Yep. We’ve been hearing for a couple of months now that the GOPe is not interested in repeal, only revision, of Obamacare. And the more pain points they can resolve by this sort of under-the-radar revision, the less likely they will be forced to repeal it altogether.
GOPe is SPINELESS. They are so comfortable in their appeasement and second-tier power - the loyal-yet-timid opposition to evil, they would rather fight tooth and nail against conservatives than democrats.
They speak about and approach the [ooga booga] potential repeal of the this hateful law as if it were an Amendment to the US Constitution, irreproachable and impossible to do away with except under the most stringent and complicated procedures, when in fact it is just another law no more immutable than any other. It is a myth and a calculated characterization meant to demoralize opponents who don’t fully recognize that NO Congress can enact a law that binds another future Congress from acting to the contrary.
It is just a matter of determination and will. And, in my opinion, our Republican leadership has neither, save that needed to save and feather their own personal nests.
