I’ve never understood why America doesn’t have a decent health care system. And then America voted for Trump, and everyone appears shocked at what he has done…

There is something very wrong with American attitudes.

Depends where you look, but most of his voters don't know and/or don't care. I think the only thing he's done to rile them up so far this term is his recent comments on the Epstein case.

The right wing media ecosystem they have created obscures the fact that Obamacare is the thing these people are using.

Then, once it fails, they will just lie and again blame Democrats for it instead of circling back to their talking points about how they wanted to kill Obamacare.

This is just some people. I have met a fair number of people who just think it is too bad, so sad if you are too poor or do not have a good enough job for good healthcare. I was visiting Canada once, and the folks at the company I was visiting recounted the last American who rolled through who espoused the "well, I guess they die" talking points - to their horror.

If rates go way up next year, I don't see how they're going to convince people the Democrats are at fault.

Stock market goes up: Trump economy! Stock market goes down: Biden left us a shitty economy!

Same will happen here.

Of course they'll say it. I just doubt that many people will believe it.

Why not? They're already primed to hate Obamacare. All you have to do is say that prices went up because of the law, not these changes, and they'll believe it.
