Obamacare is failing. It has been in a death spiral for several years. If the GOP does nothing and it fails, will they still get the blame?

So, if the GOP just stands back, let's Obamacare continue into its death spiral, when it hits the ground, crashes and millions lose their health insurance, will the GOP get blamed? Despite the FACT that their inaction did nothing to affect Obamacare's crash?

You know the GOP would be blamed. So why can't you support their fixing it? Why is the left complaining, campaigning and protesting about the GOP trying to fix a failing and failed program?

    Not to worry, we finally have a leader now for the first time in 8 years. 0bamacare is getting repealed, and its replacement will work much better.

    All Democrats, and a lot of Republicans in case you missed it, are complaining about the replacement because it's inferior. It's so bad it's DOA. McConnell saying we'll just let Obamacare fail then is ridiculously childish. He's willing to put American health at risk just to make the Democrats look bad. WTF? Fix Obamacare for God's sake and stop this adolescent infighting. Americans are SICK of it.

    Yes, As I believe they RIGHTFULLY should. Republicans have control of BOTH Congress and the Senate. Enough so to do pretty much anything they want to pass. After bellyaching, also rightfully so, I think the Republican plan Paul Ryan is pushing STINKS. Seems to be most definitely pandering to the old stuffed shirts who have already sold us out for decades.

    I do not know about you sir, but, I voted for Trump because he WAS NOT a politician. I would like to see more first time politicians who have some BACKBONE. These politicians could NOT care less about the AMERICAN people, they ONLY care about their damn jobs. That SUCKS, because we get screwed AGAIN.

    I could smell the stench before the election, and did change my party affiliation after being a life long Republican. I am now INDEPENDENT.

    Edit : The Republicans have the opportunity to do some VERY great things for the American People. Sadly, it seems they are not interested in that.

    You claim "Obamacare is failing. It has been in a death spiral for several years" however much like the rest of the Trump supporters, you have absolutely no evidence of this "death spiral".

    Yes it has failed that is why Obama never fully implemented it. In 2015 Obama signed a bill that put another delay on implementing part of it, and the delay is not up until 2018. When the delay is up it is going to affect people with medical devices due to a tax to be stuck on it.

    Liberals are experts at ONE thing: Blaming conservatives for their policy failure.

  • 4 years ago

    If congress does not come up with a workable plan, yes, they will (and should) be blamed. Makes no difference if the congress is Dem or GOP majority, they are accountable to the voters.

    The Ryan plan will raise the cost of insurance, which is likely the only way any insurance plan can work, unless we go to a single payer program.

    Liberals refuse to admit that Obama Care is failing.

    Can you name even one instance where liberals have accepted blame for something? Of course the Republicans will be blamed - according to liberals it's already "their fault" for not passing the version their blessed and holy Obama wanted, and it will be "their fault" when that unsustainable version fails. For liberals, nothing is ever their fault, and that of course means someone else has to be blamed.

    Yeah, because something can be done to make it better and the GOP is not in favor of doing it.
