There are a lot of people with sore behinds. Myself included, who voted for Bernie in the primary and Clinton in the general because I thought they were better candidates than anything the GOP could produce. Also including people who stood down during the election because they couldn't vote for either. Many of those woke to a Trump president and were disappointed too.
Do you really think that Trump is going to do a better job at containing healthcare cost increases and bring forward a better deal than the ACA? 20 million people have healthcare coverage that did not in 2008. Scrapping the ACA will cut them loose.
The only firm proposal out there regarding health care is from Paul Ryan, who is proposing
privatizing medicare. Just the opposite of what Bernie or even Clinton supported. Ryan's plan for prosperity or some such named legislation would cap govt. medicare spending where it is right now and shove seniors from the government run program with vouchers for private insurance that only partially cover purchase price of medical coverage from the private sector. No thought is given to containing costs in this program unlike the tangible cost savings that were made under the ACA. The average senior will pay 8000 per year more for health care coverage under Ryan's plan than any other proposal to simply address funding shortfalls for Medicare. Cost controls implemented under the ACA reduced medicare funding issues too. The whole system was working better. But people see price rises and claim failure. I understand this but am disappointed that people don't dig a little further into the reasons why.
Those price rises for coverage were due to GOP congress's failure to fund the ACA as spelled out in the original legislation. If interested,

I'd prefer a government run single payer system too. I saw the ACA as a path toward that, not as an end in itself. Doesn't look like that's going to happen.
