In reply to the discussion: Boehner: Republicans won't repeal and replace Obamacare [View all]usaf-vet
(7,223 posts)44. If the GOP were smart they would pass a resolution that said
1. From this point forward the term Obamacare will never be used again in any congressional speeches or legislation or in TV interviews
2. From this point forward we will work with the other side of the isle to fix the problems in the Affordable Care Act.
Obamacare would be history and the ACA would get fixed to insure that 20 million enrollees would not lose their healthcare.
With Fox news on board the Republicans could make it work.
Otherwise they are...... shall we say screwed. Their voters are catching on with the fact that they have been lied to. And they are not happy. And the resistance will continue to grow. The town hall resistance is real. Even the GOP base know that the ACA (Obamacare) is better than what the GOP says it will deliver. 8 years plus and bupkis, nothing, not a single word of real reform.

If they screw up their base's health care, those in office are screwed themselves.
