A fair number of Republican voices have been quietly (and not-so-quietly) backing certain provisions of the ACA. During the campaign, the slogan was "I will repeal Obamacare on my first day in office."
As though that was possible for a president to do on his or her own.
Now, we are hearing various people, such as Reps. Roe and Price, out in support of certain specific provisions.
What I'd like to know is how they propose to have a "replacement" for Obamacare ready within several weeks in the event it is overturned by SCOTUS. That legislation took months and months of bipartisan bickering, stakeholder meetings and alliances, and various promises to develop the first time.
I can only think that this "replacement" will be either a shell game, a test vote, or both.
Also, don't forget it would have to pass the Senate as well.
Lots of luck there.
