If Rubio becomes president, will he gut or change Obamacare?

[Coolface Sock #42069]

Yes, a Republican president with Republican majorities in both houses of Congress would be under such intense pressure from the grassroots that he would have no choice but to either repeal Obamacare or risk the most formidable primary challenge to an incumbent president since Reagan in 1976 and a very possible schism within the party leading to a mass exodus on the part of either establishment Republicans or conservatives.

If Republicans elect a president in 2016, Obamacare (or at least the parts that can be repealed through reconciliation) will be repealed. It's whatever it gets replaced with that Republicans should be worried about at that point.

And unlike Obamacare, any problems with the new law will be Republicans' fault, so they'd better choose wisely.
