The only part of this that makes me "unhappy" is if it means the Republicans actually give up and move on to the thing they actually want to tackle.... tax "reform" (if you thought cutting Medicare to give the rich tax breaks was trickle down economics, you ain't seen nothing yet!)

This healthcare issue has become so politicized that everyone lost sight of what's important.
Obama care isn't good, and there are absolutely better alternatives. Instead of coming up with one, politicians and media are making this a socially dividing issue, disregarding the fact that the current system is far from perfect.

These public servants who are supposed work for the people are refusing to do their jobs so they can polarize the issue in a metaphorical pissing match.

You see, the problem is all of the better alternatives are more liberal and have greater government involvement than Obamacare, so it's a non-starter for the people in control of all branches of the government right now.
Once again...Obamacare was originally a CONSERVATIVE plan back in the '90's from the Heritage Foundation, back before the entire Republican party went off the deep end.
Gonna be pretty much impossible to "move to the right" for a new plan w/o it being completely horrible.
