Democrats disturbed by Obamacare rollout -- and GOP criticism
Los Angeles Times ^ | October 23, 2013 | By Lisa Mascaro

President Obama’s Democratic allies in Congress said Wednesday they are “not happy” about the glitch-filled rollout of the healthcare law, but criticized Republicans for trying to kill Obamacare rather than fix it.

“It’s very disturbing to see that the website hasn't performed as well as we would like,” said Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.), the No. 4 Democrat in the House, emerging from a private briefing with administration officials. “I think it's even more disturbing when individuals intentionally work against the American people and the rights that they have now secured to access quality, affordable health care.”

“It's also not just about a website: Health insurance is about health security for millions and millions of Americans who heretofore have not had the ability to afford health insurance,” said Rep. Joe Crowley (D-N.Y.). “Under the Affordable Care Act, that's about to change for them. Republicans are looking for problems to exploit, we Democrats are looking for problems to fix and to find solutions for.”

Republicans should be going on and on about how they tried to delay this but the Democrats shutdown the government to force it on us all.

Not only is the GOP NOT willing to fine tune Obamacare to make it more popular but even worse:

Democrats Newest :”It’s all Republicans fault because they are rooting for Obama-care’s failure”

Gasp!!!

The only difference between Shamwow!, replacement windows/vinyl siding and music CD clubs like Columbia House
and BarryCare.

None of them can penalize you and sic debt collectors on you if you say, “No, thanks.”

“rights that they have now secured to access quality, affordable health care”

Really? They think they have “secured” the “right” to free “quality” healthcare on demand?

So, if I go buy car insurance, that guarantees me the right to a car?

The GOP hasn’t tried to kill it. Only a handful of brave conservatives
have tried to kill it. The GOP Rino’s funded it. They, along with the Rats
own it!

Republicans should be going on and on ....

Wouldn't get a second of air time. The media wouldn't be able to hear them with their ears being muffled by Obamas skinny butt cheeks.

We need to say,

“It’s not Republicans’ fault that a “Health Insurance Monopoly” that makes insurance companies RICH does so by making healthy people POOR!”

“It is the Democrats who betrayed American here, all by themselves.”

Fix it? We didn’t even want it! No Republican voted for it - it is the Dems’ albatross to wear proudly.

In the immortal words of Colin Powell (paraphrased):

Once you break it, you own it. You are going to be the proud owner of healthcare for over 300 million people.

You just can't tap dance your way around that, Mr. President.

“I think it's even more disturbing when individuals intentionally work against the American people and the rights that they have now secured to access quality, affordable health care.”

And what about the rights of the American people who now can no longer afford insurance and will be among the uninsured in January?
