Rep. Grijalva is having a Town Hall meeting on health care. Of course the discussion will be on the current Republican proposals in the House and Senate to Repeal/Replace the ACA, aka Obamacare. Many, esp. Democrats, are against the proposals. But what are Grijalva's answers to the failing ACA? Many big insurers have left the Exchanges because of losing money as not as many heathy people have enrolled into the ACA as expected to offset costs of the sick. There are now limited doctor and hospital choices here in AZ, annual deductibles under the ACA plans are too expensive, i.e. $6500 for a family under the middle Silver plan, Medicaid expansion is costing $billions more annually than the CBO originally projected in 2010, etc. Grijalva may suggest a Single payer plan, but a study showed that costing $35 trillion over 10 years. Rep. Grijalva, what are your answers?
