It isn’t because they did not try, Marge…

Almost as if they never actually had any ideas for something better but a subset of establishment Republican legislators instinctively understood that taking away millions of Americans’ existing healthcare would be a bad strategic move.

living people = voters, marge. dead people (except in a few cases) ≠ voters. it seems a concept so simple even you could understand it.

angry that her party didn’t snatch health insurance away from her voters
She understands her voters very well: they’re death cultists. It’s not a sustainable base to count on in the long run but she’s taking things one election at a time.

Let’s see, they voted on repealing it something like 70 times during Obama’s two terms, every time knowing they didn’t have anywhere close to the votes necessary.
Isn’t that kind of childish performative politics good enough for her?

they should have at least repealed it!"
What does “at least” even mean in this context?
At least: Repeal Obamacare
At the midpoint: End health insurance for everyone?
At the maximum: Sharks, deer, and other critters with frickin laser beams?
Eh?

You know Marge; that’s the kind of thing you work on in committee. What you mean is “I didn’t repeal it.”
And you really don’t want to. Your voters would find out how it would hurt them afterwards.

I wonder if they’re paying attention to the whole overturn Roe thing.
In other words they could always campaign on overturning Roe but now that it’s happened they’re seeing the consequences.
Same thing with Obamacare repeal, they can campaign and raise money on the slogan but if it actually ever happens without a better solution they know the millions of people that have come to rely on the ACA will turn on them pretty fast.
If however they don’t lose any ground this November they may just keep going. I’m hoping the November results will put the fear of voters back in them.

They could have just voted for the health care plan Trump wrote, that’s being revealed two weeks from now.

This woman is seriously twisted. What’s her healthcare plan? Can plain old American citizens get the congressional plan like she has? That would be nice.
