The ACA was instituted with the idea of getting healthcare to tens of millions of people who either couldnt afford healthcare or didnt qualify. The Repubs were against it from the get go and never gave it a chance to work, they tried to repeal it many times something they failed to do so they did the next best thing ,they defunded it making prices go up and giving them a false pretense to say the program doesnt work.
Some reading on how repubs sabotaged the ACA = https://www.google.ca/search?source=....0.yc4th8KQazI
The R's failed to repeal and the D's failed to fund. ACA lasted this long because Obama made unilateral changes to keep it afloat.
Obamacare didn't start until 2014. Took less than 3 years to determine it doesn't work.
You say it doesn't work but more people want to KEEP Obamacare then those that want to get rid of it.
So something must be working. It has faults but if it was completely failing Republican (who control the House and Senate) would have no problem repealing it if MOST people didn't want it.
It seems that there are a whole bunch of people think it works well enough for them to fight for it at town halls, etc.
I don't know -- this 'isn't working' doesn't jive with what folks seem to be fighting for.

No, they ran on repealing it and replacing it with something better. How's that working out for them?
Meanwhile, posters here are gloating about the ACA going down, as if the GOP won't reap the fallout from it since they failed to do what they promised.

The GOP could keep it afloat if they wanted. If they choose to let it die it's on them to explain to the millions of people with no health insurance why that was the path they chose.
Correct, they ran on Repealing AND Replacing it, so far they have managed to kill it but seem to have a problem coming up with an acceptable replacement.
Mostly agree there. It's not dead yet but it's not doing very well.
Hillary ran on fixing it. In part it's why she lost.
