From what I can tell, the conservative solution is very much like Obamacare. That’s why they have proposed it so many times before. However, we have wandered into a Twilight Zone where up is down, black is white, etc. When Mitch McConnell said that the GOP’s top priority was to make Obama a one term president, they turned their backs on their real responsibilities. As Joe Biden said, this is a big fucking deal. Obamacare’s success could make Obama a two term president, and the GOP has explicitly stated that they will burn the entire country to the ground in order to prevent that.
