Why Replace Obamacare?

Now that it seems as if Obamacare may be gutted after all, if opponents win their current Supreme Court battle, it is said that Republicans may have to come up with a replacement. Our question is, why?

Because that's how government works. An idea get forced onto the people, the opposition bemoans the force then later descends to the mire themselves. That's how most government expansion occurs. Once some heretofore unknown or unwanted program get put in place it simply can't be taken out of place.

It's an idea which boggles the mind quite frankly, especially if as seems to be the case that the view of Obamacare is at the least ambivalent and at the most downright hostile. Why would either party or political group want to see anything so either divisive or yawn inducing remain?

We wonder whether it's misplaced perception, or worse. Is it that the GOP fears that the electorate once having had to deal with the health care initiative will come to like it? They think that maybe familiarity will breed not contempt but acceptance, even reluctantly?

If that's the case, that's no way to lead. No wonder too many voters see the major American political parties as interchangeable.
