I am of the mind to let the ACA remain the law and let what happens with it, happen. I heard on the news today that Knoxville TN and the surrounding 15 will have no insurance companies next year that offers insurance through the ACA. If true, when stuff like this begins to happens, do you think the public will continue to support the ACA?

Trumpcare or Obamacare lite, what a waste of time and energy. Most Americans are against repeal and replace. I think the Republicans ought to just forget it and let the ACA continue as best it can where it can. Nine states will be down to one insurance company next year that offers plans through the ACA, Iowa may be exactly like Knoxville, no plans available through the ACA. Just let it be.

The AHCA does apply to Congress. Why would you say such a thing? Also, "congress, house and senate" is redundant. Congress is the House and Senate.

Looks like serious anger issues to me. I hope you get better so you don't end up one of the 25. :)

No, the plan just passed by the GOP, pre-existing coverage stays for members of Congress. Unlike the public who may get this crappy care, Congress has that safety net of their pre-existing conditions being covered. I'm not one of the 25, my healthcare is fine.

Really... did you the entire nation of Canada has less MRI's available than the city of Pittsburgh?
That's scarcity.

What's the affect of this imagined scarcity between two different places with different population densities and medical systems? Do you know? It's zero. We have the same life expectancy and THEY pay less for it and include everyone. Comparing the US to Canada and talking about MRIs is like comparing Las Vegas to Vatican City and talking about whores. MRI scans are frequently pushed on to patients for no good reason in the US but, either way, it's a diagnostic tool, not a magical cure-all. Our system, after all, like a whorehouse, is for profit, not health, and that's not just the sad truth, it's the way the right likes it.

M'am, you couldn't be more wrong if you tried. Really.

France, the UK.. pretty much every Single Payer system has high waits, low access to care and innovation.
You might think that's a good deal, but I reject it flat out.

Sigh... No they are not exempt. May I suggest expanding your sources to something beyond only reading those that confirm what you already want to believe.

House Unanimously Passes McSally Bill Striking AHCA Exemptions for Members of Congress

“Any law we pass that applies to our constituents must apply equally to Members of Congress as well. Anything short of that is hypocrisy. Congress must abide by the laws it passes and should be treated no differently than other hardworking Americans,” said Rep. McSally. “My measure eliminates double standards by preventing Members of Congress from exempting themselves from American Health Care Act.”

If you want to pay twice as much to live NO longer, then the problem here isn't wait times, it's that you have too much money.
