    They have talked of repeal for 8 years, yet NOT one thought given to replacing it apparently !

    Re: Obamacare takes first real step closer to repeal after Senate vote

    I am a bit perplexed at why the Democrats haven't plastered the airwaves with ads this week telling the stories of people who whose lives have been saved by the ACA.

    Maybe they are short on funds.
    Or maybe content to watch republicans blow up the ACA and pay the consequences.
    Medicare for all?

    We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

    I can't imagine them hurting for money. I think it's probably a lack of organizational structure.

    If they are content to sit back and hope the repubs screw it up, they are doing those who rely on the ACA a disservice.

    They know they can't do anything to stop the "repeal", but I think they really want it to happen.  While the ACA has helped people, there are some serious financial issues coming in the near future. If the Republicans repeal it, those financial issues probably don't come to fruition and the Dems avoid all blame, and if the issues do happen the Dems can blame it on the repeal.  Then they hope the Republican's fail in their health plan and the Dems will point to all the people they helped and how it was better than what the Republican's did.

    Pure politics, plain and simple

    Seems EITHER would be considered political, would it not ?

    I'm not sure sure I follow, can you elaborate on what you mean when you say either would be considered political?  Are you referring to the Republican repeal and replace?

    What a sorry state this country is now in.  We may build a billion dollar wall but we cannot continue to provide health insurance for millions of the previously uninsured.

    I was referring to the taking to the airwaves that Lager alluded to vs
