Here is a run-down on today's revelations about Obamacare
First of all, CNN has this item about how Democrats unanimously voted on that grandfather clause everyone is talking about.

(And that's from CNN!)
Today, Jay Carney is taking heat from ABC News White House reporter Jonathan Karl about the delays that are still affecting those who gave up on the roll out website and decided to call in or get a written application. Seems it still has to go through the clogged up toilet known as Health Care.gov. (Hurry up and wait.)
Then there is this from Fox News. You may lose more than your health plan and your doctor. Now some of the top hospitals in the country are saying no to Obamacare. That includes the Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic.

This cannot be fixed because it was a horrible idea in the first place. It needs to be repealed.

The content of the article does not match the data in its text. Some medical providers are very vaguely referenced as saying they would not accept patients under the terms of certain policies of certain private for-profit companies that may or may not be the only option, or any option, without the scope of the Affordable Care Act. Goebbelesque phrases like "won't accept Obamacare" betray gross ignorance of the mechanisms involved. Most of the problem, if any, is due to reliance on private insurance companies (which will do whatever they do, regardless of congress or patients or doctors), rather than providing a competitive public option.
Assuming, arguendo, that the current law is utterly unworkable, given that it was written to solve a very real problem, it would need to be replaced, not merely repealed. Repeal is the lazy man's approach. What Republicans have failed to do since circa 1993 is propose a viable alternative that would work better.
