No More Bogyman.

       Have you ever bought a new pair of shoes and felt as though the shoes didn't fit right? How about six months later? Now they fit very comfortably, right? Well it looks like the Affordable Care Act, Obamacare, is feeling a lot like those new shoes. Now that folks have been using it for a while, insurance companies, hospitals, patients, pretty much everybody is happy with it. At least happy enough that they don't want to take a chance on what the Republicans might rush through Congress.
       That's because its so hard to please everybody, even all Republicans. it's the kind of problem Obama had in passing the thing in the first place. And that's why Republicans are starting to talk about REPAIRING Obamacare. Because repairing is a lot easier and a lot less scarier than replacing. According to an article in the New York times, the Republicans won't have anybody on their side to replace bur almost everybody on their side to repair.
       It's kinda odd to hear Republicans say the word repair instead of replace. Even though it rolls off the tongue as easily as replace, repair still is a little like changing from we're gonna win to we hope to tie. The really funny thing is, though, repairing Obamacare is what nearly everybody wanted in the first place, even Obama.
       But Republicans kept demanding that it be repealed. Then it quickly became repeal and replace. More than sixty times. Then when they finally got control of everything, they began to see how difficult it would be to replace with something that worked as well, or even half as well as Obamacare, for all its problems. There's no quick fix for anything, so lets hope they can take their time and make good corrections to the plan and get more states and hardcore Republicans to sign on.
