Don’t abandon the Affordable Care Act

I’ve been a Republican for all of my 83 years. However, I am pleased to see the Republican Party abandon its effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

Now, maybe sensible, intelligent individuals in both parties will stop wasting their time and my money and work together to improve the ACA. The ACA needs a lot of betterment and not abandonment.
