President Obama met behind closed doors Wednesday morning with congressional Democrats to map out a strategy to defend the Affordable Care Act and other health-care policies — the day that Republicans began debate on how to get rid of the far-reaching law.
As sharp political fault lines emerged — with Democrats saying they feel no obligation to devise a new health-care law and Republicans vowing to dismantle the existing one through legislation and executive actions — it could take six months or more to determine what sort of system might replace the ACA.
Obama’s rare visit to Capitol Hill, less than three weeks before Donald Trump assumes the presidency, is part of his administration’s final push to hold onto its achievements before handing over the reins of power in Washington.

Hey Barry! Your bathhouse called; they need some fresh towels in the spa area. Get to it!
Just make sure the Senate rules allow us to take the trash out of the US Code.
Get rid of it fast! It is sucking prosperity away from Americans through employers providing only part-time jobs to avoid paying for this expensive employee benefit and by families having to pay $25,000 to even utilize their insurance coverage after they pay the massive deductibles. Families are essentially paying out of pocket for their healthcare and avoiding getting tests they may need because of the high costs created by hospitals, insurance companies and drug companies in bed with the government!
His signature extortion plan.
Sure. Just make it mandatory for everyone.
Yes Congress, that means you.
If your coverage is better than mine then it’s illegal.
I’ll bet an EO could cover that.

Reports: President-Elect Trump To Issue Executive Orders That Will Help Roll Back Obamacare On Day One
2018 Campaign Ads need to be started and aired and published for any RAT or RINO who tries to stop the Trump train - Making America Great Again!
Obstructionists will be highlighted for We The People to know their names and to ensure they get booted in 2018. Drain the swamp ASAP and 24/7 through 2018.
Exactly true !
Most political supposters quit after the election
Now, more than ever , we need to remain politically active
..and to call out the subversives, saboteurs, and turncoats !
Let’s all pray that the Trump team reads FR or people with the funds to organize and carry out our suggestions. We must never forget that we are in a political war against the enemies of freedom. These sewer RATs are corrupt liars, self-serving, ego maniacs who would love to make us their servants after stealing our freedom. Just my opinion. What’s yours?
'Rats acting like a bunch of ostriches with their heads in the sand!
“Obama tells Democrats to ‘stay strong’ in protecting his signature health-care law”
In other words obama is trying to arrange a post-Presidency suicide mission for the Dems, akin to Lemmings leaping off a cliff.
With obamacare in a death spiral, Democrat obstructionism guarantees enough time for a complete collapse, so obama is setting the Dems up for yet another obamacare suicide mission that guarantees that they will lose even more House and Senate seats two years from now; obama will still be haunting the Democrat party even when he is no longer President.
With Donald Trump as President, the fake stream media no longer has the credibility to convince the American people with their lies that the obamacare collapse is the Republicans fault. President Trump will come out blasting against that kind of fake stream media propaganda, unlike the frightened little Milquetoast Republicans of the past.
Should Democrat obstructionism precipitate the final collapse of obamacare in the next two years, 2018 will be the final Waterloo for the Democrat party. Once again, it appears the Dems learned nothing from their massive losses during the last eight years, and are still intent on doubling-down on stupid.
Their heads are up each others rectums, IMO.
First get rid of all the exemptions, that will bring the rats to the table...........................
Without Obama care Obama is nothing. He will be forgotten. He truly believes he will live for eternity and worshipped for giving health care to the multitudes through his namesake law. If Obamacare faces the death panel, sometimes you have to take a pill dontcha know, there will be nothing this statist jerk will be remembered for in 10 years. The only blip will be “the first African American president” proving that he embodies racism by abopting the racist “one drop” rule.
We could wait until citizens start begging us to end ObamaCare... just keep explaining dems are blocking the move...
They couldn't if they wanted to.
Podesta's emails show Hussein Barry Obama is into $65000 hot dogs and pizza.
Or in other words, Obama tells Democrats: “Please fly your planes into the enemy’s battleships, and don’t plan on returning. Remember, its for the good of the Empire.”
Probably has to be repealed some sideways way unless they get 60 to pass it.
More than likely they remove the penalty, allow competition and find a way to give non-workers limited less-costly band aid coverage.
Sure keep family on the plan until 26, but charge extra for it if the are not still in school.
This is clearly edited. What Obama said was “stay strong and tie Trump supporters up and torture them on Facebook.”
