Obamacare is more the best anyone could get through. I’d still rather that it be there until something better can take it’s place. For me, it qualifies as better than nothing. Your backing of better is fine, but goes nowhere until it is passed.
Congress is getting more partisan. People are caring more about balance of power and serving campaign contributors than serving the people effectively. The partisan divides between urban and rural, rich and poor, are becoming more significant, and with the cultural divides has come legislative divide. There are other areas I’d put the blame rather than generation mechanisms, but whatever floats your boat. That's one of the things I dislike about this forum, however. There are some contributors into prejudice and blaming groups. S&H offers new opportunities to break folks apart and build prejudice and hatreds.
Replacement can come at the same time as repealing. Repealing without replacement gives the opportunity for complete nothing. As bad as the current mess is, it can be made worse.
You can go on and press your identity as a black guy, but that’s just another form of identity politics. For me, if a door is close and locked, I’d as soon open it. If you don’t like it, let others walk through.
The spirals of rhetoric and violence are real. There is much to be learned from history, much to be learned of the present. I can sympathize with a goal of a meritocratic society, but it isn’t here yet and we still have work to get it done.

That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
