OBAMACARE REPEAL IS MORE LIKELY, and the GOP needs an alternative.

[C]onservatives should push Republicans to have an alternative plan ready to pass should the Supreme Court strike down the federal subsidies — a decision that should come by late June.

If Republicans do not have an alternative to present when confronted by the political backlash, they will most assuredly buckle. Putting Republican leaders on record supporting one of the key aspects of Obamacare would almost certainly extinguish any glimmer of hope for repeal.

ObamaCare will surely die; if not by the Supreme Court, then by 1000 cuts. Republicans need to take the initiative and prepare the battlefield starting now.
