The Republicans were unanimous in their insistence that Obamacare was shoved down their throats, was indicative of America going socialist or communist, and that they could do it better. They've had 8 years and they do not agree on how it could be done better, with more than a few now vying for 'improvements to Obamacare' rather than repeal and replace and more than a few others insisting that this Obamacare-lite plan doesn't go far enough.
So, please, the hollow promise of a fast, beautiful, radical change in healthcare came from candidate and newly-elected President Trump himself, over and over and over.
Anyway, we have no choice but to wait and watch people from the same party battle it out and hope they can agree on something that doesn't end up hurting more than helping as compared to Obamacare. That doesn't mean we, as vested parties, should refrain from critique in the meantime or that people who are benefiting from Obamacare shouldn't keep showing up at Town Halls to voice their concerns -- that's not gonna happen in this democracy. Get used to it.
