Replace it?

Why?

It was initially sold as the conveyence to get insurance to 30 million who are uninsured. Most of those 30 million continue to be without healthcare, either because they do not want it or cannot afford the Obamacare premiums and high deductibles.

It has failed in that mission, but it continues to destroy the insurance industry for the remaining population.

Exactly. Plus no Republican proposal will ever be taken seriously, precisely because it is a Republican proposal.

The only thing I can see as a transitional measure is block grants to the states to set up their own alternatives. Yeah, block grants from deficits. That's the ticket. But at least it might garner bipartisan support.

POTUS Obama & Mayor DeBlazio = Anti-American communists!!! And every big insurance company should go bankrupt for supporting this destruction of American medical care, and every public & privatelabor union that backed low life Obama should go bust for backing such a foolish, failed plan of medical insurance for its membership!!! Wake up.....Obama is both a hater and would be destroyer of the American Republic!!!

It doesn't seem possible to move towards a nation where less than half the people are productive and then manage to cover the living expenses and health needs of the other half by skimming off the top. When industry, energy and jobs are not the prime interest of the country the outlook for the future seems grim.

The GOP is thinking of re-running Romney and his brother.

RomneyCARE will NEVER be dropped by the GOP. Ever.

Since it never had and was never intended to address ‘health care’ in America... it needs to be repealed.

In its present configuration (that is, the part we are permitted to know and comprehend... in dribs and drabs) it is nothing but a full scale assault on the US taxpayer.

It is the most maliciously treasonous and patently illicit piece of ‘legislation’ ever passed.

This is a great plan and would probably work. But it’s based on a false premise: that somehow it is the government’s responsibility — and right — to provide health care. It isn’t. And a doctrinaire conservative wouldn’t be trying to fix a government program that never should have been created to begin with.

Stop retreating and declaring victory! Kill this monstrosity NOW!

The Taxed Enough Already Party is the first serious threat to the parasitic hold that Professional Politicians in “both” political parties have on those of us who are Taxed Enough Already.

The Professional Politicians in “both” political parties have been uniting to suppress us since November, 2010.

The Democrats have been, and continue to, suppress us through the brute force of the IRS, DOJ, NSA, and other Gestapo-Style Federal Agencies that we are forced to finance.

The RINOs are suppressing us by their Public statements and critical cave-in votes to Democrats.

Thus, the RINOs and Democrats have united against us.

Fair enough: BRING IT !

Both the RINOs and the Democrats have Professional Politicians who are dependent on their ability to control those of us who still pay Personal Federal Income Taxes, in order to continue to be on our payroll.

What better way to control us than to make us slaves to them who are the masters of us?

“Both” Political Parties in our current Communal Federal Government understand that the purpose of naming a Master/Slave Federal Government Program an “Entitlement” is to deceive the enslaved population into believing that becoming slaves to a Master is something to be desired, and thus reduce the probability of a slave rebellion.

The Master/Slave Entitlement of Obamacare is the most Communal of all of the Federal Government Master/Slave Entitlement Programs, because it can legally collect monies and/or property after death of the Entitled Slave, or from their surviving family members.

FORWARD, the RINOcare RINOS!

FORWARD, the Obamacare Democrats!!

FORWARD !

If the replacement plan involves the Fed govt, it is not a solution.

Nice analysis. Just one problem: Not enough votes.

Repeal it Entirely.

That's what I want to see. However, the government is so deep into the quicksand I don't think a clean repeal is politically possible.
They have their PRESTIGE to think of, which unfortunately overrides the needs of the nation.

What to replace it with? Remove all restrictions on private insurance and let them compete for your money.

The more disgusted voters are with “both” political parties, the fewer the number of disgusted voters that bother to vote, the better the chances that “both” parties have at winning with their loyal block voters.

Voting for Democrats is the problem.

Voting for Cave-In RINOs perpetuates the problem.
