I didn't personally vote for Trump or the Congressmen and Congresswomen that are supporting the current American Healthcare Act. I did vote for the ones that created the ACA (Obamacare) mess -- I have both benefited medically and suffered financially from that mess.
If you mean why the American people elected "them" the American people are not that smart I guess as a group.

Code:
New taxes (paid by all);
Business sales 12.00% VAT Food,rent,prescriptions exempt
Stock and equities 0.65% Transfer Tax withholding
Est land & improvements 0.15% Property Tax by tax assessor
Under these circumstances you could eliminate Obamacare and have a chance of success.
Rich guy buys a Porsche or a Bentley he pays the VAT on it
If you trade $5 million a day and close your positions you pay the transfer tax
If the common man buys a new chair for his house he pays the VAT on it or buys a new toaster, iPhone ... etc
Benefit to the economy;
$700 - $800 Billion in canceled private payer insurance policies
Savings of $200 billion with a 10% decrease in one payer administrative costs with a forced gain of 15% in heathcare delivery efficiency.
If the government wants to give me a $300K grant, I can further research the numbers I used and make a nice white paper for them to read -- if not, those shitheads can figure this out themselves if they really want to.
The point is; they want to redistribute costs to those least able to afford them -- common and lesser citizens.
The best thing they could do at this point is make basic healthcare private payer insurance illegal -- but they don't have that power. One reason is because this healthcare private payer insurance system is regulated by the individual states. Notwithstanding Medicare payment allowances to providers.
Oddly enough, by allowing intrastate insurance competition -- the federal government can regulate insurance carriers in interstate commerce.
