A lot of pearl clutching going on there bhunter.
Obama bent over backwards to appease the right and work with them. He caved to Senate Republican demands on almost every bill that came up for a vote that got passed.
The ACA was almost 100% Republican proposals in the past including the mandate. Large parts of it were written by the Heritage Foundation. Hardly a liberal group of folks.
Many good things are already implemented, like the elimination of the "doughnut hole" which dropped seniors prescription costs by 50%. No more lifetime limits, denial or dropping of coverage for preexisting conditions, college age and young job seekers can stay on their parents policy to the age of 26, the cost to care ratio is now set at 80/20 for small insurers and 85/15 for large insurers. Before, it was more like 45/55 or 30/70. No cost wellness check ups, no cost cancer screenings, more low income children covered. The list goes on.
Now you can tell me what Republicans plan to replace ACA with once it is gutted. You know, "repeal and replace". What is the Republicans plan. Soaring healthcare prices are not going to magically fix themselves.
I already posted this but I am going to do it again.
