If everyone recalls, the current plan, the ACA, is essentially The Heritage Foundation's plan. In the committees that were held before the law was passed, the Democrats gave in to most of the republican's demands get their votes so in the end, the ACA is essentially the republican plan. It is a huge give away to the insurance companies. Still, the ACA did not receive one republican vote.

Why do you think rates are going up. It's because the insurance companies were expecting the ACA to go away and they wanted to hedge their bets by increasing every ones costs. The republicans can't come up with a new plan because they got all they wanted. So, the republicans have no where to go now except to do away with the ACA completely and go back to where we were eleven years ago. THAT, will be political suicide. The ACA is going nowhere. It will stay right where it is. When the Dems take back Congress and the Senate then the WH, they will not make the same mistake again. They will pass either universal healthcare or Medicare for all.
