Majority Leader Mitch McConnell signaled the Senate would move swiftly to repeal Obamacare now that the GOP Congress will have a Republican president next year.

"It's pretty high on our agenda as you know," the Kentucky Republican said on Wednesday. "I would be shocked if we didn't move forward and keep our commitment to the American people."

What would this mean for someone who is looking at tax penalties for not having insurance?

Score. But we need to repeal and fix some problems. We need to help people that get sick.

It would depend on what the effect of the repeal is and its effective date. No one could tell you at this point.

Repeal is easy. That's just a return to pre 2006 republicanism. What trump needs to do is demand a viable replacement that actually works. Otherwise in 2020 we'll get single payer democrats.

Yeah, the question is do they just repeal it or do they try and replace it.

Full free-market healthcare with a short grace period for pre-existing conditions. Fair trade-off for insurance companies.

I heard this morning they already have a plan in place.

Basically a transition plan from ACA at first, until they can enact the whole new plan

Love it. We were teetering on a cliff with an impending government takeover of health insurance. Great news.

I just find it interesting since the penalty was a big scare tactic and now that the ACA is seemingly fighting for its life if they go through with that promise.

Our Gary Johnson crew would tell you to outlaw insurance. They might actually be right, too.
