I know the process is messy, but I sure don't see repeal happening. The best I can hope for is the ability to opt out. I'm so mad I can't put it into words to describe it. All my life I stuck with these guys. I campaigned for conservatives. I knocked on doors. I worked as an election judge. I attended party meetings. I donated to campaigns. Now after a lifetime of working towards the day when we would see conservative principals put into law we see they really don't want to. They just want socialism "lite" instead of the real heavy duty Venezuela type that always follows.
No more!
I too am disgusted by the Republicans who now refuse to vote for killing Obamacare as they promised. They apparently fear the wrath of the Media and the people who get Obamacare for free (or very little) i.e., those who are the Medicaid crowd. They don't stop to realize that 99.9% of those people never voted for Trump nor Republicans anyway, AND WILL NOT AGAIN, even if Trump and the Rebubs gave them everything they want. On the other hand, if Obamacare is not expunged as promised by the Repubs, voters who supported Trump and the GOP WILL NOT vote for the GOP in the midterms, nor Trump and the GOP again in 2020.
Not cancelling O-care will prove to be political suicide for the GOP. The commie takeover will then be complete.
