Andy McCarthy is dead on. It would be foolish to even go down this road. FULL REPEAL is the only thing that should be leaving the lips of Republicans:

NRO – Count me in the Erick Erickson camp when it comes to the Upton gimmickry – because, at best, that’s all it is. Republicans would make a big mistake backing it.

The GOP should not be working to “fix” Obamacare. That would just further tar Republicans as part owners of Obamacare. The should be working to scrap Obamacare now, while the political momentum is swinging to their side. Democrats are rightly starting to panic, so Republicans should be driving a hard bargain – push for repeal, settle for nothing less than delay. The last thing they should be doing is throwing endangered Democrats a lifeline to reelection in 2014.

Even if Obamacare were fixable and the GOP had an interest in helping fix it – and neither is the case – Rep. Fred Upton’s “Keep Your Plan Act” nonsense does not come close to being a fix. The Wall Street Journal’s editors acknowledge this morning that the bill is essentially pointless – even though they weirdly give Upton a tepid thumbs-up. Insurance companies have already done the years of planning that competent compliance with the “Affordable” Care Act called for, meaning they have shut down the plans and made new arrangements based on Obamacare’s extensive mandates. That process was and remains complicated and it cannot be undone on the dime. The health insurance plans that have been lost are gone. You won’t be able to “Keep Your Plan” if the plan no longer exists … unless, of course, you believe our Constitution allows Leviathan to order insurance companies to create and issue plans that were dropped precisely because of Obamacare – and we’ll get to that (i.e., Sen. Mary Landrieu’s plan) in a second.
