The battle lines are drawn between the Republican leaders in Congress who now want to delay a repeal until after the 2018 election and far-right congresspeople who want to eliminate the much maligned health care legislation right away.

Shortly after his stunning electoral upset, President-elect Donald Trump appeared to walk back his most ambitious campaign promise: full repeal of Obamacare within his first 100 days in office. Trump told The Wall Street Journal he would like to keep popular sections of the law, for example, that require insurers to cover people with preexisting conditions as well as the part that allows for children to remain on their parents’ policies until age 26.

Congressional Republican leaders followed up on Trump’s sudden shift away from a hurried repeal of Obamacare by warning that replacing it with something else could take years. Politico reported last week that Republican lawmakers have been considering immediately repealing the law but delaying the ushering in of its replacement for three years:

They’re crossing their fingers that the delay will help them get their own house in order, as well as pressure a handful of Senate Democrats — who would likely be needed to pass replacement legislation — to come onboard before the clock runs out and 20 million Americans lose their health insurance. The idea is to satisfy conservative critics who want President Barack Obama’s signature initiative gone now, but reassure Americans that Republicans won’t upend the entire health care system without a viable alternative that preserves the law’s popular provisions.

1. So it's GOP blackmail, holding 20 million peoples healthcare as hostage

That sounds just like the way the Republicans operate these days

Yeah, I'm sure that will end well

Dems better take notice of this and be ready (especially Dems in the senate)
