The Republican strategy on "Obamacare".

Their plan is to let it fall upon its own weight. And if there is no mandate, then it cannot survive. They know that.

But, in the meantime, they will put it off by saying they must repeal and replace.

They are working the issue in tandem with the next election. They want to make sure those on Medicaid will have coverage thru the next election, we could bet on that.

But, their final strategy is to let it fail. After all, they may not be in office after the next election and they won't have to worry about it.
