I don't see where Republicans can go with Healthcare [View all]

Has Obama checkmated them? Universal HC is the only thing that might save them but we know they won't go that direction. Are they just going to ram something unpopular through and take a hit? Scream that Obamacare is doomed so they had to fuck people over? Or just keep kicking the can down the road and say they couldn't come together on anything.
