But, when your out and about, just ask a few "Average Joes" what they think of it. I'll save you a lot of time-----They're ignorant. All they know is that some asshat rightwing pundit told them it's "So(c)ialism".

Even my boss, whom I like, respect and regard as decent, hardworking guy, who put his son (23 yrs. old) on his healthplan the instant he could...Is completely opposed to ACA. I asked him if he knew the "under 26" part came from ACA.....He didn't. Management told them it was ".....something new in the insurance plan." When I told him about all of the other things you described above, I got, "Yeah, well fuck that Obamacare shit anyways.".

This is the reality of our times, my good man. The GOP could simply take PPACA as it is, rebadge it as "The True Patriot Great American Eagle Health Plan" (Or some hokey, pseudo-patriotic crap like that.) and walk away smelling like a rose. Thier starry-eyed acolytes thanking devine providence for sending Mitt to save them from the Totalitarian So(c)ialist......

And, I'm thinking that that, to some degree, is exactly what they plan to do.

Good post, though I doubt that the GOP will be successful putting together any comprehensive package, even if they're allowed to plagiarize (their own plan, ironically enough). They may pass a tidbit or two, but that may be all they can get through.
