Obamacare is a death panel for American business, no matter how many straw men the arrogant punk rails against from his temporary backyard.
For sure, Democrats have been promised a piece of the action....there's billions to be made (plus they're plugging unsuspecting enrollees into Democrat voter rolls). The wire-transfers are going 24/7. Once those tax dollars are in the hands of the Dummycrat criminal hordes, the billions are untraceable.

....the reasons for all those O/Care delays, fixits, exemptions, waivers, extensions, etc, are becoming crystal clear.
If Republicans can’t get the word out, ObamaCare can cost every American $1 million more per year and the Dems will still win. Obama got a pass in 2012, and we’d better hope other Dems don’t in 2014; their strategy of having ObamaCare supporters “retire” and replacing them with fresh libs might work...
