As I've now been pointing out for the past few years, ObamaCare is here to stay!
Republicans give up on Obamacare repeal http://politi.co/2nwGJIr
"Most GOP lawmakers aren’t interested in another failed effort to gut the health law in an election year...Republicans are giving up on their years-long dream of repealing Obamacare.
Though the GOP still controls both chambers of Congress and maintains the ability to jam through a repeal-and-replace bill via a simple majority, there are no discussions of doing so here at House and Senate Republicans’ joint retreat at The Greenbrier resort. Republicans doubt they can even pass a budget providing for the powerful party-line “reconciliation” procedure used to pass tax reform last year, much less take on the politically perilous task of rewriting health care laws in an election year...Republicans' decision to abstain from another attempt at gutting Barack Obama’s health law — at least this year — goes back on a pledge the party has made to voters since 2010. And it underscores how Republicans overpromised in their ability to reform the nation’s health care and never fully recognized how divided the party is over key Obamacare planks like protecting pre-existing conditions and preserving the law’s Medicaid expansion.
And now the GOP is facing reality. Senate Republicans would struggle to pass a bill slashing at Obamacare under the best circumstances this year. They lost a Senate seat in Alabama in December and are down another vote as Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) undergoes cancer treatment. GOP leaders would rather put the debacle of last year’s failed attempt behind them."

I don't know what the jobless are going to do about health care but if more companies follow the lead of JP Morgan/Chase, Amazon.com, and Berkshire then affordable care might not be necessary any longer.

Maybe, but most folks don't work for major corporations and roughly 60% of those employed today have "gigs", that is they're not full time employees but "contractors" that don't receive benefits.

The JP-Amazon-Bershire venture should force the heath care companies to become more competitive. If the contractors and those who work for smaller companies and are a family of two or three and if they are purchasing car insurance every month why would then not also purchase medical insurance every month? I think the JP, Amazon, Berkshire venture will spread even to smaller companies eventually.

The Co-ops have almost all collapsed, the mandate is gone and people can't afford to use the insurance they have. It's a complete bust, it will collapse on it's own.
The worst piece of legislation in American history. It was a disasters based on a mountain of lies.

Then there's the mid terms and we'll see what they bring.

ObamaCare will collapse without massive welfare to insurance company. I thought liberals were against corporate welfare, especially to evil health insurance companies?
Another flip flop?
