According to the group’s calculations, the revenue losses would be driven by rolling back tax increases on the wealthy. About half of the $800 billion in revenue losses would come from payroll and investments surtaxes on wages and income above $200,000 -- a tax windfall that very few Americans could take advantage of after a repeal. Another quarter of the revenue losses would come from repealing fees on insurers, medical-device companies and drugmakers.

OK, so some tax increases on wealthy people will be rolled back. We should be taxing those bastards back to the stone age, so that's a negative. But fees on insurers, medical device companies, and drug companies? C'mon. Those "fees" are being passed on to the consumer in the form of higher prices. Obamacare is a big windfall cash cow for all the gougers in the Medical Industrial Complex. They are all making too damned much money. And they are greedy and want more. That's the problem and Obamacare does nothing to change that.
All Trump has to do is one thing that he proposed about healthcare and he will have accomplished more for Healthcare than Obummer did in his entire time in office. And that is to allow Medicare to negotiate the price of drugs.
