Actually, the core of Obamacare (the individual mandate) is a conservative-invented concept promoted by the Heritage Foundation and others as a panicked response to Bill Clinton's idea of universal coverage at the time.

Republican Mitt Romney implemented a similar version of Obamacare on a state level when he was MA governor, which has led to better health outcomes and lower rates of personal bankruptcies.

That the GOP are hell-bent on getting rid of an idea from their own side of politics just shows how bereft of ideas they are, and how hung up on Obama Derangement Syndrome.

They'd ought to be careful because by getting back at the black guy they still hate so much, they might just start the ball rolling for universal coverage again - which won't please either their insurance corporate donors or Supply-Side Jesus.

The GOP, McCain especially, are the ones attempting to keep Obamcare.

Seems to be working, so Obamacare either succeeds or fails and Obama gets plaudits or brickbats. I'm backing it collapsing so I would rather it remains his signature policy rather than allowing blame to be placed elsewhere.
