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]
DP. There's no way to fix it. The flaws run to its very foundation. And Obama knew it.

The GOP was [b]all about[/b] improving the healthcare system in the US before Obama decided to take it on, which is why they tried to repeal the ACA multiple times--cause they had something better! I'm sure they will come up with an excellent (BEAUTIFUL, BIGLY, AMAZING) plan now that they have control of the Presidency and both houses. Hell, it will be easy since they had all those years of prepping for this.

yep good ole GOP, always looking out for the American people  :) [/quote]
