The affordable health care act enabled young adults to stay on their parents' health care plan until they are 26. Last month the house voted to undo this in their 33rd attempt to derail the widely popular law.
I saw widely popular and some of you are ready to rage. Everyone hates it you say. Well, that's not entirely true. If you ask people if they support the individual elements of the law, it gets wide support. Yet as a whole, if you ask if they support the law itself, some say they are against it.
This makes no sense at all. Republicans claim they want to repeal and replace the law but will not say what they would replace it with. I can understand they don't want to give specifics. But no details at all? None.
We live in a country where we elect people to enact laws and run the country in accordance with a set of rules. Those set of rules allowed the Affordable Healthcare act to become law. As it was created so can it be undone. If there is political will to do it then move forward. But at least have the decency to say at a high level what you are going to do to replace these very excellent parts of the law.
