Support for Obamacare is at an all-time low, we don't know how many who signed up will pay (especially when premiums go up in a couple of months), lots of people lost their doctors and their plans and wanted to keep them and are angry, and the law seems to be doing nothing to keep costs down.
actually, support has surpassed opposition for at least the last few polls from pretty much all of the major polling places. if we use the phrase "Affordable Care Act" in place of "Obamacare" it's above 50% for most of the country. people may be mad now, but it's only the first 6 months since implementation. it took 3 full years before all the bugs were ironed out of Medicare part D, and i doubt you'd find many who have it who would say it should be repealed and/or replaced. and remember too, part D was rolled out and supported by both parties, despite dem opposition to the bill in congress.
i'm sure most republicans don't consider themselves to be heartless and evil, but the politicians who represent them surely can't deny it. paul broun has said Obamacare is "the destruction of everything"; cathy mcmorris-rodgers trotted out some lady in response to the State of the Union speech who is so blinded by republican ideology that she refuses to see for herself that not only will she save money on the insurance exchange, but her coverage will actually improve with a new plan. republicans continue to lie and obfuscate across the board, but you would have everyone believe that they have everyone's best interests at heart with respect to this? give me a break...
and you're still giving the same lame excuses that have been offered for the past 4 years without any real substance -- get rid of Obamacare, replace it with something which is pretty much just like Obamacare and does the exact same thing but somehow is different. consider in republican strongholds like alabama and mississippi, having a yearly income of under $16k is considered too wealthy to get a health insurance subsidy. i would really like to meet someone who makes $16k per year who can afford to go see a doctor without insurance.
then we have the example of kentucky, in which 2/3 of the people who were previously uninsured now have coverage. yet their senior senator, mitch mcconnel, says he would prefer to repeal it because he thinks they shouldn't be allowed the coverage they now have. what will he replace it with? nobody knows, because he has no plan other than "repeal, repeal, repeal". the House has already wasted some $74 million with repeal votes and republicans have actively cheered for this law to fail. the fact that the sign up goal was reached in the face of this opposition just shows how successful it will be, and it will be so despite your best efforts to derail it.
