Ditto for me on Paul Ryan or any of them. That's why you should be more careful in your speculation.
I was not limiting that to this issue.
So, what do you think the harms of the ACA are?
Will you not admit at least that the proposed bill was an increment towards reversing parts of the ACA?
I guess that's what I'm missing. No one has actually articulated how the proposed bill would be MORE damaging than the ACA. It appears those on INGO are simply against it because it isn't a total repeal.
Can you elaborate on how the proposal would be worse than current state?
This demonstrates how the Overton Window works. Instead of coalescing around complete repeal, root and all, we're down to discussing how this failure might have been effective in repealing parts of ObamaCare. This is how they get us. The democrats knew if they ever got this thing across the finish line the first time, it would be part of our lives forever. And as we are seeing, they're right. There is no appetite to do the right thing -- repeal it...all. Instead, just like welfare, social security, agriculture subsidies/programs, tax incentives for business expansions, you name it, we're going to working around the margins of this thing forever. Oh, we might make "reforms" every now and then; we might change who gets taxed and who gets to subsidized; but unless Trump and the GOP House/Senate do something in the next 10 months, that's going to be it.
