Perhaps I was unclear. My suggestion for a compromise that would provide extra funding for Obamacare in the current budget is not to preserve it but to take the issue beyond the 2016 election. Otherwise, if there are health insurance cancellations due to a lack of extra funding, there will be a campaign issue and much whining about people who lose their health insurance coverage because of GOP stinginess. I would rather pocket gains now from killing off some Democratic programs, and leave to a new GOP President and Congress in 2017 a free hand to kill Obamacare and put a GOP substitute in place.

NO COMPROMISE ON ANYTHING....PERIOD! The GOPe has ruined our lives, futures and personal fortunes and opportunity by using that tactic.
The definition of Republican Compromise:
You have a bill that you want passed. 75% of the Democrats object to it. To bait them to vote for your bill you trim away enough of it so that only 49% will object to it. However, the bait is the heart of your bill and without it the bill you will get passed actually means nothing more than a blank piece of paper.
However, now you can claim that YOU wrote and passed a bill that the Democrats did not like while patting yourself on your back for COMPROMISING all good that the original bill had for seeking more votes for your upcoming election...or an amazing deposit into your coffers by strangers you did not even know.
The time has come for a NO COMPROMISE Republican House and Senate. The GOPe has already dealt our Constitution a death blow and it cannot take another.
