Where is the plan that Republicans swore would be cheaper and better than Obamacare?
Ask Dems in congress who block any attempt at passing it, just like they did in 2009-2010. Here's a fact you can't dodge, the American people REJECTED Obamacare dealing Democrats their biggest loss in nearly 100 years for passing it without their consent.
Au contraire my young fool. Americans have run three elections where Obamacare was, in essence, on the ballot, and Obamacare has crushed Republicans each and every time. Obama ran on a platform of passing health care reform because millions of Americans had lost their health insurance when they lost their jobs, and those with pre-existing conditions, being anyone over the age of 50, was in trouble for getting new insurance.
In 2010, when the Tea Party caucus took over the House, they ran on a platform of "no new taxes", because the Bush tax cuts were set to expire. Obamacare was secondary, because it wasn't set to kick in for another couple of years.
2012 was definitely fought on Obamacare, because as one Republican quite correctly said: "If we don't end it before 2013, when all of the restructuring of the health care system starts to kick in, we will never be able to end it because it will be embedded into the system".
2016 was not. People were complacent about it having fought that fight, and Trump promised "better, cheaper, healthcare for all". When Trump proposed healthcare which was not "better or cheaper", and failed to protect those with pre-existing conditions, and further declared "rape, pregnancy, and incest" as "pre-existing conditions" for women, women took offence.
This made the 2018 mid-Terms absolutely the third election fought on the issue of the Affordable Care Act. Not surprisingly, most Trump voters were in favour of the Affordable Care Act. It was that damn "Obamacare" that they thought was awful.
