(50,949 posts)stupid to realize, when the detonation comes, that the problem was with Trump and not with Obamacare itself.
IF the Republicans are able to convince the average voter that Obamacare was untenable and if they successfully say, "See, here's the proof. Watch it collapse!" I fear we will be another generation with people being ruined financially by medical costs. It will also confuse the confusable, making them not know whether to vote for the Republicans or "those Democrats that gave us that terrible Obamacare."
At this point I almost hope that the Republicans pass their healthcare debacle. If they do, I know that many will suffer but it will turn people so far against Republicans that the Democrats might be able to get single payer next time they are in office.
Sadly, I think the thing to do now is to acknowledge that the Republicans will cause untold suffering either way, and our job is to figure out where the suffering will be the least.
