Comment: Totally irrelevant to the bottom line though.  We can complain all we want about the process each side is using, but at the end of the day Obamacare was a 100% partisan law.  And as long as it's in place, it's doomed to fail because it will remain 100% partisan.  R's want nothing to do with furthering a 100% (D) law, and D's want nothing to do with repealing a 100% (D) law.

Which leaves only 2 options... repeal it outright (as R's should have done when they had the chance) and START OVER with something that has a chance to get bipartisan support (even if only 2 years from now); or leave it as is and let it die an ugly death.  R's failed to do what they should have done.  Now we're stuck living with this crappy thing.
