Should Obamacare be repealed because it's a step in the wrong direction?

[ProSense]

41. "Many countries" have repealed the law in order to allow the U.S. Congress to pass single payer?

"Now it may well be the case that our bought and paid for politicians won't vote for it, but polls consistently show that the public supports single payer so it is the people who say it is not realistic who are out of touch. "

So if you believe they "won't vote for it," why do you think it "realistic"? Polls don't vote bills into law.

"Your suggestion that all funding and benefits would disappesr are false, I clearly said the only way I would support repeal would be if single payer were implemented at the same time. That means the funding and benefits would not disappear they would just be implemented under the new single payer system."

No, it's not false: Repeal...benefits and funding disappear, and then Congress begins debate on single payer.

What you really are implying is not a repeal, but this: Congress begins debate on single payer leading to passage of such a law, and then repeal Obamacare.

That scenario nothing to do with repeal. It is the only way that benefits and funding would not disappear.

In that case, what is likely to happen is that a buy-in to Medicare for all or a full access to a public option is added to the law.
