Thing is Obamacare is for the most part, a Republican plan. They couldn't pass it and let Obama get a win. They had to act as though this plan was a product of liberal Democratic minds. As it is Obama had to make deals with pharma he didn't want to get it passed. As without them it would not have passed. So you have Republicans who want it gone simply to take away a Democratic victory, and you have pharma and as well as the insurance companies lining pockets to protect their profits. Just who is really looking out for the average American citizen?
Long term projections are guides. That's it. If congress cannot get their collective asses together and work on what's best for the country it won't matter if Obamacare stays in place.
