OK but apparently most of these people are folks who wanted insurance coverage and got screwed by Obamacare. Now they're going to get screwed again when it's repealed and they're left with nothing I think most of these folks were young and made a choice not to buy insurance because they didn't see value in it. Others who wanted insurance went without it because they figured they would rather spend their money on something else.
The ones who really, truly needed it but couldn't afford it already had a choice.....medicare or medicaid.
Obamacare was never about insurance. That's how it was sold. It was cover for massive tax increases and a blatant money grab by the fedgov.

there are ways to do it it think without disrupting the existing policy holders. The “If you Like Your Healthcare Plan You can Keep It” act should first off allow for the current insurance plans to become a defacto approved state plan in the state in which the person lives. That establishes minimum disruption to the people that signed up. Then establish state run high risk pools and begin to transition pre-existing conditions into those pool like is done with auto insurance. This should be allowed to be gradual over 2-3 years. everyone else then is free to go back to the plan they had. I think the Insco’s would have to be have some inventive to return to the other individual plans. Maybe just allowing individuals to sort it out with plans migh work. Also any of the fixes at the fed level are expired at some point with no possibility to extend.

How? If the insurance companies hadn't done away with the kind of policies they had then they wouldn't have had to go into the Obamacare jungle to begin with. What guarantee is there that the insurance companies will offer that kind of coverage again? Will the government compel them to?
Free, unfettered by Government control, enterprise will incentivize the insurance companies, just as it does everything else in the commerce world, just as it has done for centuries in the Insurance world.

A temporary condition at best.
The insurance ship will right itself quickly as there will be profit to be made.

I do wonder what will happen in the states that expanded medicare. Well, they'll either go bankrupt, or default to converting their version of MediCaid into a managed care/subsidized premium system that you could buy into.

What in the world are you talking about? You’re not making sense.
It seems you’re upset with and disagree with people being allowed to choose how to spend their own money... specifically it seems you disagree with the idea that people be allowed to spend their own health care dollars as they see fit.
just wow
