Excellent news that this failed.

Obamacare needs to be reformed badly because it has significant flaws (massive price hikes) and not repealed and replaced.

Trump's not totally wrong though: The massive premium hikes are not going over well with the working class and it will depend on how effectively Republicans and Trump will tie this to the Democrats before the next elections. If Democrats don't find a proper message on their own they cannot simply rely on the Republicans to implode. They need to work for it and the best way to do so would be to find a bipartisan way to reign in the premium hikes. Otherwise it will really explode on the Democrats sooner or later because they are the architects of this ...

even if you would accept that you got a point, republicans control EVERYTHING and have chosen to change NOTHING.

there was a real price spike close before the election and NO ONE at all argues, that it has decided the election in any way.

i agree that the system must be fixed but without killing it and that can only be achieved if both sides agree on the need for fixing.

this is not about the skills of the democrats....it would say republicans would need an unbelievable amount of political capital to blame the minority successfully after years of total control.

didn't work in 2010 with much worse conditions, won't work in 2018/2020.

Oh, I definitely believe that the premium hikes brought out some additional Trump voters on election day. No way to prove this but it was certainly a part that enraged the Trump folk and a reason to keep Hillary out of the WH.
