Fully repealing Obamacare will cost $350 billion - 3 views

Josh C. on 04 Jan 17A full repeal of Obamacare would cost $350 billion over the next decade, according to a new analysis from the bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. This makes its wholesale dismantling much more complicated. Obamacare was carefully crafted in 2010 so that it didn't add to the federal deficit -- in fact, it boosted revenues slightly.

Matthew E on 04 Jan 17Of course this would cost so much because the money is in people's hands and getting it back, well that is hard. And with trumps new ideas this will cause some commotion with people. And with this it would cause an even bigger problem because he may be forgetting that we are still in debt.

mckenzie spanjer on 04 Jan 17Would it cause more problems if we did repeal Obamacare instead of not repealing it?

savannah131999 on 04 Jan 17I personally don't think that it's worth all the loss of money, I think it's good to provide healthcare to those that can't afford to pay for it, and our country that's a large majority of our people. Although we should also look at whether or not it's costing more to keep it or to repeal it.

russellboi on 18 Jan 17This seems like a good example of how Obamacare is viewed as a lot worse that it really is, how it supposedly is, "A waste of money," and, "Costing us more that it's worth." But there was actually some economic and political genius that went into forming the system, and it would be a poor decision to repeal it.

daulton wilcoxen on 18 Jan 17If we were to repeal Obama Care, it would hurt the country indefinitely, because of all the people who are on it, and the sheer cost of money would ruin the country, were already trillions of dollars in debt, so another $350 billion would not be doing any good. Now taking small actions to take some of it away would be a more suitable approach.

kim bagshaw on 18 Jan 17The problem with Obamacare is that it really hurts the hospitals, they have to manage money differently, meaning they have to cut peoples jobs and different programs because they can't afford to have it anymore. Which in the end will hurt the patients more because how are they supposed to get help if theirs not enough people working there to help them. I don't believe that cutting the whole thing is right, however i think that that Obamacare does need to have some changes.
