I bet if you look at their stock portfolios......they invest heavily in the insurance cos.
Idiots who do not know they are idiots
Just a reminder. Be sure to vote. Because as you can see, Your Vote Really Matters.
A two year extension gets you to 2017 and a new Republican president. You won’t be able to do a damn thing about real reform as long as Obama is there to veto everything.
The GOPe Rinos just can’t help themselves. They aren’t any different than the progressive dems. Fug ‘em all!!!
Here’s the fix.
KILL IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another reason I’m not a a republican. They are crony idiots.
I mean that in the best possible way.
Test your fix on Custer’s horse.
If it doesn’t revive Custer’s horse, bury Obamacare with Custer’s horse.
Prediction based on past experience: the pubbies will come up with some sort of plan and it will be passed. The public will be ungrateful. The pubbies will gain nothing.
On the other hand, the pubbies could adopt a tough stand and refuse to do anything under the guise of, “We didn’t vote for this and have no desire to help it along.
Thanks for your learned reply. You are correct.
In this situation, it isn't the fault of these people that the Supreme Court may cut off their only way to have insurance. This bill keeps them having a way to keep insurance until the next part of the bill comes into effect - totally dumping Obamacare.
Lately, some Freepers are knee jerking and not thinking. They see people would lose their insurance and this bill fixes that and they have a fit - let the people lose their insurance, they don't care. They stop there and don't see the bill also dumps Obamacare.
I have Medicare because it's the only insurance I can get. Perhaps these people want Medicare dumped, too. They don't care if I lose my insurance. I also have a supplemental insurance policy that costs me over $200 a month to pay what Medicare doesn't, but I must have Medicare.
I also have a Long Term Care insurance policy I have paid on since 1990 to be sure I can have nursing care in my older life - I am 81 now and still don't need that but I pay it every month. These policies are no longer available due to Obamacare. Those of us who have them, still have them, but no others can get them.
The people of the nation individually, were not asked if he/she wanted Obamacare, they were forced into it and they will be penalized if they don't have it.
It is disingenuous for Freepers to not care what happens to other Americans as a result of Obamacare.
They can ALL go to hell!
“Lately, some Freepers are knee jerking and not thinking. They see people would lose their insurance and this bill fixes that and they have a fit - let the people lose their insurance, they don’t care. They stop there and don’t see the bill also dumps Obamacare.”
IF the Republicans would stick to what their bill says, it would end Obamacare in 2 years. Getting rid of the mandates would dismantle it. Then removing the subsidies in 2 years would open the way for competitive plans.
By extending subsidies temporarily, the Republicans put Obama in the position of having to veto the subsidies.
Could be a smart strategy.
However, we know the GOP is anything but smart. And that they don’t stick to their word when it comes to anything conservative. They’ll cave, vote to extend subsidies indefinitely, reinstate mandates - who knows? They ran in 2014 to stop executive amnesty, then next thing you know - they vote to fund it.
But if so, I think Obama will probably veto it -- because the GOP plan will only be a temporary fix, not the permanent repair that Big O and his Dhimmi buddies want.
Then in his veto message, Obama will probably say the GOP plan doesn't go far enough to protect the American people, that it's really a clever scheme to gut Obamacare. He will call for Congress to come up with a permanent fix.
At that point, the dominant media will rally to support Big O's position and the independents will move away from the Pubs -- meaning that Hilary and the Dhims will probably achieve a landslide victory in 2016.
In other words, even if the Pubs "win" in the King v. Burwell case, they still are likely to lose over the long run -- whether they come up with an intelligent transition to a free-market health system, whether they do nothing, or whether they hatch a plan that's somewhere between perfection and nothing.

Lately?
If you think they didn't, Kickass, maybe you aren't really a freeper? Voting to do something that you know for a fact will never happen is just simple propaganda. When the House was regained in 2010 Michele Bachmann tried to defund ObaaCare and wound up retiring after Boehner got through with her.
If you cared to notice the Republican-controlled? House FUNDED it.
Funding must originate in the House according to the Constitution. If the Republicans had really dug in and fought as do the Democrats ,it would never have been funded.
Boehner and McConnell are obama enablers.
Compromise, HELL!!
Apparently you really don’t pay attention. You assume the Republicans could do what you say. It was demonstrated at least twice that they lacked the raw political power. Wanting something and being able to achieve it are two separate entities.
BTW, in spite of having a majority in both houses, Republicans still lack the raw political power to prevail. Bitchin’ and moanin’ from the pea nut gallery is counter productive to achieving the necessary power to prevail.
Might be, but the Law was passed without one Republican Vote in the Dead of Night. I was responding to that fact.
The fact that the RINO’s are gutless wonders after the fact is a separate issue.
I thought a majority WAS raw political power???!!!!
What the Republicans need is leadership that will stand as firmly as do the Democrats.And better communicators to counter Democrat BS.
no, majority is not enough
in the senate 60 votes or a super majority is required for contentious matters.
then there is the president...... he can veto anything he chooses.
Many here dis republicans simply because they assume things can be accomplished when they cannot. they can never seem to understand politics is the art of the possible, not what i want
