President Barack Obama’s top health adviser on Monday called for an end to partisan bickering over Obamacare, saying the public and businesses are sending a clear message to Washington that it is time to move on with implementing the law.

“The Affordable Care Act is clearly working,” U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell told a university audience in remarks that unveiled a new administration message about the successes of the healthcare reform law just as the midterm election campaign debate about its future intensifies.

“What I’ve been hearing over and over … (is) enough already with the back and forth. We just want to move forward,” she said in her first major public address.

“We’re not here to fight last year’s battles,” Burwell added. “The Affordable Care Act is not about making a point. It’s about making progress.” …

Sure, I’ll stop fighting over Obamacare, just as soon as it is repealed.

Simple solution—repeal it and no bickering, no problems. How does that sound brainless wonder?

I had to look twice to make sure it wasn’t one of those fabulous semi/satire pieces.

Maybe that’s why she’s bleating. Although why she wants the same notoriety as her predecessor Sebelius I cannot fathom.

Screw Sylvia Burwell. No Communism/Marxism/Liberalism/Socialism in the U.S.

The scum pushing to make this acceptable to the public are directly responsible to the path that will lead to Civil War II and they, their family, their friends, and anyone else associated with those who are pushing this upon this country WILL suffer the Ceausescu solution, IMO.

And I will be more than happy to be one of those to enforce the “punishment” when the time comes.

Oh yes, the public is demanding the individual mandate be enforced and employers are demanding the employer mandate be enforced...
because everyone loves Obamacare!

...saying the public and businesses are sending a clear message to Washington that it is time to move on with implementing the law...

Not what I'm hearing. No-one, and I mean no-one likes it. Even my one idiot friend who was jumping up and down excited about it, all for it, couldn't wait for it... Now is quietly saying it is not what he expected and he's not going into it.

No-one outside the big government liberal fascists want obamacare.

“The Affordable Care Act is clearly working,” U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell told a university audience...

Was that university in Colorado or something? What is this guy smoking? Clearly working? {snort} Only if by "working" you mean raising costs, reducing coverage and options, reducing availability, increasing government regulation and control... From the perspective of a citizen or small business owner it is a complete charlie-foxtrot.

Repeal. (It’s never partisan when they do it.)

Fine. Fully implement the law the Democrats passed and won’t allow revisions, take ownership and let the good times roll. Should make the 2016 election interesting.

No, it is not “Time to move on” as said.

Is that the best picture Reuters could get of her?

She appears to be having some sort of spazmatic attack
