Yeah, if only republicans hadn't broke Obamacare to begin with, maybe you wouldn't have to deal with this shit.

Care to elaborate?

Obamacare is such a washed down version of what democrats worked for at the time. Many democrats wanted a federal public health insurance provider that could compete with the private companies to push the prices lower but this had to be cut in order to get the bill passed. There are probably many smaller amendments as well, though I'm not familiar with all of them.

Anyway, anything that is only half way either direction won't work. You have to take a full step towards your goal, you can't just slightly tilt forward. Which is what Obamacare became. And that's why it doesn't work.
