added user1530 Semantics, I suppose, but there really isn't a way to 'partially repeal' it in practice. It's a fragile thing to begin with so getting rid of any one pillar (pre-existing conditions, individual mandate, etc.) pretty much dooms it.
Jun 22, 2017 at 23:32 comment added Keshav Srinivasan @blip Well, even the House bill doesn't totally repeal Obamacare, it's only a partial repeal. And from what I understand, the Senate bill doesn't go quite as far in repeal as the House bill; that's why so many Tea Party Republicans are opposing the Senate bill. So given that the House bill didn't take us completely "back to the way it was" pre-ACA on pre-existing conditions, I assume the Senate bill won't either. It will either keep Obamacare's protection completely or it will only partially remove the protection.
Jun 22, 2017 at 23:18 comment added user1530 I'm guessing this won't be answerable for a while until someone reads the entire bill and thoroughly reports on the contents. From what I've been able to read thus far today, this is just basically a dismantling of the ACA in general. Back to the way it was.
