      I started trying to write a "How the GOP Can Fix Obamacare" column. But the more I learned, the more worried I got.http://thebea.st/2j3s5cd

      So you admit you have been criticizing it for years without doing the work to understand it? Isn't that pretty unprofessional?

      no, Obamacare deserves criticism. But fixing it is incredibly complicated and difficult.

          Right, but isn't there responsibility to understand consequences of full repeal *before* calling for full repeal, which you did for years?

          Don't u think that it's pathetic that you've had all this years and have just now figured this out?

          I agree that the ACA deserves criticism. But it seems like understanding trade-offs is a pre req to being a good critic

          Depends on what you're trying to fix. You can't have it all.

          Why? Fixing means keeping the ACA as a baseline and tweaking/reforming. Less complicated than starting from square one.

          we listen to the GOP tell how bad government is and then they go and prove it. #whiskeytangofoxtrotGOP

          for sure. It does no good for us to protect at all costs something that's broken.
