Not true.
The worst parts of Obamacare did not take effect until after the 2014 elections (four and a half years after it passed), and some of it doesn't go into effect until 2018.
If Obamacare were repealed with immediate effect, 2/3 of the hospitals in America would close within 90 days.
It is not going to happen that way.
Really? Maybe you'd care to explain/support this ridiculous claim?
Did you mean 2/3 of the closed hospitals would reopen if Obamacare was suddenly repealed?
That’s closer to reality.
True. I'm surprised at the number of people who, after all these years, don't understand what the ACA really is.
What are you talking about? The ACA had immediate effect on healthcare, all of it bad. Plans were gone in a flash, and costs rose in the same manner.
And what is this thing about two-thirds of hospitals closing? Hospitals have been closing while others opened up, but it’s been a net loss of such facilities.
The Dems snapped their fingers and voilà, Obamacare

Obamacare took a wrecking ball to each healthcare, hospital, and insurance systems. Pieces are missing - or misaligned - now.
2013 was the last chance for a relatively painless repeal.
The new DUMBOCARE DEA PAIN MED laws are harming those who have incurable diseases that leave a patient in constant pain that usually makes them unable to leave the house except doctor visits, many spend their days in bed with ice/heat packs. All he did was add a Pain Management doc and a big $300 co-pay 12 times a year to their medical care.
And the embarrassment of peeing in a bottle under supervision like a street junkie at 70+ yrs old or younger. These patients know they will never be totally pain free, but there is a BIG difference in a Level 9 and a Level 4 where you can semi function.
