I think it is. Repeat the benefits, delay the costs.

use repealing means that insurance companies will trip over themselves in their haste to vacate the market - the only way to stop it would be a Republican-owned bailout of big insurance, for no reason than their own cowardice.
easy enough to spin. Obamacare sucks. Its worked for years.

With what? There's nothing that's been proposed to replace it that solves the fundamental problems of access and cost.
yeah, I dont think there is a replacement that will address its shortcomings. But it doesn't mean one doesn't exist.
The democrats have zero power here, so all they can do it cheer/jeer. better to be optimistic if you are just a dude on the internet.
Let the Rs own this. It should be fun to see what happens, although I do worry about those who lose coverage. But oh the frick well, again nothign we can do.

I agree. The problem is, you can't run on magical fairy dust as a replacement for a concrete policy. Especially when you'll be forcibly ripping that policy away from a ton of people who truly need it.

yes and no. Not every part of the ACA is subject to reconciliation, so the filibuster ensures at least part of it survives.

I'd really prefer letting the R's own it not involve tangible harm to thousands of people, given the alternatives.
