The House Republicans can’t repeal Obamacare, true. That much is settled.
But that doesn’t mean nothing can be done. Already several Republican governors have said they won’t implement the health care exchanges mandated under the Act. Under the Act, if a state doesn’t enact the exchange then the federal government can come in and set one up. But the Act doesn’t allocated money toward this end. Therefore, since the Republicans hold the purse strings in the House, all they need to do is not fund the federal exchanges (”sorry, the federal government is broke”). The effect will be to let the states opt out of that requirement, which is not a small deal, since the exchanges were one of the mechanisms designed to insure when and if employers drop coverage.
Just because O-care can’t be repealed in its entirety, doesn’t mean that we can’t find creative ways to eviscerate it piece by piece.
Well, we all know that Boehner has a mangina.
However, Elections do have consequences. The American people voted yes to Socialism and yes to ObamaCare.
ObamaCare will now be implemented and there really isn’t much we can do about it.
