Obamacare should implode by itself as it is not affordable...let it sink by itself!

If Republicans really cared about the American people they wouldn't let it implode. The fact that you're excited about this is rather sickening.

Obamacare needs fixing. If the GOP thinks they will pin its problems on the Dems, think again. It is the Republican Party which controls all branches of the federal government and they are the only group which could possibly fix it on their own. They will ultimately be held responsible for Obamacare issues going forward as they are the government.

One would think that with 7 years of bitching and moaning, the Republicans would have had some ideas of what to fix and how to implement...or at LEAST a PLAN, period.

It reminds me of kids who wait until the night before to turn in their project, do a rush job and fail.

If you think this is going to be the GOP's fault, think again. It's the Democrats who FORCED Obamacare down our throats when they were the MAJORITY back in 2010. Please remember that.

But yes, go ahead. Go ahead and think this will hurt Trump. You're going to see Obamacare completely implode over the next 9 months, and it will be the Democrats owning it.

So now the Republicans are the majority in the Executive and Legislative branches, and soon will have a 5-4 majority in the Judicial.

Why can't the Republican Party get the job done?

Of course in principal, if Obamacare implodes it is on the Democrats for writing a very flawed law. You miss the real point.

If the GOP ALLOW it to -- like Trump suggested right from day one of his inauguration and before -- he often made reference to letting it crash just to make a point......that's on them.

They have the majority of people in DC right now -- they should be able to come up with a band aid or something to protect their constituents.

The fact they would allow it to crash -- I don't know -- that's some cold hearted political exercise.

Seriously...

Not necessarily. Sometimes you have to let things break before you can fix them.

And yes -- thing is -- you aren't just hurting Democrats..you are hurting all kinds of people if you let it crash.

Shaking my head -- see -- when a conservative says something like that I realize I could never call myself a conservative or Trump supporter.

I'm not that cold hearted -- my ego is not so sensitive. I would love the GOP to fix it and be victorious in the fix. I was really hoping they could pull it off. It was obvious, as many of us had pointed out...right from the start it wasn't the bill that would pass....and that it really wasn't solving the problems identified with Obamacare. High premiums, limited coverage...still there.
