I haven't seen anyone say they support they bill based on substantive reasons. I don't know if that's because of a lack of good reporting or if nobody really knows what's in it.
Like does anyone read that a two month lapse in insurance will result in a mandatory 30% increase say "that's why I like this!" or does anyone see the provision about pre-existing conditions no longer necessarily requiring coverage and think "this is what we needed to be doing!"
If you say you support this bill, I'd like to hear a substantive reason on the bill's own merits other than "it's not that commie Obummercare crap!"
Even if the ACA hasn't been a perfect piece of legislation, those in favor of it passing thought decreasing the number of insured, even if it drove costs up, was worth it and enjoyed the increased protections for those with pre-existing conditions.
What is something that people like about this bill that causes them to support it on its own?
The most powerful congressman in New Jersey, Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen, wrote a fundraising letter in March to a board member of a local bank, warning him that a member of an activist group opposing the Republican worked at his bank.
The employee was questioned and criticized for her involvement in NJ 11th for Change, a group that formed after the election of Donald Trump and has been pressuring Frelinghuysen to meet with constituents in his district and oppose the Trump agenda.
Well, premiums for most people will go down likely. once you're out of your twenties this will probably be important to you.

Yeah I doubt this is the case. If you are healthy and under 50 then sure. That's not most people though.

He's bailing to avoid making a tough decision.
Utah will hold a special election. Gotta wonder if Evan McMullin will run on an anti-Trump platform. He got 21% of the Presidential vote statewide.
I'd say most people are healthy and under 50. We have medicare for the olds, and medicare is quite good insurance.
I would love to see some stats to back this up. Can you begin by defining "healthy"?
I had cancer when I was a baby but am healthy now, do I qualify as healthy? I think it would depend on the definition, and "pre-existing conditions" continues to rear its ugly head as far as how I am viewed as "high risk" because I had cancer before.
"Healthy" very much differs between how we would commonly use it vs. healthcare providers/insurance companies would use it.
