The more logical path of introducing legislation to fix some of the known issues in the ACA will not even be explored, partly because of a hatred of anything Obama, and partly because of an ideology that believes that the federal government should have no role in the provision of health care. Never mind that every other developed country in the world has a robust government program to guarantee health care to its citizens. In the best case scenario, some of the benefits of the ACA will be retained in a new program. But I fear that the more extreme Republicans will succeed in killing the program altogether.
