I don't agree with just about everything Senator Ron Johnson has to say, but this is very encouraging news for the survival of Obamacare.
It appears some GOP Senators are realizing that repealing Obamacare, throwing millions off their healthcare and exploding the debt by $9 trillion won't go over well with millions of Americans.
The reality of repealing the healthcare of up to 30 million people is starting to kick some GOP arse. It also appears Democrats holding strong and saying they will not bail out the GOP if they repeal is working.
Senator Johnson specifically mentions Senator Schumer’s refusal to work on any replacement, if Obamacare is repealed. If they repeal it, they own the cluster f**k.
Keep up the pressure folks!

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said that Republicans should aim to "repair" Obamacare and return power back to the states so that Americans have a better chance at accessing insurance coverage at an affordable price.
"We'll seek to repair it so the public can use it. Nobody wants to pull out the rug from anybody else," Johnson told reporters.
"It's gonna take some time. We are probably going to need help from Democratic colleagues so let's start seeking that help right off the bat. Let's start voting on some of these elements."
"We need to understand what the whole package is," Johnson said. "How do we get votes for replace? I take Sen. Schumer at his word that if we vote repeal , they're not going to help us at all. That means we are going to have a hard time getting replacement."
