The GOP’s Health Care Dilemma

There are dilemmas and then there are real dilemmas. On health care, Republicans are in a real dilemma.

Congressional Republicans promised their base a million times that they would repeal and replace the much-despised (by the GOP base) Affordable Care Act. No ambiguity whatsoever. In the House, they voted over 60 times to repeal the ACA, though the replace part was a little vague. Now that Republicans occupy the White House and hold majorities in the House and Senate, the Republican base would be rewarded with repeal of Obamacare, right?

But here comes the dilemma. CONT.
