      HC policy is hard so GOP should just give up and accept Obamacare, argues my friend @mattklewis , unconvincinglyhttp://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2017/01/25/maybe-on-obamacare-republicans-should-just-punt.html?via=desktop&source=twitter …

      Not trying to RINO-troll, but would be legit interested in how you reconcile this tacit pro-Obamacare position w/ conservatism

      Obamacare is very bad. My concern is that it is nearly unfixable given the political realities. The GOP must be very careful.

          I think there's a danger for pundits of morphing into political strategists. My goal is to have as free a HC system as possible

          We share the same goal. I set out to write a different piece. But I have to be honest with my readers.

          You can be honest about political challenges while also arguing they're worth the risk for ppl that actually care about HC

          that is true, too, Ed. W/out calling for repealing Ocare, GOP doesn't takeover House or Senate.

          not to try to figure out what HC strategy would be the best politically for GOP
