"Democrats Find Out What's in ObamaCare and Don't Like It"

Hey! Wait a minute. How did the Dems find this out? Since when did they muster the strength to read 4-thousand pages? Or, more accurately, since when did they learn how to read?

Alright, alright.....so who's the Spartan-in-adversity who took the time to read it to them? Impressive work, whoever you are....the patience of Job, for sure.

“If Romney were elected, Republicans would be getting full blame for this.”

Yup and I hope it gets worse and worse. I think the dems are losing control - the next big step is to let the Bush tax cuts expire.

It will be fun to watch the outrage. I hope the GOP stands strong and just shrugs....

The device tax is a tax on gross receipts (sales, essentially) instead of a tax on profits

This is killing my business - three medical products compamies I work with have cancelled projects for next year, because of this tax. One distributor has a 4% margin. You just can't make this up in volume.

Moslems are exempt from Obamacare?

Do you know where in the bill that it says that? (serious question- not doubting you)

We need to make sure the public sees that exact language

I have become convinced that we are governed by a committee of James Bond villains.

Come to think of it, they do resemble the Obama Czar lineup!

Paraphrasing~

Anxious American Taxpayer: "Do you expect us to get well under the new healthcare plan???"

Obama: "No, Mr. Taxpayer! I expect you to DIE! bwah ha ha ha..."

“”Pass another repeal bill in the House and see if it sticks. Then pass an infinite extension of the Bush tax cuts, announce it, and GO HOME.”

Would have zero impact IMO, only because the evils of Obamacare are not yet fully reveled. BUT come Sept. 2014 this Country will be in total disarray, in part because of Obamacare, > Higher premiums, loss of Doctors, fees, tax on Home sales and so on. That is when the Repubs in the House Vote for repeal and put the Ball in Harry's court. Some how the Repub Senators need to force Harry into a vote. Even if they can't, it is great election propaganda in that Harry not letting the Senate vote is as good as every Dem sticking by Obamacare. I can easily see a 2010 election cycle all over again.

According to the democrats (for the last decade+), the Bush tax cuts were ONLY for the rich. So, let them expire. According to the democrats, they didn't help the middle class anyway, right?

Yeah, the Republicans should not deign to even call it the “fiscal cliff.” Call it the “Bush Tax Cuts.”

The people I know that support 0bamacare cannot be convinced otherwise than that it provides free healthcare on demand for all.

They won’t hear anything else about it.

DAC21~:” Would have zero impact IMO, only because the evils of Obamacare are not yet fully reveled.

The Dem’s passed a bill written behind closed doors ~ it wasn’t fully written when Congress voted on it.
Congress had less than three days to review the bill as it was written then , and later to be added upon.
This is what happens when you trust the Dem’s to accomplish any legislation in this Congress ; and yet , they all claim to have read it thouroughly .
This is a Congress ( both sides of the aisle),like our President’s philosophy whose main focus is “ Submission” !
Oh yeah , isn’t that the translation of the term :” Islam “?

I am surprised at the large number of posters on this forum who think the Dem’s care about economics. I don’t see any evidence that Dem’s at the federal level care much whether the general economy is healthy. Their constituencies are largely uninterested in economic matters that go beyond—”you have loot-I want it”. The left is characterized by greed more than anything else. They have little interest in “creating jobs” or “reducing the debt”. They simply want your loot. Dem rhetoric is largely devoted to giving their voters moral justification for looting. Read what the Dem’s say. When the Dem voters can’t get enough loot to keep them happy, they will blame the people whom they looted and will, as history has shown, become much more mean.

Each and every constitution believing American (not the ameriKans), on April 15th, should file the long form. Attached should be 2,700 pages of itemized deductions. Paragraphs of items bought that are not deductions, explaining why they are not, sprinkled in the mess are actual deductions, explaining why they are.

Democrats better get used to being accosted for passing Obamacare. I expect that seniors will be furious when they find their Medicare has become nearly worthless and they are being denied care for things like pacemakers and hip replacements. Medical device makers will soon be fleeing the US making us dependent on places like China and India for pacemakers and joint replacements and of course taking those jobs with them. Already private health care premiums are going up despite Obama’s lies about them going down as a result of Obamacare. However the worst is yet to come in 2014 when there are no health care exchanges and people who lose their employer sponsored health care find they cannot afford private insurance make too much to qualify for Medicaid and have no other alternatives as the much vaunted health care exchanges are no where to be seen. On top of that they will then be taxed (fined) for not having insurance through no fault of their own.
