So you are in agreement no way it is going to get repealed in the near future, if ever.
I agree 100% it will not get repealed while Obama is president.
That does not, however, lead me to the conclusion that the GOP needs to work to make the law better. They need to continue to hammer away at this POS legislation and hang it around the Democrats' necks.
The employer mandate is going to hurt worse than the individual mandate. More opportunities ahead. If they can get pieces of it repealed in between now and then, they should.
The difference between the Republican party and Democratic party are pretty stark - not just in ideas but in tactics and strategy. The ACA is a perfect demonstration of that difference. They never quit. This has been decades in the making, and they keep pounding away until they get what they are after. When they are turned back, they put on more steam.
The Republican's tuck their tail and run. They allow themselves to be shouted down, bullied, cornered, and coerced.
The law itself should have been viewed as radical when it was being debated. The method in which it was passed...the irresponsibility of those who passed it...the lies that were told to push it through. Yet those who now insist on compromise to fix the results of the law are willing to overlook that, call it water under the bridge, and then demonize those who oppose it.
Loser mentality in my book. The R's need to take a page out of the D's playbook here. Will not happen under current leadership. Make no mistake, the goal of the Democrat's now is to try to make the implementation failure a GOP problem.
