- We get "radical reform"
This.
Let's not kid ourselves here: if Obamacare is completely thrown out, then people will be thrown off their insurance. Grannies will be killed. Many will be bankrupted. Rock bottom will be hit. People will start to really get the picture.
We'll then be left with a choice between (in all likelihood) Medicare for All or Trump's beautiful "plan" that will cover everybody & cost less money but he can't tell you any of the details.
As sad as it is to say, the price tag for Medicare for All may very well be the deaths of many people who benefit from Obamacare.
I think this is my department in terms of understanding how dynamic politics works.
Yes, if you push people to the extremes, then they will respond by embracing the solution whatever the cost. Even if it means President Sanders with a massive Democratic Majority.
This is why Republicans have handled the health care issue stupidly and it doesn't have to be this way.
There is presumption on the right that people like freedom for the sake of freedom itself, not because of the wealth, stability and success that America has also provided. If you take that away and proverbial speaking, keep boiling people alive, they will sacrifice anything to have that problem addressed. Hence you will end getting a result and they have only themselves to blame for all of this.
The right needs to learn to understand this again and realize that they need to put aside the tax cuts for everybody solution to every problem and realize 1. You have certain very real problems that people are concerned about such as health care and climate change and 2. You can address it your way in a manner that is less disruptive and also thus deprive the extreme left of the energy on which to ride to power, or you can let the steam pressure build until the boiler explodes and you staring up at a red flag with death goons around every corner.
The requirement though for number two to work is that it has to actually work, not in some damn textbook in a DC think tank but actually work on main street.
