It is obvious and also sad that a main goal of the republican right is to get rid of the Affordable Care Act because it is commonly known as Obama Care. The other goal is to accommodate a tax cut for the wealthiest Americans.

I recall seeing a series of street interviews in Texas asking a few dozen people the same question but worded differently: One time calling it the ACA, the other Obama Care. Amazingly almost 90% supported the ACA while only 30% supported Obama Care.

It would be far easier and much wiser to tweak existing legislation than to pass a new act if the goal was just to fix a problem.

Some day politicians will realize providing Universal heath care would actually be cheaper than the health care system (s) that they currently are fighting about.

The Insurance lobby will fight tooth and nail to preserve their enterprises, of course, but they will inevitably be recognized as a deterrent not a solution.
