The American Nurses Association has denounced the Republican
House plan to repeal and replace Obamacare, saying it “does not improve care
for the American people.” The ANA is the largest organization of health care
professionals in the United States with a record of being vocal about health care
issues.

In addition, the AARP strongly opposes it because it would
hurt senior citizens – the people who need it most – and a recent Monmouth
University poll shows that even a majority of average Americans want to keep
the Affordable Care Act in some manner.
Results of the poll show that 51% of those surveyed said
they would prefer to keep and improve the ACA and another 7% said they wanted
to keep the health care law as is.
Comparatively, only 31% of people wanted ACA repealed with a
replacement and another 8% wanted the law repealed without a replacement.
So let’s recap:
Pro – wealthy Republican legislators who get free health
insurance for themselves.
Con – doctors, nurses, hospitals, senior citizens and a
majority of voters.
Pro – politicians who represent lobbyists and rich donors instead
of the people who elected them.
Con – non-partisan organizations that represent the very health
care industry you’re allegedly trying to “fix” and the people (as in “voters”) who
use those services.
Pro?
Con?
What’s wrong with this picture?
