The Republicans want to expand not eliminate Obamacare for a couple of reasons the first of which their buddies in the Chamber of Commerce want to off load all health care costs from their books to the Federal government.Even though this will expand the Federal government and raise taxes the financial burden will be placed on the middle class and small business and multi national corporations will be exempted from bearing any tax burden.The next factor will be increased donations to the Republicans in Congress and lobbying jobs after Congressional service for both Congressmen and Congressional staff as a whole new growth industry is generated in Washington writing and exempting people from health-care regulations.The finally reason is they can send out their RNC fund raising letters begging for money claiming that they need to increase their majority so they can finally fix it to make work properly since you can’t get rid of Obamacare because too many people depend on it now and you can’t repel it since that wouldn’t be compassionate. Bohner let the cat out of the bag, the GOP elite isn’t going to repeal Obamacare unless Trump and the voters force it on them and they’ll throw up every obstruction they can to keep the donation machine rolling.
You’re one smart guy (or gal) for a bonehead. ;-)
I don't know why anyone would think this is a bad thing. Eliminating the link between employment and health insurance would be an enormous incentive for companies to hire more workers. There's absolutely no reason -- other than an idiotic provision of the U.S. tax code that allows people to get health insurance from their employers tax-free -- that employers should be in the business of buying insurance for their workers.
