From Ted McLaughlin at jobsanger:
The Republicans in Congress are quickly acting to repeal the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), or at least defund it (which would effectively kill it). They have been lying about the program since it was passed, but what they still fail to realize is that most Americans don’t want the program repealed. People understand that the program is not perfect, and most just want it fixed — not repealed.
One aspect of Obamacare that Republican officials dislike the most is the providing of subsidies to help Americans buy health insurance. Once Obamacare is defunded, or repealed, this aspect would disappear — and over 20 million Americans would lose the health insurance they have been able to get under Obamacare.
But the public does not want the subsidies to disappear.
