True!
My first reaction was : what gossip is going around congress to create this atmosphere of “getting out while the getting is good”?

Iow what don’t they want to be a part of?

Well, I think on the one hand that NONE of them really want to repeal Obamacare, except Cruz, Lee, and Jim Jordan and a handful of others. Part of it is this Washington culture that says you can't "repeal" anything they once passed. After all, it's the law. Part of it is that they don't want to be on the wrong side of the media blitz that will come at them if/when they do get serious about repealing Obamacare. Some of it is that there are a few RINOs who are in bed with the docs and insurance companies.

But they know this is a disaster of the highest magnitude, up there with the Sherman Silver Purchase Act that caused the Panic o 1893 and the Smoot-Hawley Tariff that helped plunge us into the Great Depression. So they don't see a way to win long term.
