When The Alternative Is Even Worse
-
The Congressional Budget Office says that if Obamacare is repealed without an immediate replacement in full effect, it'll raise premiums 20% and leave 18 million uninsured. That may be an unfair analysis because Republicans insist they WILL have a replacement, but they haven't decided on that yet, and polls are showing the public increasingly protective of Obamacare, though I suspect that if you call it the Affordable Care Act and not Obamacare, even more would want to preserve it. Anyway, we're heading towards a cliff with insurance, and your listeners are deathly afraid of repeal-and-replace if "replace" means gutting their protections. (Los Angeles Times)
