Less than three weeks out from leaving the White House, Obama visited Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill with a mission to save his signature healthcare reform law as Republicans are moving quickly to unroll the Affordable Care Act.

In the closed-door meeting, the President urged fellow Democrats to not "rescue" Republicans by helping them pass replacement measures, according to sources in the room.

Obviously, his legacy is far more important than the well being of The American People, as if that was ever in doubt.

Perfect. Whatever replaces Obamacare has to be better for the country and he just sealed his legacy as a big ZERO

They’re all up for re-election in two years, Barky.

You’re not.

Help Republicans. To help or hurt Republicans on this issue, Democrats are as useless as teats on a boar hog.

Did he advise the DemocRATs to tell the Republicans not to call their bluff?

This is why you have to outright repeal it then replace it, because they will fight you every step of the way.

Did anyone expect it to be otherwise? Republicans refused to help with Obamacare. What incentive to the Democrats have to help with whatever the Republicans replace it with?

If I recall correctly, not one Republican voted for OdumboCare so it’s got nowhere else to go but up.
