When is a repeal not a repeal? When the Senate does it with Obamacare. They’re going to leave it there for years until they adopt something that will be as bad or worse.

You ain't been paying attention. Anyone that thiks about it knows you can't pull the table cloth out in one "woosh" w/o putting a replacement in effect. It will have to be phased to keep the Left from screaming in agony and parading all them that "lost their superb plans" out to "prove" that trump hates the little folks. He has a plan and he doesn't back down.

I know a brief and easy activity to help get your mind in the right mode:

Why not?

The left are going to scream anyway. Once the repeal is announced then insurance companies are going to bail from the exchanges as fast as they can since there is no way they can make money without the Obamacare protections, so why delay the inevitable? We will almost certainly face 2018 without any coverage for those who were on Obamacare, and with whatever excuse for a replacement a year or two or three away. So why prolong the agony? Make a quick, clean break and let the market sort itself out. The short term pain will be more than offset by the long term gain of having the government out of the health care insurance business.
