Obamacare Repeal Bill: More Than Mere Symbolism
American Spectator ^ | 12/7/2015 | David Catron

The President, congressional Democrats, and their media allies have attempted to portray the partial Obamacare repeal passed by the Senate last Thursday as cynical GOP posturing. As MSNBC phrased it, “Its not exactly a secret that when congressional Republicans vote to repeal all or part of the Affordable Care Act its not because they intend to succeed.” The President wants to convince the electorate that the Senate bill is just another symbolic GOP repeal effort. But it is not. This measure will actually reach his desk, which will force him to once again tell the voters to go to Hell.

The Senate bill and the inevitable veto will constitute a practical and timely demonstration of Democrat contempt for representative democracy. It will remind the voters that the Democrats have no intention of heeding their will on health care reform or anything else. Voter anger about Obamacare has already cost the Democrat party its majorities in both houses, and it is undeniably more unpopular than ever. Yet, not only has President Obama promised to veto the repeal bill, the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee has publicly pledged to be equally unresponsive to the will of the people.
