RE :”The meme this election will be ‘how to fix obamacare’. The Dems will offer the most generous ‘fixes’ and responsible modifications will be greeted with”The Republicans want to cut your health care!” by the Dems and the media.”

Republicans dont have to jump into that trap, of calling for that next year.

Bachmann had a great idea : GOP should come out for repealing all the mandates on insurance except the exchanges.
And to say the exchanges are for the *uninsured*

Call it the “Freedom to pick the insurance that is right for you act”

Stick on that for a while. It kills the exchanges and its populist too.

It keeps the focus on Obamacare cancellations.

Republicans should call to remove the pre-existing condition mandate so they won't get ""Republicans want to cut your health care!" as a response?

I don't see ANY responsible modification being greeted otherwise. Obamacare is just too much of a fantasy.

The way not to fall into the trap is to not give the Dems and the media an alternative to shoot at. Which is why the Dems are becoming increasingly shrill in their demands that the GOP produce an alternative.

The GOP needs to do little more than insure that the Dems OWN this fiasco. The media might have been powerful, but there’s not a heck of a lot they can do to tell people that “no, you really aren’t losing your coverage and doctor and your costs aren’t rising” when all of that is actually happening.
