In reply to the discussion: Would we be better off with ACA repeal with no replace? [View all]Tatiana
(14,167 posts)27. Politically, yes. In terms of human care and dignity, no.
Democrats aren't the only ones with pre-existing conditions and adult children who need health services. Republicans, like David Jolly, would come to realize their faulty thinking and would probably see Democrats as their only hope for survival (much like in 2008, the economy was in such dire straights, they decided to take a change on Barack Obama).
However, a full repeal will lead to thousands of deaths. I couldn't possibly justify willfully letting that many people lose their lives without a fight.
