How was it better? Name three good things about Obamacare.

1) No longer allowing insurance companies to deny someone based on a pre-existing condition.
2) Removing lifetime insurance caps.
3) Ensuring that pre-natal care is covered by insurance.
4) Making birth control more accessible.
5) Preventing insurance company execs from taking excessive tax breaks on their bonuses.
6) Expanded Medicaid, providing insurance for millions who previously didn't have it.
The ACA is far, far from perfect. It needs to be fixed.
That said, the Republican replacement--this is a GOP replacement, make sure Trump doesn't get all the credit/blame for this, the entire GOP is responsible for this disaster--is a massive step in the wrong direction.
