All along, Trump has said “Repeal and REPLACE” Obamacare.

I believe that is part of the reason, so many crossed party lines to vote for him.

If we just repeal Obamacare without replacing it, in my opinion that is when things will start to go south for the GOP once again.

We have seen the GOP self-destruct before. The party has been shrinking now for several decades.

I think the party would have eventually disappeared, because they were not DOING anything.

But Trump stood up, and a whole lot of Americans voted for the guy.

This is part of the reason.

Repeal and REPLACE Obamacare.

Nobody crossed party lines for Replace. They crossed party lines because they are tired of political correctness on carbon and speech and genders that are not scientific genders.

The desire of both Republicans and most non-Republicans is an economic boom so big that everyone has a good job and can afford their own medical care. The desire of most Republicans is that private voluntary charity care for those few who can’t work. eg who raised big money for St Jude’s Hospital?

Given our failed mis-education system, can the economy provide good paying jobs for low skilled, uneducated workers?

Given the enormity of the problem, how fast can we grow the economy?

The risk is that without Replace, the economy does not grow fast enough and the low skilled don’t earn enough to cover medical care.

Subsidized Medical care actually has only 4 constituencies:
Pregnant women and their babies
War Vets
Senior citizens
Poor life style choices (over-eating, addiction, promiscuity, crime, etc)

No sane politician proposes eliminating Medicaid, Medicare, Vet care. The question is who how to change them to have less overhead... less inefficiency.

And why not death panels for adults who made poor lifestyle choices. Why should we be force to pay for those who chose to do drugs. If private charities want to help them, that is fine. By why force it on taxpayers?
