Obama care repeal and replace Urza Send a noteboard - 07/03/2017 12:33:18 AM

So it looks like tonight the house republicans have revealed a new bill to repeal and replace Obamacare.

Personally I'm of the mind that there really isn't any good option with health care just options that suck for different reasons but looking at the rising cost of insurance it seems apparent to me that Obama care was sucking a little more than most.

How do we all feel about this new bill? Has anyone taken the time yet to read and understand what exactly is being proposed?

I'd love to hear thoughts both on the new bill and your thoughts on the best bet for managing health care policy in general
