If Obamacare was such good legislation no one would be complaining and trying to get rid of it. Duh! now there's a thought for you to mull over.

Pretty much the only people who want to get rid of it are the butthurt Republicans who never got over it being passed in the first place.

Hey John, after Obamacare, my premiums shot up to $920 a month. Are you willing to pay my premiums each month? If not, why not? You expect me to pay yours.

Or would you rather we wait until it collapses on it's own and no one has insurance?

LOL. The Democrat house members already know what the end result is when the 2018 campaign starts

The vote has started. Lawmakers are on the floor singing: "na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey, goodbye." Reporters on the Hill are saying Democrats were leading the chant, directing it toward their Republican colleagues.

It was the huge disaster of Obama Care that gave the House and Senate to the Republicans in the first place! The partial repeal of Obama Care will let the Republicans gain seats in the Senate in 2018 and maybe even give them a slight chance of getting the magical 60 seats.

The Senate Republicans are more moderate. If I was betting, I would bet a repeal/replace bill never passes Congress and the House and Senate will eventually end up modifying Obamacare.

Ocare will collapse as more and more insurers leave the marketplace because they are losing a ton of money. Something has to be done.
