So many True Republicans are wailing and gnashing their teeth over an incomplete repeal of Obamunist Care that Trump is now behind.
Let me humbly suggest a better way to look at this:
Those or us disappointed with this partial repeal, although we are absolutely correct, should instead cheer it as "STEP ONE" and get to work on Steps 2 through....10?
The left didn't get to Obamunist Care outright. They had Medicare, Medicaid expansion, Medicare Part D, covering minor out of pocket stuff like birth control, covering this for this group and that for that group, etc.
Trump is a wheeler-dealer. We all knew that. He wants to partially repeal and declare some kind of victory.
How to handle that?
Get to work on a better bill that repeals more Obamunist crap, implements more market forces, brings health insurance costs down, avoids the "moral hazards" from "Pre-existing condition" caterwauling to demanding minor things like birth control be covered by insurance (gee-what would oil changes and car insurance cost if oil changes were paid by 3rd party car insurance?), and so on.
And pass it and let Trump bask in the glory of signing THAT.
And so on, and so on, and so on.
Yes, dishonest Demunists and wimpy RINOs/Cuckservatives/Vichy Republicans will always be in the way. Duh. We knew that from the get go.
Just repeat after me: STEP ONE.....
NOTE: Don't think "half a loaf is better than nothing", which implies we are done with it.
Think STEP ONE, which means another bill to undo more Obamunist damage. And another, and another.
Or think, "Get the ball rolling...."
