Throughout his campaign for president, Donald Trump promised his supporters that, because it was such total disaster, he would repeal Obamacare on day one.
His supporters, apparently unaware that the Affordable Care Act, whose benefits they were glad to have, and Obamacare were the same thing, were glad he was getting rid of it, well, just because.
Many may also have been blinded to learning, or even accepting reality because they opposed anything President Obama accomplished, even those things that were good for them.
There was a reason the people who opposed Obama liked to snarl the name “Obamacare” while not mentioning the ACA.
His first promise to rid us of it on day one went through an evolution as he added there would be a replacement to implement, which went from being one that would be immediate to one that would replace it within hours, perhaps on the same day, maybe in a few days, or in time.
It was becoming changing the coin flip to “the best three out of five” and then “the best five out of seven” when making a decision.
The evolution continued when he explained that once it was repealed the GOP who, while having attempted to repeal it over the seven years of its existence and claiming there should be another, better plan somehow, neglected to have come up with said plan, would come up with one.
In the meantime they would keep Obamacare in place as is until the new plan, which you would think they had been working on, would be worked on, and finalized. They had seven years after all.
And now we have the latest.
They have realized that to repeal Obamacare without leaving millions of people without health insurance was not as easy as they led people to believe it would be.
Trump has now said,
“It’s in the process and maybe it will take till sometime into next year, but we are certainly going to be in the process. It’s very complicated”.

“I would like to say by the end of the year, at least the rudiments,” Trump has said.
Republicans in Congress now seem to be calling back their rhetoric surrounding the health care law.
Republican Lamar Alexander, chairman of the Senate health committee, has said he would like to see fixes made to the current individual market before repealing parts of the law.
“We can repair the individual market, which is a good place to start,” he said on February 1.
And, he also thinks parts of the health care sector, like Medicare, Medicaid and the employer market should be left alone.
Now that the unending yelling, lies, hyperbole, and meanness of the Trump campaign have settled down, and people are beginning to think, polls are showing that more people view Obamacare more favorably than they did before the election.
Now Republicans are beginning to talk about repairing the current system.
It was a given even as the law was passed that with time the Affordable Care Act would need some tweaking, but that reality was lost to politics and in the GOP’s expressed aim to have President Obama fail.
House Speaker Paul Ryan insists, however, that repairing the health care system means. “You must repeal and replace Obamacare.”
Of course he was one of those intent on repealing and replacing, but in the 7 years he went on and on about that, he forgot his mantra had two parts and never came up with even a blueprint on a napkin for the replacement.
Turns out it is one thing to criticize and make the promise that get votes; it’s another to deliver.
And it is hard to deliver when you do not know what you are doing.
