Obamacare can be fixed by HHS Secretary Price.
So it doesn't have to explode?
So it doesn't need to be repealed and replaced?
Hmmmmmmm.....very interesting

It would be a complete repudiation of trump and the republicans

(10,624 posts)The Republicans can continue to try and sabotage it. They might even succeed.
But absent their efforts to the contrary, the plan is working and 20 million people have health insurance who didn't have it before.
Did it solve all our problems and make health care easily affordable for all? Of course not.
But it *is* working.

(10,437 posts)"If Democrats truly care about making this country better for the vast majority of its population, now that most people are finally of the opinion that health care ought to be reasonably available to everybody, not just if their employer offers it, Democrats should respond to the GOP's deplorable "repeal and replace" efforts with a promise to "reform and improve" Obamacare should they gain a Congressional majority.
How would a plan to "reform and improve" Obamacare work? There is renewed talk of "Medicare for All" and if the public can be sold on that, I certainly have no problem. But I suspect the public is not interested in "Medicare for All." So what is a viable Plan B?"

(10,437 posts)to be on the batshit side of crazy and the past month or so...he actually comes across as a reasonable senator. If Cotton is talking this way can we assume many other conservatives in the Senate are seeing this way too?...I know trumpcare had zero chance in the senate because of 2018
and this talk may because of 2018
