It wasn't terrible but it was what could get passed.  After it passed there were adjustments that were needed but the GOP was scoring points for voting to repeal it instead of making the necessary adjustments.  The problems were further exacerbated by Trump threatening to withhold payments necessary to keep the markets stable.  The GOP in Washington is still being irresponsible and that includes Coffman, Gardner and Tipton. Meanwhile you have Hick and Ohio Gov. Kasich who are acting responsibly putting fourth a bill to help with the problems.  It's important to note that even with the fixes it won't be free and won't be perfect, but it will be better than what we have now and better than what came before when if you were sick or old you just couldn't get coverage outside of an employer policy.
