As I read through this entire thread, your are the only one I see who has commented about the role of Congress in this. Last time I checked, the House still controls the purse strings. Yet, I've heard not a word about this Republican House refusing to fund this thing. Why is that?

Because, unlike most spending bills, Obamacare was pre-authorized and pre-funded all the way through final implementation by the initial act.

The current House cannot de-fund Obamacare unless and until the Senate also acts to withdraw the funding. And, even then, such a withdrawal of funding could be vetoed by the President.

Fat chance, huh?

We lost our chance to repeal Obamacare when we failed to win the presidency and a majority in the Senate.

I've heard this disclosure before, I believe from Michele Bachmann. Yet, if our (supposed) side is half as good as they claim to be, I would think they could figure a way to starve this thing. But, they are who they are, intimidated by the Left and their media.

For the time, lets just say there is no way to defund Obamacare. Why not then refuse to fund other unnecessary government programs and agencies, using the fact that Obamacare is going to take Billions more to implement than originally disclosed?

Much like the Amnesty issue, when does the Republican Party draw a line in the sand and say, “enough is enough”. Is the fear of losing political power worth losing the Country most of us grew up in?

I'm sorry to be replying like this, but as days go by it certainly appears that both of our major political parties are actually participating in “fundamentally transforming” our Country.
