Total disaster. Any state with a Democratic government would repass it on the state level, still millions would lose their health insurance and thousands would die directly attributable deaths.

Also, only a few pages of the 3,000+ in the law are controversial, so a whole lot of administrative things would suddenly be gone without any obvious path forward.

The Republicans would get wiped out electorally and we'd probably end up with Medicare for all or single payer.

That's possible, but certainly no guarantee. We all thought Republicans would get wiped out electorally if they nominated Trump.

And even if it all works out in the long run, it sure sucks for the tens of thousands of people whose lives take serious turn for the worse (up to and including death).
