I'll play: 6 is a given, 3 is on the table but wouldn't be easy. The rest range from unlikely to impossible.


3 is on the table but wouldn't be easy

It would seem with a republican congress that it would be easy. Why do you think otherwise?


Democrats can still filibuster a repeal as republicans won't hold a supermajority in Senate.


Reconciliation is filibuster-proof, They don't have to repeal it, just defund it.

Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconciliation_(United_States_...


The rest of the republic party is going to be less eager to burn everything to the ground. There's a chance that they'll choose to just ignore obamacare as there's not much to be gained by attempting to repeal it.


Why wouldn't 3 be easy, given the makeup of the Senate and House?


The hard part will be "and here's our alternative!"


Because it's already in place, and some of those folks in the House and Senate might want to get elected again.
