When your own conservative policy activist group just denounced the GOP plan, you got problems.

4. I keep telling people - this a case of a dog that has rabidly chased its tail for 7 years

finally caught it only to realize it is attached to its own ass.

ACA was THEIR version of health care reform.

In their pea sized grey matter, they made political hay thinking that they could just "repeal it" only to come to the basic realization that would be absolute political suicide, so they find their feckless selves trying to cobble something together to "replace" it.

But, make no mistake, the "fracture" here is based on two things ...

Those lunatics who so callously want to just fully repeal it out of mean spirited hatred of all that is "liberal" and those, mostly in the senate who see how fucked up it is and don't want to put their names to it.

End of the day ... As long as, however they come it to, four or so of these assholes in the senate won't sign on for it and, somehow, team D manages to not have any of dimwit defect, we MAY duck it.

5. The Dems should immediately I reduce their own alternative

Medicare for all (or at least a buy-in as a public option).

8. IDK ...

maybe, but maybe this is one of the moments in politics when you just let your opponent burn ...

10. Agree. Don't confuse the already confused.

6. I'm going on a limb that many in corporate America and even insurance companies fear this law

It looks bad for everyone. Even the tax repeals help very little when the orders for your medical devices go way, way down.

11. Employers, insurance, hospitals, pharmaceuticals,

medical device manufacturers all approved the ACA. Yes, they greatly fear the destabilization of their industries, uncertainty about their futures, and threats to their profits. No one can see the dysfunctions and also the short time line of this plan better than they. They know it won't work and will only be followed by more deconstruction.
