just to be clear: i would be in favour of repealing obamacare, too.

.....and replacing it with single payer.

but, the purpose of obamacare was to destroy the movement for single payer.

the repeal makes no sense. not from the republicans. it might make sense for democrats to repeal it, but it's exactly what the republicans want.

put another way: obamacare may very well be the single greatest victory of the american right since the end of communism.

in repealing it, they'd be handing the issue back to the democrats and blowing a hole in their feet. because let me tell you this much: democrats will not fall for the mandate a second time. next time, it's single-payer or bust.
