Obamacare Is Dead and Here's Why [Obamacare Ongoing Thread]

As the Massachusetts blame game unfolds, the president’s unpopular health bill leads the list. But the substantive provisions of the bill were just part of the problem. Perhaps more important, voters were appalled by how the deal unfolded. Consider the pre-election giveaway to the labor unions. Negotiators agreed to exempt union contracts until 2018 from the tax on so-called Cadillac health-insurance plans. That backroom bargain not only outraged the voters, it also violated the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, requiring the federal government to extend equal protection of the laws to all U.S. persons. Of course, not all voters understood the constitutional nuances, but they sensed that something was very wrong; and they reacted.
I have been disturbed by the socialists for years, ever since I learned many members of Congress 'openly' joined the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America). Several years ago, the names were published on the DSA site. (since removed of course) Please post any info you have, many of you have been on this issue for many years, & if we can store it all on one thread, we have our FreeRepublic Warehouse on the enemies of the state. How DO we combat this, when it's coming at us from every angle? When the people have been asleep for decades. Please post anything you have found or accumulated. Also choose a dictator these people follow, of particular interest,those in D.C. who have been quoted with their adulation of one.

I wouldn’t know, I have four LED TVs on DirecTV, two have DVRs, I record a lot of stuff and watch it later.
I don’t have a TV in this room.
FBN (Fox Business News) does a live streaming show on weekdays, so they say, I’ve never watched it.

Update 3-20, 10:42 AM (from MacAoidh): TheHill.com reports that Stupak has cancelled his press conference today, which would indicate that the deal is dead. Pelosi couldn’t make it work. If this thing fails, it will be interesting to see who eventually gets the blame – the pro-choice Democrats, for holding up Obamacare because of a need for federal funding of abortion, or the pro-life Democrats for “turning coat” and joining with the Republicans.
Meanwhile, a Stupak spokeswoman told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto that “negotiations are ongoing.”
Update 3-20, 9:50 AM: Greta van Susteren gets word that there will be no deal and hears that Stupak’s press conference may be canceled.

from what I’ve read, I think there is a “religious” exception in the bill that would cover groups like the Muslims (based on sharia law) and the Amish -— (when are you going to see those two groups ever linked again?)

Prepare for the Slaughter: Stacy McCain gets an e-mail from a GOP staffer on the Hill:
UPDATE 11:27 a.m. ET: E-mail from GOP House leadership aide:
See floor schedule for the House today (from Hoyer’s office)… last vote should be 3-ish. Rules Committee is meeting now to write the rule for tomorrow’s reconciliation bill… we expect it will include the “Slaughter Solution” deeming the Senate bill passed and making Obamacare law. . . .
Things are tight . . . DO NOT let up on your efforts.
Yes, but the vote count is on that bill anyway. If Pelosi doesn’t have the votes for the reconciliation bill — which is what’s coming to the floor tomorrow — then the Senate bill won’t be “deemed” anything. We knew the Democrats would stick with the Demon Pass strategy; it’s all they have.
