Democrats should pit "Letting ObamaCare explode" vs. Fixing it

[anglesphere]

Trump and Republicans have suggested the only action left for health care since their failed bill is to allow the ACA to "explode"...

Or, in other words, allow citizens who are sick or poor and may be still vulnerable to suffer the consequences of an incomplete health care system.

Doing nothing means people who still suffer from high premiums and expensive medication will not get relief.

In a worse case scenario the republicans are even suggesting ObamaCare will explode.

And so Democrats should make it clear that if Republicans care about Americans they should have no second thoughts about allowing Democrats to fix the ACA rather than let Americans suffer the consequence of a collapsed Health Care system.

Everyone should be asking Republican's, if ObamaCare is truly about to collapse, why aren't they open to anything that will prevent that collapse?

We need to call their bluff hard!

2. Mihop?

4. MIHOP is the concept of "Make It Happen On Purpose"

... contrasted with LIHOP "Let It Happen On Purpose".

First heard widely in connection with severe and mild conspiracy theories around 9/11 and the way Bush disregarded the security briefing warning that terrorists were planning to use airliners to attack the USA.

3. Yes. This is the right approach. Call out sabotage for what it is.

Rubio sabotaged it already:

I've seen posts around here saying that the Republicons "own" the ACA.     NO. The Affordable Care Act will always be Obama's achievement no matter what happens.

Republicons own the sabotage.
Democrats own the extensions and improvements.
