    That is the favorite play in the greedy bastard corporatist playbook: make a public program so unwieldy, ineffective, and expensive that the public will be glad it’s replaced with something else. That’s how they killed public transportation in this country. That’s the plan for public education.

    They impatiently tried to kill the beast in one swoop, and found they couldn’t, so they will take the time-worn, long term strategy.

    Yeah, that’s the SOP for situations like this.

    According to the article, 2 out of 3 people surveyed in a Kaiser Foundation poll said they’d hold Trump and the Republicans responsible if the ACA went tits up.

    I hope that’s true.
