Ask Pelosi about it. She probably doesn’t want to give her fish cannery employees insurance.

Sure are a bunch of scumbags in charge these days..

Actually, I thought they were mostly exempt anyway, but there were articles about doctors leaving the island and nobody offering obamacare coverage anyway.

This might be good news for Puerto Rico. If they can offer healthcare cheaper, they can become a medical tourist destination.

I thought this was under the House and Senate to make changes?

Just cut to the chase, Barry, and exempt everybody except white Christians, and make everything mandatory including abortion.

You know you want to.

In a Republic, only the legislators can change legislation. In a dictatorship, the dictator can unilaterally change legislation. The legislators in the latter case are only members of a fancy debating club.

I guess future GOP President could simply exempt red states from paying any federal taxes

Maybe Obama should make California Chrome a US Senator...

Very clever comment that! For those who aren't following, I'll provide a hint. Google "Incitatus".
