We should root for the ACA to be repealed!

29. Small Correction (first post)

A buddy of mine told me I should check out this site this morning, he acted as though it was some sort of internet joke. Of course he is not what you would call left leaning so consider the source, but I read though a couple of threads and you guys rock. I was pleasantly surprised. Especially since I assumed he was trying an April Fool's day trick. I will have to buy him lunch later to thank him.



However, I felt this post needed an important correction.
While the poster is right that if they gained power the republicans would not repeal ACA, they would do a lot more damage by keeping it around just not in its current form. They would claim to be "fixing it" playing off the mantra that was recently popular by democratic politicians. To do so they would remove the individual mandate, subsidy, and medicaid expansion funding then sit back and laugh while the program imploded upon itself. All the while claiming victory because the program couldn't "stand on its own merit" (after they gutted the parts that make is possible). That's what you would see happen to ACA if the republicans are allowed back into power.
