It would be better to leave Obamacare in place and let it die on its own course than pass this joke of a replacement plan. GOP will lose the House and Senate in the midterms if they continue with this garbage.
Shockingly, it's a lot harder to govern than it is to say no to everything. I bet a lot of conservatives were secretly pissed that Trump won the election. They have both houses of Congress, the presidency and will soon have the Supreme Court as well. They have no more excuses left.

I read an article on zerohedge about it, and according to them it starts interstate competition and medical malpractice reform can't be passed under the reconciliation process, so those would have to be separate bills.

A breakdown of core aspects removed from the existing law (courtesy of Axios): All Obamacare taxes All Obamacare subsidies, including its premium tax credit Individual, employer mandate penalties "Cadillac tax" No longer will limit the tax break for employer-sponsored health coverage No payments to insurers for cost-sharing reductions Selling insurance across state lines (can't be done in the "reconciliation" bill) Medical malpractice reform (can't be done in the "reconciliation" bill) What is being added: Pre-existing condition coverage Continuous coverage — 30 percent penalty if people don't keep themselves insured Special fund to help states set up "high-risk" pools, fix their insurance markets, or help low-income patients Enrollment in expanded Medicaid will be frozen Current enrollees can stay until 2020, and keep getting extra federal funds, until they leave the program on their own Medicaid will change to "per capita caps" (funding limits for each person) in fiscal year 2020 A new, refundable tax credit will be available in 2020 to help people buy health insurance Covers five age groups — starts at $2,000 for people in their 20s, increases to $4,000 for people in their 60s It's not means tested, but phased out for upper-income people (starting at $75,000 for individuals, $150,000 for families) Insurers can charge older customers five times as much as young adults
