it likely means it’s all over much sooner than anyone thinks.
Money is gone.
the house of cards is wobbly.
Did I just feel a breeze?
Shazam! Now slap me in the eye and call me Shirley!
America will continue to bleed jobs. This, too, will be blamed on the pubes. The entrenched republicans will not play hardball, notwithstanding Cruz and a few others.
Implementation has been going on since the day ACA was signed into law.
Also, the plan depends on individuals paying in for a couple of years before they qualify to receive benefits. This provides a part of the financial base for Obamacare. That is, it makes Obamacare’s number look better than they actually are.
And it explains why Obama can delay business involvement, but balk at delaying the individual mandates.
Most definitely, individuals are GETTING PLAYED.
Medicaid, Social Security, Medicare, Welfare?
Well, disability and food stamps are being rolled back. Besides being highly unpopular Obamacare is also totally different in structure from earned entitlements you pay for like payroll taxes for Medicare and Social Security. So yes I do believe it could be at least partially dismantled.
The end game is single payer. When Obamacare fails we’ll be rushed into single payer to “save” the economy.
It isn’t in force yet as it hasn’t been funded.
It was “in force” the day 0bama signed it.
Agree, only way some of these voters will “get it” is when it hurts their pocketbook!
Oh bunk. They've been "rolling it back" for years and yet more people than ever are on it.
Social welfare programs are never repealed! When it fails, and it will, we will be rushed into their end game, single payer, to save the economy. It's been the plan all along.
Of the whole law, or just the individual mandate? Donk Senators Joe Manchin, WV, and Kay Hagan, NC, have come out in favor of delaying the mandate.
Delaying the individual mandate would improve the law from the standpoint of the low-information pukes who vote, while making it more likely to collapse ultimately, due to adverse selection. Of course, when it collapses, the 'Rats will offer up Single Payer as the solution. That's been the plan all along.
Yes! And to stand by and hope that things will get worse because it will wake people up is contrary to Reagan’s great speech that you quoted above.
It is unfunded. Implementation has not taken place. Yet. It isn’t even up and running and it’s causing a disaster. Allowing it to implement in ANY way is what they want. It will fail and we’ll be rushed into single payer to “save the economy”.
AFAIK just the individual mandate. Is that any different than what the House bill proposes to delay? The "whole law" has been in effect for four years now and it has been funded so far and the infrastructure of the unionized bureaucracy has been under construction for four years.
The administration has been busily building the infrastructure of the unionized bureaucracy for four years. How have they done that without funding?
The question to be asked is: If it is in the Nations best interest to shut down the Government, then why are there only TWO Federal Politicians, Obama and Reid, loudly advocating shutting down the US Federal Government?
Obama has MANY reasons to shutdown the Federal Government such as:
1.) A headline grabbing story that will distract attention from the Impeachable scandals of:
Benghazi Massacre Dereliction of Duty by Obama as CIC;
Obamacare Insurance managed by the corrupt IRS;
IRS harassment of political opponents of Obama;
Use of the NSA by Obama to spy on everybody in the USA;
etc, etc.
2.) The use of fear of a shutdown might help to protect defunding and eventual abolishment of Obamas narrowly focucused ideological agenda of an European-style, failure-prone, Marxist, monopoly of the US Medical Insurance Industry.
3.) Spreading fear and blame might also preserve Obamas power to increase Obamacare Insurance premiums on an annual basis.
*This would be highly advantageous to Obama as the increase in mandatory insurance premiums would not be a tax, as the unexpected market conditions would be given as the reason for the increase.
*Also there would be no need to ask for the Advice and Consent of Congress, as the IRS would be in complete control of all income and medical records.
4.) The last reason is the most important for Obama, personally: America would at last no longer be a Nation where the Liberty to choose ones own family destiny could ever exist again.
As for Reid, the best guess I have is that he wants a Government Monopoly of the Medical Insurance Industry. Well, to be fair, Reid calls for a single payer system.
My guess is that multi-millionaire Reid, nearing Federal retirement, owns a lot of stock in some companies that are tied to a single payer system.
Maybe the NSA, or the IRS can find out for us?
Im going to as my US Senator from TEXAS, The Esteemed Senator John To Hell with my voters Cornyn to check on this for me - - - .
Political theatre is fun to watch but not when it has a negative effect on your own country.
Do you really believe that a 1 year delay in Obamacare after the exchanges are hours from opening and Obama's little pretties have taken flight to spread the word is even remotely possible from either Harry Reid or Barack Obama? I don't.
Obama doesn't care about making Obamacare better the Democrats don't care about making Obamacare better they want it to fail so Hillary has something to run on.
