I believe “fixing” Obamacare is impossible. Even if they could pass a replacement bill, I think it would fail over time and be considered a disaster — and it would have GOP fingerprints all over it.
“Replacing” Obamacare would eventually make the GOP look bad and harm them politically. (But the GOP always seems willing to shoulder that, since they are designated losers.)
Instead, Obamacare would just be repealed. Sure, that would be “heartless” and people would “die” and it would make the GOP “look bad” — but that’s unavoidable, right?
Just clear away the stumbling blocks. Let the market work. Sell people what they want and what they can afford. The government shouldn’t be selling a product or forcing people to buy a product. The government should simply allow companies to sell and allow the people to buy.
It’s not hard.

Impossible. Covering preexisting conditions is a MASSIVE new entitlement program. No way around it. It will have to be subsidized by fedzilla. And you know what that means.

Its hard to make the GOP look any worse than they already are. The words Republican and failure are virtually synonymous — and inseparable. Its hard to say one and not assume the other.
While it is undeniably true that they are the designated losers, they are only a symptom of a larger problem in my opinion. We elect them, allow them to deceive us, and then re-elect them again. So they are rewarded for their duplicitous behavior. We the base, need to step up and demand more from the people who want our votes.
That said, I totally agree with you that fixing Obamacare is impossible. There are simply too many moving parts in the massive, and intentionally complex, monstrosity of legislation.
I totally agree with you that the GOP should have just repealed Ocare. Its what they promised to do and every one of them should be held accountable for this epic failure.
