Healthcare reform was a lose- lose proposition for the Republicans. Nothing short of single payor would have even remotely had bi-partisan support. Let it collapse and the Dems still OWN IT.


Letting healthcare collapse while you have the power to change it is not something for which constituents will reward you

#1 campaign promise was repeal/replace dude

the primary issue is that the ACA was way too large of an undertaking for our federal government and its tentacles have seeped into too many areas to repeal it without major economic issues for a good bit of time

the DEMs created a shitty piece of legislation with what essentially amounts to a kill switch to keep it alive

Assuming republicans have "control" of the senate when the "control" depends on Collins and a half a dozen like her is your first mistake.

The problem is the senate is almost half monolithic kooks who will not work on anything useful.
