The scary thoughts about socialism you hear out of the Repugs today are the very same fears that they tried to instill when the Social Security bill came up for a vote, the same thing when the Medicare bill came up, the same thing when the ACA came up. They do it because they have nothing else to offer the American people.
And like any new roll out it takes some time to streamline and refine program but after awhile support for the program starts to slowly increase. And in this case if you tried to take those programs away from most Repubs you ain't going to be in office much longer.
BTW, the ACA is back in front of SCOTUS for the third time in 7 years and judging by Roberts comments it will be the last time an ACA case is in front of SCOTUS. Sure the individual mandate might be overturned but judging by the number of people who have enrolled no mandates are going to be needed. It's simply a "Here's the deal take it if you want it. If not find your own way to pay your hospital bills and stiffing the hospital is no longer one of them".
