That's the Democrats plan as well. They are already blaming the failure on Republican Gov obstruction, and their replacement is going to be single payer. By failing to repeal Obamacare, we are a step closer to that happening. 100% chance we get single payer if Dems ever get control of all three branches again. Maybe this will work out and we'll get a better repeal, but an incredibly risky strategy.
That was always the plan. Obamacare is working perfectly as it was intended.
Pass the worst imaginable mess, destroy the existing healthcare system, and the sheeple will beg for socialized medicine.
“100% chance we get single payer if Dems ever get control of all three branches again.”

I have probably posted this before, but it bears repeating. When I had my children in Denver, and they were sick, I could call the doctor’s office and make a same-day appointment.
Just after I moved to Canada (Canadian husband with a job offer), my eighteen month-old daughter had an ear infection, as she was prone to having.
I got to the emergency room (no family doctor) at 9:30 and spend the entire day with a crying, fussy baby.
Finally, at around 6 pm, I went up to the receptionist and said, in my bad French, “No one has been called in about two hours. My daughter needs to see someone; she is in pain. What is going on?”
The receptionist said, “The doctor is having dinner.”
I answered, “This is a hospital. Are you telling me that there is only one doctor available to see people?”
Then I turned around to the crowd in the waiting room and said, “Why do you people put up with this?”
About five minutes later, a doctor was miraculously available and my daughter was seen. We got back at around ten p.m.
What a joy to spend twelve hours in a waiting room with a sick baby.
That’s what’s coming, if the U.S. goes to single-payer.
Strategy? Where?
If the “strategy” is to let Obamacare come apart on its own, then the thing to do would be to pass straight repeal in the House, then let the Dems filibuster it to death in the Senate.
At least that way, when it comes apart, the Dems have owned it from beginning to end.
Now, who knows who owns it? This was Republican self-immolation.
