Obamacare is no longer mentioned in the campaign trail, as Republicans abandon their more than decade-long campaign to repeal Obamacare.
NBC News reported:
Republicans are abandoning their long crusade to repeal the Affordable Care Act, making the first 2022 election in more than a decade that will not be fought over whether it will protect or reverse President Barack Obama’s landmark achievement.
A waning desire to repeal means that the law — which has expanded health care coverage for millions of people and withstood numerous near-death experiences in Congress and the courts — now appears safer than ever.
…
“I think he’s likely to stay here,” said Senator John Cornyn, a Texas Republican, a close ally of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, and a former head of the GOP’s campaign arm.
Not only did the Democrats protect Obamacare, but under Biden, they expanded it and made health insurance more affordable.
Progressives can continue to fight for a single payer system because Obamacare raised the baseline for health insurance in the United States.
The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) has been consistently popular because the American people love the law and the means to protect it.
Trump tried to sabotage the anti-corruption law after John McCain prevented him from killing her. McCain’s surprise late-night vote on the Senate floor in 2017 seemed to take all the air out of efforts to repeal Obamacare.
Talk about repealing Obamacare is now poisonous, for Republicans talking about getting rid of Social Security and Medicare.
Democrats fought hard to protect Obamacare for more than a decade, and Republicans finally conceded defeat.
