So they will continue to try to screw with the funding but it's never going away now.

And any Americans who vote for some Senate or House candidate because he/she has promised to repeal Obamacare is a straight up sucker. The Ted Cruz's and Fred Upton's and any other GOP members of Congress are playing their constituents for suckers when they promise repeal of the ACA to whore up votes knowing all the while tkhat they can't ever keep the promise.
You're correct, PPACA will not be repealed. The party which can best articulate it's transition into single payer will be the winner.

As is, PPACA is simply eliminating the middle class, in particular the lower middle class. The people who have to write a check for all of this bullshit.

The Democrats are catching hell for taking a bad situation and making it worse...as they should. I'll admit, going from for profit health insurance to universal coverage is dificult, and will have to be handled in steps.

But this is a pretty piss poor first step.
