Rooting? How about “accurately predicting”?
"Accurately observing" is not synonymous with "rooting".
The GOP does not have to do a thing for Obamacare to be a failure. It was designed to fail and bring in single payer. The GOP just has to point that out.
PS Au contraire.
Well duh!
Well duh!
Damn right we are. Kill It With Fire!
Perception counts for more than reality when dealing in the political realm. Obama has been an abject failure as President, but he was still reelected by five million votes.
It was designed to fail and bring in single payer. The GOP just has to point that out.
That is doing something and that is my point. We can' t allow the MSM and the Dems to define success and failure. My concern is that we are being suckered into the number signing up on the website as the metric for success rather than more substantive measures like premium costs, deductibles, co-pays, reduced payments to hospitals and doctors, job losses and the conversion to part-time work etc.
The website will be fixed and the number of enrollees will climb as more and more employers and insurance companies drop existing coverage and force people into the exchanges by tens of millions. It is inevitable.
Yes, single payer is the objective. Obamacare is the final piece joining the other single payer medical coverages, i.e., Medicare (47 million enrolled) and Medicaid (70 million enrolled counting the CHIPs program). Obamacare will add at least another 18 million to Medicaid and Medicare will continue to increase as 10,000 people retire a day and will continue to do so every day for the next 20 years.
And for those predicting the demise of private insurance, I would remind them that 9 out of 10 Medicare recipients have supplemental insurance. It is why AARP supports Obamacare.
The Reps must be proactive and not sit by and think that the failure of Obamacare will be self-evident. The Goebbels-like propaganda machine aided by the MSM will blame the GOP for the failure, particularly if the Dems are prevented from making various fixes to make the system more palatable.
That's what companies want.....They shouldn't be in the business of managing their employees' healthcare. They only did it, as a workaround for wartime wage controls. It's one reason companies offshore, they don't have to worry about providing insurance for Sanjay in Mumbai, who works for some Indian company they contracted with.
Yeah, sure, just like Cassandra was “rooting for” the destruction of Troy.
Yeah, like the Jews in 1936 Berlin rooting for Hitler’s defeat.
Of course if they did, they were never heard from again. If only Obama had gotten funding for those Boxcars and Camps.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Medicare will consume the entire federal budget if it is not reformed.
Just going through the same narrative that those who oppose this law want to stop people from having health insurance, all the while people are getting notices in the millions their insurance is being cancelled due to this law.
The level of dishonesty continues to be extraordinary.
“The level of dishonesty continues to be extraordinary.”
Obama and his handlers think we are too stupid to recognize their dishonesty. Obama thinks he is being sneaky and clever. He is way more transparent than he planned to be.
No...Obama blame others???? , You know I read this here before:
By attempting to prevent its adoption by enough states and by blitzing with negative ads designed to scare citizens.
Again, I am not against these tactics because it is probably for the best, but to deny that one side is trying to derail it is akin to pretending to be blind.
Obama is trying to make a certain point - which for some idiotic reason you feel the need to try and agree with.
I am full well aware of what is going on, but fully aware of what Obama is trying to say to his lo fo voters, and the twain shall never meet.
