"House Republicans and the Trump administration on Tuesday filed a joint motion seeking to delay lawsuit proceedings that threaten to undo President Barack Obama's health care law, the Affordable Care Act"......Republicans: "classic Marxist strategy known as “heightening the contradictions,” in which you intentionally exacerbate the problems you’re criticizing the ruling powers for creating, in the hopes of bringing your revolution all the closer." Is going down in flames as they will own the disaster.

US News' link to this is bad, or their site is down, I even tried accessing through their website and that didn't work either. And on a lot of aggregators, the link is also bad.
Here's Talking Points Memo on topic:

Thanks. The WaPo writer comparing the past GOP strategy to sabotage Ocare being like 'classic Marxist tecnique' is so appropriate. I have been posting for a while the GOP is as rigidly ideological as Stalinists.
Trouble for them now is they own the ACA, for good or ill, and most lkely they will do immense damage.

I like this sub-headline over at Vanity Fair's The Hive:
The former House speaker “started laughing” when he heard Republicans’ plans.

Trump’s Health-Care Nightmare Is Only Just Beginning

Articles side-by-side on McClatchy's home page suggests more major walk-it-back acoming:
Most Americans don’t want Obamacare repealed, new poll finds
6:00 AMWhite House
Governors head for Washington, will press Trump on Obamacare repeal

We'll see how that works out. The republicans have stirred up the base for years over ACA repeal they may not be able to ratchet them back that easily. The other problem is it needs fixes. All the democrats know that and would have tried to fix it if not blocked by republicans. Will the republicans now do the fixing? I doubt it.

Exclusive: Leaked GOP Obamacare replacement shrinks subsidies, Medicaid expansion
The replacement would be paid for by limiting tax breaks on generous health plans people get at work.

My prediction: um doh limiting tax breaks to business IZ NOT GONNA WORK especially for GOP. They aren't gonna see that it's for the more generous plans (though that is a way to cut health care costs at large and bring down out-of-pocket medical care prices), those that have those plans are going to scream bloody murder along the lines of "this is why I voted for you?!!!

Accurate. The GOP's prime directive is to cut the ACA tax, 3.8%, on investments of the 1%. Put funding on the credit card.
The Republicans will cut the ACA taxes, and whatever funds they need for health care, the Wall, 10000 more federal ICE Gestapo, Trumps we need nukes, the invasion of Syria (to get the terrorists when they believe the whole country is terrorists) etc will be DEFICIT spending, when their voodoo economic plan of 4 1/2 % growth doesn't materialize (fake news!)
Ergo leading to the need to 'save' Medicare for under 50's with vouchers for Wall Strert for profits, and the necesdity to raise the SS retirement age to 69 or so and cut the COLA.

Wunderwaffe. The last ditch top secret GOP weapons that will save
FatherlandAmerica from the nightmare of Obamacare. And ensure 1000 years of GOP rule, or......at least save their butts thru the next election.by NCD on Fri, 03/03/2017 - 1:24am
Thought it was a hit single from Oasis. Von Braun probably left his stash of Wunderwaffen in N. Alabama at his fav rocket range at Redstone Arsenal for the Mercury/Saturn V programs, or maybe on the moon (Alice). Sweet Heimat Alabama.

Well, you gotta keep in mind that Obamacare is only a "subset" (read: bad stuff) of the Affordable Care Act ...
