No, they're trying to figure out what they're left holding in their hands. It looks rather like their arses, in a bag.

I am entertained watching ACA rot on the vine. It really is the poisoned fruit.

Yeah, that's it. Don't try and fix it because, like, watching other people (you know, the ones who need medical care and aren't you) suffer is BIG fun, too. This has been Repugnant policy since '08 when they last did nothing.

Nothing in memory has been better for electing Republicans than the unaffordable and I don't care act....I think Republicans want to keep this carcass alive to kick around some more....I don't blame them.

No, Obamacare isn't failing on its own. Democrats can't obstruct, since they don't have the majority. The GOP have had 7 years to come up with a solution. They have nothing but Wealthcare, which the entire country despises.

The Democrats aren't traitors. They owe no fealty to Trump whatsoever.

If it's failing on its own, then what's the problem?

Nope. That's a stretch and you know it. That worm has turned.

The Republicans could talk Big about repeal because they knew Obama would veto it anyway. Now they have a president that will sign a repeal, and that scares Republicans to death.

Please stop, Trump took away the non-enrollment penalties, advertising and refuses to make a decision regarding the health care subsidies, a court decision from back in the fall. All this is creating instability with the insurers that need to set rates for 2017 now.


How did the democrats obstruct, did they sneak into the private GOP meetings. To obstruct you need to filibuster or vote, none of that has occurred.

When the last insurer leaves the market there will be no more "Obamacare". We don't have to do anything to repeal it. It is repealing itself.

"Don't try and fix it"

Like some old houses, it is UN-fixiible and easier to tear it down COMPLETELY and start with a clean slate.

By, the way, where have the dems been since OCare was passed trying to "fix it"?

How many "fixes" did they pass when they had COMPLETE control to correct some of the problems?

Shumer goes before the Senate and all we hear is how BAD the repub plans are.

Where are HIS plans from the dem Senators to fix ANY OF IT?

Oh, wait They THINK it is PERFECT in its current form and NO fixes are necessary!

And Trump said he was going to repeal and replace Obamacare on day one. And replace it with something much better and cheaper.
