Conservatives have been pushing for the 2015 repeal bill, which kills the core elements of the law including its subsidies, taxes, mandates and Medicaid expansion, to be brought up again. But the move Monday night to oppose an effort if it falls short of that bill is a significant new development.
The GOP's lies, misinformation and scare tactics have finally come back to haunt them. A repeal would add to the deficit according to the Congressional Budget Office. Repeal would harm Medicare as the ACA extended its life for many years. Even their big whopper about death panels has come back to bite them. The #$%$ caucus only cares about their ideology and not about what is best for the country. Obama and the Democrats always maintained the ACA could be improved but the GOP was all about obstruction and demonizing Obama at every turn. These righty retards always chose power and politics over country.

And The Hill article you are relying upon contradicts your own claim.
"We're encouraging a replacement at the same time," Meadows said Monday.
I'm willing to discuss the possibilities of the situation but your MORONIC approach (to use your own term) helps no one.

.......want immediate repeal and an ACA replacement at a later date. However the GOP establishment and moderates want a replacement in place when it is repealed. So, would you like to take a bet that there will be no repeal but a tweaking of the current ACA which will then be renamed Trumpcare. You and your low info buddies won't know the difference.
The main problem the Freedom Caucus has with the Republican leadership is the Leadership wants the replacement to include more existing ACA features than the FC is comfortable with. Neither side is advocating for immediate repeal with no replacement lined up. Indeed there are some Congressman touting that or saying that but they are alone.
Your cartoon is appropriate as the existing ACA is a house of cards, getting ready to collapse under its own weight.
.........and in your face contradictions.
If they don't repeal Obamacare by March 31st and send the health care industry and 20 million people in to chaos!.
So it is karma for GOP leaders for their 60 attempts to repeal and now they have their balls on fire!
