The GOP couldn't stop the passage of the law. Not one voted for it. They knew what would happen. I think the GOP honestly believed SCOTUS would overturn the mandate which was the cornerstone of the act. The SCOTUS ruling on the Medicaid expansion did allow a majority of governors to opt out and that was a bigger blow to the law than Democrats have let on.

I just think that Democrats saw this as a golden opportunity to enact something they have only dreamed about for decades. They rushed it through and thought they would tweak it as time went by-they even said as much.

But then 2010 came along. Rats underestimated the backlash against both the stimulus and Obamacare. They were sent reeling and the liberal agenda was stopped dead in its tracks.

As far as the rollout, the law required them to have the exchanges up and running by Oct. 1. Congress could probably have delayed that, but they were not asked to because people were getting kicked off their plans and public pressure against the law was swelling again.

I think they started to panic and decided they had to go live even if they weren't ready.

They have piled mistake upon mistake for the past years in the quest to fulfill their government takeover of health care.

I honestly think they are astonished that 1) people actually hate this bill and 2) there have so many adverse consequences to millions as a result of the bill.

Frankly, so did I. Dang.

And when Nanny Pelosi said that we have to pass DeathPanelCare to find out what's in it. She lied. She knew!

The idiots thought that people would sign up in droves and be hooked on UtopiaCare. Now, they are in a panic because the of the cancellation notices and tidal wave of disaster on the horizon when the employee mandate kicks in.

The most insidious part of Obamacare is the President delaying implementation at will and granting waivers at will.
