The GOPe needs to stay on the attack and point out all of the numbers associated with 0bama's War on America based on
the full-time to part-time fundamental transformation,
The strong incentives for businesses to stay under 50 employees and
the back-breaking 0bamaDonCare rate hikes.
Then point out that 0bama is killing the economy in any number of other ways.
The GOPe needs to learn to kick the 'Rats when the 'rats are down.
Napoleon once said, “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” …And history is quite clear on what happened to Napoleon. How about looking to the USA’s Founding Fathers instead?
The GOP is just ****ing pathetic.
Cruz was brilliant bringing attention to this debacle just before rollout. He caused the Democrats to totally own this train wreck. I e-mailed Debbie Stabenow several weeks ago to let her know how much my policy went up. She blamed the Insurance companies...:
Thank you for contacting me about health insurance premium increases. I share your frustration and am working to make health insurance affordable for everyone.
I am deeply disappointed that some insurance companies have chosen to raise their rates. The new health care reform law gives state insurance commissioners more power to stop unreasonable rate increases. To request a review of insurance rate increases by your insurance company, you can contact the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services by calling 1-877-999-6442. In addition, the new law requires insurance companies to spend at least 80% to 85% of your money on health care and not on insurance company salaries, profits, or advertising. If insurance companies do not meet this standard, they must pay you a rebate. This past year more than 220,000 insurance customers in Michigan received an average rebate of $138.
In addition, starting on October 1st, you will be able to shop for new insurance options in the online insurance marketplace. In Michigan, 94 percent of people without insurance will be eligible to receive a tax credit to help them purchase affordable insurance in the marketplace. You can go to https://www.healthcare.gov/ or call 1-800-318-2596 to learn more about this option.
Thank you again for contacting me. Please continue to keep me informed about issues of concern to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Debbie Stabenow
United States Senator “
They have underplayed their hand on every issue for so many years that overplaying anything now would seem impossible.
But the Democrats would love to have ObamaCare's critics shut up at this time.
Good. Let the people taste for themselves this sh** sandwich called Obamacare. Don’t let the Dems delay implementation until after the next round of elections either... that would be suicidal.
Let’s snatch defeat from the jaws of victory heartless GOPES (GOP Elite Snobs} decide to play the Demo-Coms your nothing but numbers game.
The GOPe leadership is just timid, even cowardly and worst of all… LAZY!!!
Who's been winning the most political contests in our lifetimes? (FDR till now) Have the duplicitous Dems ever tried "Political Judo?" (BLEEP) NO!!!
(these comments are not directed to the poster of this thread, but rather to the article author and to the ridiculous leadership of the GOPe)
Never give an enemy room to breath but one breath. Give an enemy an inch and that enemy will take miles which will have to be taken back.
Yes, let’s fund it to show how much we oppose it! That’ll do the trick.
How about offering an alternative free market based plan, while you have people’s attention?
Didn’t they try that strategy in the last election?
This health sham has OBAMA all over it, he made it, he had it passed on lies and threats and its called OBAMACARE....let it fail just like the idiot that is trying to say he’s president....
When you are campaigning, you are campaigning.
When you are president, you should be leading and managing - not perpetually campagning
Now is the time to go positive with competing ideas for insurance and medical care, that involve super-limited government involvement.
Medical savings accounts.
Tort reform.
States allowed to block strangling mandates like abortion and maternity for people who don’t do either.
State intervention blocking Fed mandates that harm residents of individual states.
And, everyone inside the beltway is forced out of their exemption foxholes.
