    Default Polls: Support for Obamacare at all-time high

    Support for Obamacare is at an all-time high, according to two surveys released this week as Republican leaders continue to press the case for repeal amid fierce resistance at many town halls.

    The latest Health Tracking Poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation found that 48% of Americans view the law favorably, compared to 42% who have an unfavorable view. This is the highest level of favorability measured in more than 60 Kaiser Health Tracking Polls conducted since 2010.
    The boost comes largely from independents, half of whom view Obamacare favorably compared to 39% who don't. Nearly three-quarters of Democrats continue to view it favorably, while about the same share of Republicans have an unfavorable view.

    The Trump cult will just run away from threads like this.

    After 7 years of screaming Obamacare .. suddenly they're mute.

    They have no idea how to replace it.

    Perhaps they'll replace Obamacare with the ACA.
    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    Oh, they will respond, they are eagerly waiting/anticipating the next tweetRage for answers/lies........
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    What raises the red flags (irony noted) is the Republican methodology:

    a) Repeal ACA first: TOP PRIORITY

    b) Then, later on, replace it with something -better-.

    The Republicans are just full of those aggrandizing adjectives. Trump is going to "Make America Great Again". That will be some feat, as we were the greatest nation on Earth throughout the 8 year Obama administration.

    The Republicans are clearly in disarray on it. I'm not sure Spicer, Ryan, McConnell etc have the same thing in mind at all.

    On Obamacare ACA

    “It will be repeal & replace. It will be essentially simultaneously. It will be various segments you understand, but will most likely be on the same day or the same week.” President Elect Trump at his only post election victory news conference in New York 17/01/11 / FNS

    After challenge to VP Elect Pence from Chris Wallace, Pence added:
    “... you're seeing an incredible increase in premiums on Americans. Obamacare has failed. We're going to repeal it. But at the same time we're gunna pass the kind of legislation that will lower the cost of health insurance without growing the size of government. I would anticipate in the first hundred days that uh we'll deliver on that promise to the American People.” VP Elect Pence 17/01/15 on FNS


    Bull
    oney!

    For those trying to keep score at home, the Republican strategy intended by our congressional Republican leadership is:

    1) Take away ACA first, thereby driving up demand.

    2) Then after the need intensifies, slip in something different.

    I have no proof they will.
    But if they do, I have no proof it'll be significantly better.

    In any case, if they really wanted to BENEFIT the tax payer, why not implement the Republican plan, and during the overlaps, allow the citizen to decide if they want Obamacare, or Trumpcare?

    You know why the Republicans aren't doing it that way as well as I do. If they did, it would expose Republicans to being bested by Obama yet once again. And they've gotten tired of that.

    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    I can.
    Republicans may claim massive victory.

    BUT !!

    It's a thin and fragile victory at that.

    a) Trump lost the vote. It's the election he won.

    b) Recent polls indicate President Trump's national support started at or near record lows, and has been plummeting since.

    c) On congressional cooperation, the current thought is that Speaker Ryan and ML McConnell may cooperate w/ Trump where their intentions overlap. Where they do not, it seems the old guarde are prepared to block Trump.

    :0) I see the conflict you're having with addressing the question of where the fuck is your plan. 7 years not long enough to produce one?

    Try this .. don't come up with a plan.

    See what happens.

    Like you, I'm not privy to the plan, neither were we informed of the ACA plan....
    Like someone once said, you gotta pass it to find out whats in it.....

    and like the architect of the federal healthcare law said a "lack of transparency" and the "stupidity of the American voter" helped Congress approve ObamaCare.
    Keeping in mind that didn't get one Republican vote...
    Says a lot don't it.....

    .. and I hope that whatever plan republicans produce, it doesn't get a single democratic vote. I'm good with that.

    Obamacare did lack transparency .. and I heavily criticized Obama about that.

    "the stupidity of the American voter" .. Trump is the 'president' .. nuff said about that.
