  1. What part? Look, ObamaCare was passed by Congress, was affirmed as Constitutional by the Supreme Court, and then VOTED on in 2012, as a primary issue in the presidential election.

Fix the things that don't work as they're supposed to.

    Millions upon millions of dollars have been spent in a concerted effort to sway public opinion against the ACA. It worked. People hate it. But when they are asked about specific parts of it, they love it. Personally, I've seen no change. I'll let you know if I ever do have personal experience with it.
