GOP Must Improve Their Own Health Care Law

You need an answer to what created Donald Trump?

ObamaCare created him.  Well not directly but indirectly with all of the constant promises from republicans that kept telling us all how horrible it was for America and how much they promised....promised to rid America of the mistake the first chance that they got.  To date, while popular in consumption, ObamaCare still does not poll well in popularity which is primarily due to the smear campaign that republicans used to help them win a majority in both houses of congress during the last election.

Republicans have not won much against Obama during his presidency, so the past election victory represented a milestone opportunity to stick it to the man who had stuck it to them so many times before.  Since winning that election, Obama has stuck it to republicans more than ever before with an assist from the Supreme Court who decided that language created for ObamaCare was not intentionally designed to dismantle it at the same time.

Those who sold their republican constituents a bill of goods relative to dismantling ObamaCare had to know that they would be asked for a respectable alternative that has yet to be suggested.  Republicans point to a number of bills that died in the House and Senate designed to repeal and/or replace ObamaCare, but none of these bills would ever gain the support of a wide swath of congress who remained hesitant to incorporate universal health care prior to the election of Barack Obama, and still remain afraid of the blood they will bear if somehow paying for a healthy America goes bust.

Has the ObamaCare scare turned in the favor of Obama?

The only reason America realized the impossible dream of universal health care is because the president who signed it into law chose a plan crafted and proven by republicans themselves.  If America had endless possibilities to the trials that challenge our social conscience and direction we would pick them like wild flowers in the field.  Universal health care, like all socialized measures, took so long because it needed to for the sake of proper considerations and trial runs like Mitt Romney and Massachusetts offered with their version of the same system we all use now.  Romney knew at the time of his running for the presidency that RomneyCare needed a couple of basic tweaks in order to operate more smoothly but he couldn't offer them up freely in fear of supporting the cause of Obama.

Those basic tweaks are still required yet on a national scale now since RomneyCare got gobbled up by ObamaCare and federal inefficiency.  The benefit is guaranteed solvency at the state level thanks to federal support.  The detriment is everything we expected from the insurance industry who currently operates with embedded financial protections and old behaviors that have caused them to game the system instead of trusting that more customers is better in the long run than milking the few you have.  Competition will eventually drive these scammers away from the market place, but probably not without a little support from congress, possibly with the threat of, or an actual single payer health care system to correct old insurance habits.

Whatever the fix, the fix must happen to ObamaCare because it is a proven model that lives.  Any real replacement requires transition and further change towards something that is frankly unknown. What remains is a pretty good idea created by republicans who have allowed a democrat president to steal it away from them.    Obama would hardly care if republicans reminded us who created ObamaCare or fight the claim since he's not up for re-election anyway, though his legacy is tied to the future solvency of his signature health care legislation.  My approach (are you listening Jeb Bush) would be to reclaim it as a republican ideology that was implemented poorly by a democrat who stole the idea in the first place.

Is the Trump craze being lead
primarily by angry white men?

In fact, that is exactly what it is.  Furthermore, the lack of repeal or attack against it at all is the singular reason why republicans are pissed off enough to actually be voting for Donald Trump.  In reality, only the angry republicans are holding up Trump right now and his polling shows that he must capture a wider segment of republican voters to even continue on his primary path, which is likely the reason for his third party considerations.  Currently, he has sucked up the air that was supposed to be breathed by Rand Paul and Chris Christie, notorious blowhards who are sucking wind with the rise of Trump.

Republicans could really help themselves by pissing off Trump just enough to hasten that third party move he's considering, and then move to recapture the health care law that they created in the first place.  Until they do that, the Obamacare scare  that they also created will continue to haunt only one side of this fight.
