You're thinking too hard.... or perhaps not hard enough.


You can have something that is not working well (ACA) but provides a basic level of service that can't be just stopped cold turkey without making things even worse for some.

Let's say I run a soup kitchen, but I'm not very good at it. I offer food with poor nutritional value and we often run out of food before everyone can be fed. But some people ARE being fed, it's just substandard food and others get turned away. It's a situation that needs fixing, but simply shutting down my soup kitchen while we figure out and implement a better option would make things worse for some people.

You're searching too hard for a "gotcha" in Ryan's comments that's just not there.
