It didn't make sense they wouldn't find a way to do this, given so much pressure from Trumpeteers.

On a political forum of a sports site I posted late last year that repeal would be the equivalent of killing 200,000 people. Naturally the wing nuts attacked me. Over 10 years or so I don't think it's a flawed estimate, compared to Obamacare surviving intact with a Democrat in office.
