Dems Will Make Us Suffer before Obamacare Repeal
By William L. Gensert
Here we are today; the AHA has seemingly crashed and burned because some Republicans were too afraid -- most are always afraid -- while others were just too pure of heart -- they would rather accept defeat than vote for something that was merely an improvement and not the whole ball of wax.
The frightened balked at the block-grant formulas for Medicaid, while the indomitable ideologues objected to the preservation of the 3.8% net investment tax on passive income, capital gains, and dividends as well as the 0.9% Medicare surtax on income and wages for couples making more than $250 thousand a year or singles making more than $200 thousand per annum.

The Democrats created this big government mess called Obamacare. If the Republicans merely make adjustments to "make it better" they will end up owning it all. Stupid is as stupid does.
If Democrats don't want to repeal it let it burn under their name.
