Don’t bet the farm on the GOP leadership growing a set.

Is this supposed to be “conservative” writing?
Republicans growing a spine has nothing to do with the problem here.
There are numerous big corporate donors interested in keeping Obamacare afloat, because corporate interests relish the idea of no longer having to offer health insurance benefits to their employees. Also the health insurance industry rather likes the idea of the entire country being required to buy their products at fixed prices.
The Republican party establishment is nothing but a bunch of whores selling out the wishes of their voting base to the highest bidder.
I consider this article to be disinformation. Do you want to see a spine? Do you want to see “courage”? Just try to get between Mitch McConnell or John Boehner and a million dollar donation.
Hi GOPe here. We have already made it clear to both John & Mitch as well as others in Congress that Obamacare is to be left alone or strengthened! The Chamber wants to offload health care costs to the government along with importing low wage workers to increase profit margins. What they are going to do is make noise about Obamacare “reform” but then say they tried but without the White House nothing can be done. This will set up donations and votes from the base for 2016 and we can use them it increase our power without us actually doing anything conservative. If some people do catch on we have our attack dogs ready on FreeRepublic to call them traitors and stay at home Democratic enablers. See we’re smarter than those stupid conservative rubes and have it all figured out!
GOP members of congress are obama’s monica lewinskys!
Short version of what I said on another thread:
-Kicked off husband's policy 12/31/14
-Premiums would be abt $536/mo through exchange or open market.
-Bought policy on federal exchange and yes, I receive a subsidy as there is no way in hell I can afford to pay $536 every month.
-Chose my policy according to my needs. Prescription coverage. Healthy but on 2 meds which would cost a total of $600/mo if I paid the cash price. Now I pay $25.00/mo for each with no deductible.
I am as against obamacare today as I was when it was passed. The reality is that even though many preventative services are free, considering the high deductibles which must be met before benefits kick in, we might as well not have insurance.
I am all for SCOTUS ruling against the subsidies. But here I sit, through no fault of my own, with substandard health insurance coverage and will have my prescription coverage yanked away should Price prevail.
I am NOT suggesting an indefinite extension of subsidies but something needs to be in place.
Boehner and McConnell should have assumed SCOTUS would rule against subsidies, introduced bills, had their debates and ready to take a final vote as soon as the decision was handed down. (Assuming it could be done that way).
Anyone thinking Congress will move through the process of fixing this quickly is a fool.
Congress of quislings.
Good for Price. Good guy.
