The gop's in the same untenable situation the dems were in back in 08. The only real conservative answer is to end all the tax expenditures that feed the employer sponsored plans, raise MORE revenue, and provide people with tax credits sufficient to buy comprehensive care. But they can't do that because people would vote them out.If they do get repeal, the Right will lose the Congress for generations.Do you think a repeal only would be a winner in the elections?Noooo, Orange Donnie promised "a plan that covers everybody" and will be "just as good" on pre-existing conditions
5 Trump health care promises that won't become reality
He got trapped by the RINO pussies. He should have stuck to Repeal only. That's all his supporters are demanding. They never demanded 'Replace.'

Yes. Trump's supporters only demanded Repeal. They never demanded Replace.
That's one of the reasons that some Republicans have said they won't support Trump's bill, even though he threatened to have him primaried. I liked his response to the threat, because he stated that Trump didn't put him in office, the people of his district did, and he's gonna do what the people who elected him want rather than what Trump dictates.
They know that the ACA as it stands is better than the plan that Trump came up with.
And that just pisses off Trump more.
So they have to come up with some bastard child plan to keep the crazy employer sponsored (gummit worker) system we have, and somehow fold everyone else in. Now Trump could have told the truth, and tried to sell Americans on how private market decisions might be better, but he didnt'.
There's nothing better than what Obama did. Financially it's not sustainable because the taxing plan doesn't raise enough. Eventually people will just have to be put in medicare.
