Does anyone "out there" know how overturning the Affordable Health Care Act will affect us old folks on Medicare? Not at all or very bigly?

    Medicare is not Obamacare.  Separate program altogether.  It will not affect it at all.

    Separate program altogether---Umm, not exactly

    The 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA) included many provisions affecting the Medicare program and the 57 million seniors and people with disabilities who rely on Medicare for their health insurance coverage. This post was edited by tom jackson at October 28, 2020 1:23 AM MDT

    It may have affected it. But the cancellation of the AFA will in no way cancel Medicare which has been around long before AFA. 
    Just as if a city decides to remove a stop light from a street intersection and return to a stop sign. While the light affected the traffic on the intersection. The removal of the light will not remove the intersection or the streets or prevent traffic from using the intersection. This post was edited by my2cents at October 28, 2020 6:20 AM MDT
