(from RedState):

Conservative and Republican affiliated groups have started the 2014 assault against Democrats who support Obamacare. At the very same time, it is increasingly clear Republicans are laying the groundwork to abandon their opposition to Obamacare.

The Business Roundtable, which has a great relationship with Republican Leaders, is now listing Obamacare as an entitlement worth preserving.

Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former economic advisor to John McCain and who opposed passage of Obamacare, has started a think tank premised on keeping, but fixing, Obamacare. Holtz-Eakin has the ear of Republican leaders. In 2009, Mitch McConnell appointed him to the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission.

The Chamber of Commerce is declaring it will work to fix, not repeal, Obamacare. In fact, just last week the head of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said, “The administration is obviously committed to keeping the law in place, so the chamber has been working pragmatically to fix those parts of Obamacare that can be fixed.”

Good luck to them. They'll need it.

What would you expect from a bunch of crony capitalists?

I joined a local chamber for one year. I didn't renew my membership because of their support for a local sales tax hike.

That's rather like fixing cancer or AIDS. They can't be fixed but with a lot of work they might some day be destroyed.

yes, why would you work to improve it when you can do the koch brothers' bidding and spend millions trying to repeal it and hurt your constituents?

Democrats will tell you what they fear,

Right now they are doing anything that they can to get the republicans name on this bill?

So far they are failing!
