Because I can't figure their angle UNLESS it's strictly political - that they want to protect an accomplishment of theirs regardless of the outcome.
And we also have SO many liberal talking heads whose message seems to be - it's not bad, it's helped so many people, let's just fix it, people like it, it just needs a little fixing.
Aside from two elements - Medicaid expansion and the provisions for pre-existing conditions and coverage until 26 - EVERYONE hates what's left.
Higher premiums, ridiculous deductibles - I have several friends who say the premiums they pay serve no purpose, because they're still paying the deductible - and increasingly limited choices.
Why can't both sides say - ok. Let's come up with a better solution, and just kill the old one?
If Obamacare survives - who "wins"? The Republicans, who couldn't kill it, or the Democrats - who protected it and OWN it?
Because I am sure the REST of us - lose.
