Embrace Repeal and Replace: How to Steal the Republican thunder. [View all]

Who can disagree that we need to repeal and replace Obamacare?

Sure we do! With single-payer, or a public option!

Instead of running from the repeal and replace mantra, we simply need to CO-OPT it. This is how the Republicans operate, and we can do the same here.

Let's make REPEAL AND REPLACE a euphemism for the PUBLIC OPTION, and MEDICARE FOR ALL.

After all - that is what the majority of Americans support!

Rant off.
