Obamacare isn't failing. Any politician who says Obamacare is failing should be removed from office. It's not failing at all. I have the same exact healthcare I had before Obamacare, only I am paying a lot less for it. It is perfect? No, of course not. Fix what is broken.

It is failing for a lot of people. You and I are doing well on it because we live in states that have embraced it and are working hard to make it work, however, there are a lot of states that have very few choices and those that are there are very expensive. Other states have issues because insurers aren't making any money so they are pulling out (many of those are states that didn't expand Medicaid), and it has done nothing to curb the cost of the actual healthcare itself. It will only continue to get more and more expensive and many will eventually find themselves priced out of the market or in a place where there are no insurers selling through the exchanges.
Of course, it can be fixed and there is a group of bipartisan Senators who are working on that, but Republicans and Trump want to erase anything that has Obama's name on it and are so desperate to pass anything, they would rather pass a bad bill that will hurt a lot of people than do the right thing and risk actually agreeing with a Democrat.
