I have a question please.

"As affordable as a cell phone bill..."
"Average family will save $2,500 a year..."
"If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor..."
"If you like your plan, you can keep your plan..."
yadda, yadda, yadda!
lies, lies, and damned lies!

The business mandate was never implemented as predicted.
Obamacare was legislated to be more difficult to disable the closer to 2017 it got.

By driving private health care coverage out of the market a "one payer" system would be the only answer, which was the original motivation in the first place.

Pelosi's interest was to replace the bankrupt California retirement system health coverage that was not sustainable with the ridiculous pensions being paid with lump sum disbursements.

The Liberals and their entitlement supporters bought it ... even though Gruber made fun of them for buying into their ponzi scheme.

What was not anticipated are court decisions and State's opting out ... not to mention the failure of the Liberals to APPOINT a puppet to take over the WH in 2016 ... the rest of the onion will now get peeled and the corruption and fraud revealed.

Just like the DNC emails that told the truth as they principals spoke to each other ... they Liberals will blame the messenger.

"Enrollment numbers" means nothing ... it does not distinguish from people who had insurance before ObaminableCare and lost it. Originally Posted by LexusLover

This analysis examined insurance transitions between September 2013 and February 2015, before and after the Affordable Care Act's coverage-related provisions took effect in 2014. It found that 22.8 million people gained coverage and that 5.9 million people lost coverage, for a net increase of 16.9 million people with insurance.

The second step is Monday, December 19th. The 3rd is early January 2017.

The 4th is around the end of January 2017.

Like AA ... it will be a 12-step program. So ... "get with the program"!

I suspect that the "main concern" for those with "disabilities" is perhaps a stricter review of "qualifying" for benefits ....

.. ether through legislation "tweaking" the standards for "a disability" or an administrative review process more focused on "fringe" applications where the disabilities reported are of questionable disabling conditions.

So, to answer the OP's question, The repeal and replace or repeal and delay of the ACA law has no effect on "disability rules" for being eligible to receive State Medicaid benefits in Texas.

The health insurance companies control which doctors are their networks not the ACA LAW. If the health insurance company took a doctor out of their network, they were trying to maximize profit and just being greedy.

Grandfather rules were put into the ACA law so people could keep their old plans. Again, the health insurance companies dropped the ball on this.

In South Florida, a teeming mix of retirees who may not have reached Medicare age, hotel and restaurant workers and recently arrived immigrants working for small, homegrown businesses has helped ensure robust enrollment in the subsidized plans offered through the marketplace. While the Republican leaders of the state have refused to expand Medicaid, individuals with annual incomes of about $12,000 to $47,500 qualify for subsidies that pay some or most of the cost.
Ninety-one percent of plan holders in Florida this year receive premium subsidies — a higher percentage than in any other state — and 71 percent also have reduced deductibles, a benefit available to people at or below 250 percent of the poverty level.
Some of them, like Ms. Carmeli, voted for Mr. Trump. She pays $45 toward her monthly premium, with a subsidy of about $600 covering the rest. She is looking at a new premium of $171 if she keeps her current plan, but she believes that she will find a more affordable option.

“I hope it still stays the same,” said Ms. Carmeli, 64, who has Crohn’s disease and relies on her insurance to cover frequent doctor’s appointments and an array of medications.
