I know it’s not going to be ‘popular’, but the “more conservative version) house bill has not gone far enough.

ABSOLUTELY NO ONE should enjoy waivers, exempt or any such thing. Obama, Pelosi unions and progressives want to enact this ‘law of the land’ onto the nation, they should be made shining examples of said law.

Don’t do the short term deal to ‘open up’ the government - once gop retreat on this, they are DONE!

Wow.

Scrapping that medical device tax will truly help the little people who are to be tyrannized by obamacare.

S/

P.S. The Senate GOP is a sick joke. But ALL of them in both bodies, save for a few stalwarts, are useless to the people who sent them there to represent us.

a delay of Obamacare’s medical device tax

*********
I saw a diagram showing the funding sources for Obamacare about a year ago. The medical device tax was intended to provide a significant amount of money to support the program. That was its main purpose.

So without this tax, it would seem that Obamacare is losing one of its funding “pillars” and will have to find money elsewhere to make up this shortfall. Where would this come from and who would be impacted?

Its just something that nobody seems to be talking about.

The House GOP bill would prevent members of Congress as well as Cabinet members, the president and the vice president from getting taxpayer subsidies to use on ObamaCare,

There income is too high to qualify for subsidies.

Weasels, pretending they are going to have the same care as the common folk, while allowing all their staffs to have their Obamacare costs covered. Does anyone believe these elitists will not ensure they have the best Dr.’s and care via some other vehicle later when the outcry diminishes?

WTF is wrong with the GOP leadership? Boehner goes before the mics.. A PERFECT opportunity to drive home the fact the 0bamacare website SUCKS, exemptions are UNCONSTITUTIONAL, 0bama is destroying our economy with more debt, willfully inflicting pain on WWII Veterans, blah blah blah.. So, WHAT does Boehner do? DUHHHHH DUHHHHH DUHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Boehner has NO message except 'BLAME US THE REPUBLICANS' while the Democrats are unified in their talking points! It's time for Boehner to step aside. He should CLEARLY state how and why 0bamacare is a train wreck. The Dems preach to the LIV's and Boehner should talk in a language the LIV's can understand, too.
