That the gop views obamacare as a “quandary” and wants to figure out a way to subsidize it if it dies within the week tells you pretty much all you need to know about them.
You’re slandering the reputation of worthless douchebags by comparing them to the gop wing of the uniparty.
Looking at the two populations, we have those who didn't have healthcare insurance until the exchanges, and now get socked with higher costs. And then we have those who had plans and doctors they were happy with, and lost them. The latter is likely the more productive population in the middle class, and yet is the one being ignored by Republicans. The leadership is bending over backwards for the newly insured, and casting aside the responsible ones.
It's time to bite back.

Thoreau a ‘rat poster boy? He never voted, and went to jail for refusing to pay a poll tax.
Democrats created it (behind LOCKED doors), and they all voted for it without reading it. Not one Republican had ANYTHING to do with it, not ONE VOTE! If the Republicans accept grief on this then they are just Democrats in Republican cloth. What a bunch of traitors, whiners and LOSERS!
biting back? may feel good, accomplishes nothing. The main problems are not the ones who will lose.....
There is no quandary. Do the right thing. Let Obamacare die. Let it die now, effective the end of this year, so it’s old news by the time of the election, not that Obamacare’s death will cost the GOP any votes. The people who like being parasites will never vote for a conservative, so those who mind losing this terrible insurance are no big loss.

But you’re never going to repeal Obama Care without a Republican President and strong majorities in both houses of Congress (even then it may not happen - but it certainly will NOT happen under any other circumstance.)

Wasn’t that your entire point??????? Repeal????
Or was that another poster.
This would not have been a Republican problem had so-called “Leadership” been pro-active and stayed in front of the story. Again, the dems with the help of the media have framed the issue.
My original point was that this article was psyops designed to coerce Republicans into taking the action instead of letting the chips fall where they may.
Our immediate dialog pointed to two constituencies driving the actions of Republicans: those newly covered, and those thrown off of their previous coverage. I think you said that the former would not vote for Republicans, and I said that the latter were the Republicans' abandoned base. I then suggested that the abandoned base might retaliate against the Republicans who exchanged them for the newly covered, by noting for new representation.
You then asked what good would it accomplish, and that's where we strayed. Going down the sidetrack, I suggested targeting the lieutenants if the generals are protected, in order to make them pay for their disloyalty to their base.
But my original point was always to stay out of it and let the Democrats own it.
