Obamacare is a complete disaster from the website to the rising premiums, the lack of choice, and the worthless deductibles. Despite that, the Democrat Socialists want to save it. This is their path to Single Payer.
Obama met with congressional Democrats Wednesday and gave them tips for keeping the Republicans from dismantling Obamacare.

Democrats were advised to talk up his signature health care law.
Members who were in the Democratic meeting said Obama urged lawmakers not to help Republicans pass a replacement plan and encouraged them to refer to any replacement as “Trumpcare.”
Obama told them their job was to talk about the value the law has to the country and to focus the attention on the positive aspects. “The Affordable Care Act is more popular than President-elect Trump would like to believe,” he said.
That is undoubtedly true of the 80% of Obamacare recipients and the Medicaid patients who get subsidies and free healthcare respectively at everyone else’s expense because of an unsustainable program.
Sen. Manchin said his state won’t like it.

Obama was clever, giving subsidies to an outrageously large number of people. Once people are on the dole, it’s hard to convince them to think of the greater good.
Manchin says he told Pence that WV voters benefited from Obamacare.

“The president said he was envious of us that we are still in the arena. I look forward to defending the Affordable Care Act,” one congressmen said of Wednesday”s meeting with the president.
Obama likely wanted a third term.
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., gave reporters a soundbite after the meeting with Obama and called the reconciliation bill a “Trojan horse” that would result in tax cuts for the wealthy and premium hikes.
“The Republican plan to cut heath care wouldn’t make America great again, it would make America sick again and lead to chaos instead of affordable care,” Schumer told reporters.
This is the new slogan Obama gave the Democrat Socialists.

“The American people may want the law improved but the majority of them don’t want repeal,” he said.
How can they have a plan to put in place when Trump isn’t in office?
The online poll didn’t go well for Marsha Blackburn but it was a small number of respondents. The liberals were probably told to respond. It’s best to ignore all the chaos the Democrats will try to cause and just fulfill the promises Trump and the GOP made. It’s their only shot.

Repeal is already in motion. Republicans on Tuesday introduced a spending measure that will allow them to defund portions of Obamacare through a procedural tool called budget reconciliation, which requires approval of a simple majority rather than the 60 votes typically needed to pass most legislation in the upper chamber. Republicans plan to send the bill to Trump’s desk by Feb. 20.
Trump will sign it.
