Why Can’t Republicans Move On From Obamacare Repeal?

[TheDude]

All people with brains know that the ACA is here to stay in one form or fashion.

Let's move on to Medicare for all.

Sure guy, let's open the gates too.

Yep it's here to stay.

Republicans just can’t quit Obamacare repeal.

Even as they face an insanely busy week when a government shutdown will need to be averted and President Trump would also like to unveil a tax overhaul plan, some GOP lawmakers—perhaps at the behest of White House officials seeking to save face ahead of the 100-day mark—are talking up the possibility of a new deal to revive legislation to dismantle the Affordable Care Act.

Even as GOP congressional leaders tamp down expectations of any quick movement to resuscitate the bill, which was pulled from a House floor vote last month due to lack of support, the latest round of hype signals a longer-term problem for the GOP’s approach to governance. As long as Republicans can’t fully move on from Obamacare repeal, it stands to infect the other agenda items they seek to pass while they still have full control of Congress.

Millions of Americans cannot afford Obamacare, but still the federal government forces the bullshit onto them

Because we can't repeal the goddam thing. It's like being tied up and forced to watch a marathon rerun of the Walking Dead! (-:
