As much as I would like to see the entire Obamacare law fully repealed, last I checked BHO still wields a veto pen. The best we can do right now is chip away at it piece by piece. And not fund it.

That's just the problem: Obama will veto "chip-aways" as readily as he will veto any "wholesale repeal", in any case... so why not do the right thing (i.e. repeal the whole bloody thing), and let the people SEE that you're doing the right thing? Too many instances of "let's display proper 'comity' and be discreet about nibbling away at unobtrusive, not-so-inflammatory corners", and the GOP voters will turn away in disgust at what they see (rightly) to be mere cowardice and/or complicity.

My recommendation: vote clearly, vote decisively, and vote boldly, and let the other side do what it will. Any hopes of "working with the other side" died decades ago... and it's been given a full state funeral under this particular regime.

If the GOP does what's right 100% of the time, more voters will vote more GOP (and not GOPe) candidates into office, and the positive feedback loop will go on. If not, then the whole machine will conk.

Last I checked the House voted to repeal Obamacare something like 40 times.

Harry Reid simply ignored it. Now there is a slim GOP majority in the US Senate. They, too, can pass bills all day long to repeal to Obamacare. And BHO will simply veto them the moment they arrive on his desk. He’ll even interrupt his golf game if necessary to do so and with gusto.

The only way to get rid of Obamacare once and for all in its entirety is to elect a GOP POTUS and Congress dedicated to repealing it. There is no way around it. ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES. Voting for Dems gives you crap like Obamacare. It’s really quite simple: Don’t vote for Dems and you won’t get crap like Obamacare. It’s going to be very tough to undue it now, especially since the SCOTUS has upheld it.
