File it under, 'be careful what you wish for',
as the Repubs have bitched about Obamacare, BUT, millions of recipients(R) LIKE it, and the horror stories of huge price increases (they've actually slowed down) and a shut down in services haven't materialized, as the typical Repub scare tactics are shown to be a bunch of BS.
It's a truism in politics, espoused by Republicans and Democrats alike, that it's awfully hard to take away government benefits once they've been offered. In the case of the Affordable Care Act, repeal would mean yanking health coverage from more than 16 million people who didn't have it before, between those who now get subsidies for private health insurance and those who gained access to Medicaid coverage via the law's expansion of that program to more low-income adults.
SOOO, now we'll see if the Repubs want to commit political suicide by yanking benefits from those who need AND like them. What's a poor Pub to do???
