Republicans Abandon Their Fight to Repeal Obamacare

“One of the most revealing debates in the Republican Party is one that has disappeared from the campaign trail: the fight over repealing Obamacare,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“This presidential election marks the first in more than a decade in which no GOP candidates are pledging to eviscerate the landmark Affordable Care Act, ending a standoff between the parties over whether the government is responsible for providing access to healthcare.”

“When it comes to medical coverage, at least, the debate is largely settled: Americans want their government to help, rather than leaving it to insurers and market forces to try to provide the best coverage for the most people.”
