As I've said many times here on FR, the GOP has never had any interest in repealing ObamaCare. Their problem is that the biggest beneficiaries of ObamaCare are older people -- a core constituency of the Republican Party.
The dirty little secret is that most Republican voters -- even many right here on FreeRepublic -- absolutely love most of the ObamaCare provisions that make health insurance so ridiculously expensive. They just don't want to pay for it.
Unfortunately, you are right. A lot of people believe in the right for someone else to pay for their “entitlements”. While ignoring that the price is ever increasing debt passed on to the next generation.
