the actual people of the United States.

me driving home, when I heard that Trump said, let the ACA fail, was WTF - we have a president
of the country who doesn't give a flying flip about 11.3 million people. And, who has zero intellectual capacity to even think - what about those people? Would they be covered? Will they die?

Let them eat cake President.

So the tangible consequences would happen 2 years from the imiginary repeal.

Things can't ramp up or down immediately (remember the added delay of a year, after several years of planning, for the merged drug/medical cap - that cost me personally about $6,000 because our family always hits the out-of-pocket cap, and pharmacies were permitted to go an additional year being uncapped?). That means chaos at the unpredictability of what the rules would be in 2 years would begin, and ramp up as it becomes clear that even two years is far too short for the jerks to create a replacement plan.

of saying you repealed is just hideously wrong.

Repealing ACA was always just a code for "We agree with you, why the hell should we help less fortunate people be able to see a doctor." That's where they got caught - they never wanted to replace - but then Trump came along bragging about how it would be easy and he would deliver a masterful plan. OOPs - they believed him. What did he deliver, nada.

If Trump believes he is so brilliant. Why not roll up his shirtsleeves and really figure it out? He built a business empire - albeit on shirking debt and non-disclosures and out-lawyering everyone. But, he must have some smarts. The media, if they ever get to talk to him again - should ask - why did you say you had a brilliant plan. A Dems thinking about running should put that one on the note pad.

of the many attempts at repeal, which Republicans passed and Obama veto-ed.
