I think the problem is this. The media reports how repealing Obamacare would "cause 20 million to lose healthcare." Now what they aren't telling you is that most of these policies have sky high deductibles that the insured can't afford anyway, so while "on paper" they have insurance, they are insured in a way that's practically useless.
Repealing Obamacare would remove this useless insurance and offer something that might actually help them. Under Obamacare I had a policy that had a 6000 dollar deductible. I was unemployed, I couldn't afford that if I wanted to. It was a joke, but statistically, I had "insurance" so I was a stat the liberals used against the conservative idea of paying for your own insurance.
It's going to look bad if they would repeal Obamacare and the media would repeat the "20 million lost insurance" lie. So they're trying to figure out a way to look half decent and appease the handout-loving liberals.
