Cruz sincerely tried to shrink/repeal/stop Obamacare, and the GOP establishment sincerely tried to stop Cruz. The establishment won, but I don’t blame Cruz for that.
And he was just one man. I’m curious what the Trumpers think Trump will do. It takes a vote in Congress to repeal it unless they want Trump to become dictator which some of them have hinted they do.
Besides, Trump did say he liked the mandate;)
Oh just where was the Republican Plan for Health Care Reform. Oh thats right there wasn’t one.
Trump at least will offer something to replace it with.
If the Republicans had done something like that then maybe they could have built some support.
That's my problem with Trump; I don't know what he would actually do in office. Still, the viable candidates are limited.
Trump could do what Obama did with Obamacare waivers - the precedent is already set. I do not consider that legal, but it has been accepted under the current petty tyrant, so it would be hard for democrats to argue with. My suggestion: Grant every individual in the country and every business in the country a blanket, lifetime waiver from all Obamacare requirements. Then push Congress to repeal (and not replace) that terrible law.
