If Obamacare is repealed, Congress must use whatever they replace it with.

If Obamacare is repealed, Congress must use whatever they replace it with.

The Issue

If  Congress repeals the  ACA, every member must then be on the exact same system as ordinary Americans who do not have their insurance provided by an employer.  As their employer, I do not have the money to provide gold standard health care to a bunch of millionaires.  I am a self employed American  who has had to buy her own insurance for years.  Before the ACA, I paid a lot for catastrophic insurance that provided almost no benefits; I still paid for almost everything out of pocket.  Now, for the past few years, I've had good insurance at a price I could afford. If Congress takes this, and the many other benefits away, then they should lose these benefits as well and have to buy their own insurance with 100% of their own money in the open marketplace they love so much.  If there is to be no government assistance in delivering American citizens'  health care, there should be none for them.
