Actually, in the liberals' arrogance and oft-quoted remarks about Democrat demographics, they were SURE they would win the next election, so when the monstrosity failed - as they knew it would - they figured Hillary (the heir apparent) would race in with a rescue. That would be single-payer, which the country, in arms over the failed Ocare, would then be willing to accept. It's classic Alinsky.[/quote]

This is the crux of it! The assumption was that the next president would be a Democrat who would rescue Medicare. It obviously did not work out that way.

The other assumption was that once ACA was in effect for a few years, it would be difficult to rollback because it is always difficult to take away a benefit - that assumption was correct. It is why the Republicans who passed numerous bills to repeal ACA through the years confident that Obama would veto the bills - so it was just a pointless exercise to appeal to the base. Now that they can actually repeal ACA without fear of a veto they don't want to do so, not because they think ACA was well structured - it was not - but because they are afraid of the consequences in terms of the impact on those who are enjoying the benefit in their states.[/quote]

Then why aren't they working with Dems to make it [b]better[/b][i]? To fix the issues? To make it a stronger benefit for the American people?[/quote]
