Why hasn’t the GOP attempted to repeal Obamacare since McCain’s death? Force the Dems to explain it during an election year. Could it be this is like open borders, a concept they claim to the voters they are against but quietly support for the big donors?
That’s exactly why. The Koch Bros. types agree with Soros more than they disagree. Socialized medicine, open borders, etc. They love it all.

Big business offloaded the cost of retirement on employees in the 1990’s and 2000’s when 401K and IRA plans replaced defined benefit pensions. Over time employer matches to 401K plans have been reduced or eliminated. The savings went to higher compensation for executives and the bottom line.
The hidden agenda of business today is to get out of the healthcare insurance business by having Congress pass single payer, government financed, medical insurance. Obamacare will not be repealed because it will ultimately be the foundation for single payer. Medicaid was expanded during the first round of Obamacare. When the Democrats regain power, expect Medicaid to be expanded again resulting in more people in government paid medical care. In addition, the first phase of “Medicare for all” will be implemented with employers and employees “voluntarily” paying into a government health insurance plan similar to Medicare. Employer contributions will be fixed so over time increasing costs are paid through higher employee premiums and government subsidies. The private insurance industry will go away since it will not be competitive with government subsidized “Medicare for all”.
Even if the GOP retains both houses of Congress, don’t expect another vote for full repeal of Obamacare. Don’t expect the wall to be funded either.
