Question: How do you get rid of Obamacare or The Affordable Care Act while saving face? During Trump's reign between 2016 and 2020 he and the GOP tried to jettison Obamacare but were unable to do so. But with so many depending on Obamacare including Trump and the GOP supporters, getting rid of Obamacare is not so easy legislatively as this would make them unpopular. So they are now using strategy and tactics to kill Obamacare. By not including government subsidies they have driven up the cost of Obamacare and therefore many people are dropping their health plans acquired through Obamacare. So then if you cannot afford the plan why require people to have health insurance? That's the idea here. The GOP dies not need to have a vote to end Obamacare they just need to find a way to drive up the cost so that the law becomes irrelevant and unpopular so that it becomes easy to get rid of the requirement and therefore the act.

This was a genius plan that may work, however, the middle class will pick up the slack and this may backfire.
