Just repeal the thing

For six years Republicans ran for Congress on a pledge to repeal Obamacare, and they were elected. Now all of a sudden the mantra is “repeal and replace.” The voters never said anything about replacing Obamacare with another government health-care system. The federal government should not be running health care.

Please, congressional Republicans, just repeal it. If we need to work on getting low-income people some help to buy insurance, we can do that, but first keep your promise and repeal Obamacare. If this were actually about health care, then Democrats would be joining this effort after seeing what an abysmal failure Obamacare has been. But I think it’s more about power and control than health care.
