WASHINGTON — The explosive politics of health care have divided the nation, but America's governors, Republicans and Democrats alike, suggest that President Barack Obama's health care overhaul is here to stay.

While governors from Connecticut to Louisiana sparred on Sunday over how best to improve the nation's economy, governors of both parties shared a far more pragmatic outlook on the controversial program known as "Obamacare" as millions of their constituents begin to be covered.

"We're just trying to make the best of a bad situation," Republican Gov. Terry Branstad, of Iowa, who calls the health care law "unaffordable and unsustainable," yet something he has to implement by law. "We're trying to make it work as best we can for the people of Iowa."

Another "settled law" settles in . . .

Yup. we are stuck with this beast as long as our elected officials do nothing about it.

We are planing on relocating from MN soon. I am kinda waiting for the first state to pass the “GFY Obama law” that tells zero where to stick The Un-affordable Care Act.

I disagree with this newspaper……….they more people are hurt by obummercare, the more agitated they will become.

Millions? They must have been smoking some of that new 'recreational' medical marijuana." LOL! Fools!

B/S. If ObamaCare lives, the constitution dies.

[Jim Robinson]

And that was the entire point.

[madprof98]

I think we are closer to that than the people who care realize . . . because not a lot of people apparently care.

Republican Gov. Terry Branstad, of Iowa, who calls the health care law "unaffordable and unsustainable,"

How can something unsustainable be "Here to stay"? Who writes this garbage?

If the Urinal-Constipation says so -— it must be true.

Many years ago, I told my “Repub no matter what” father that when (not if) we got saddled with socialized medicine, we’d have the GOP to thank for it. “They won’t be able to say no!” I insisted. Being right stinks sometimes.

[ronnie raygun]

Well it looks like we have to get use to the noose around our necks, he sez. These defeatist spineless cowards who fold like cheap cameras

Which leads me to say that the title of the article is misleading.

[cableguymn]

Yup. Iowa.. you have a problem!

[Kansas58]

Rotten headline.
First quote is “unaffordable and unsustainable”??? is that not the DEFINITION of “changes to come”??

[grumpygresh]

Which version of Obamacare do they mean?
It must be the “living & breathing” one.
So now, laws mean nothing; we only have selective enforcement by a despotic regime.
It is evident that the Federal government has lost any moral claim on its laws. As citizens, we must recognize this reality, and wherever possible, resist and thwart the Federal government, its agents and supporters.

[fieldmarshaldj]

You’re Terry’s opponent, EV. Time to hammer him over the head with this something fierce.

[SeminoleCounty]

If you are not ending ObamaCare...you are supporting ObamaCare

[lee martell]

No NO no and NO! The Tea Party has not and will not throw in the tea-towel of surrender. No, O-Care is unacceptable. Move aside, you lazy losers!

[unixfox]

Here to stay? For some , but for myself...

I will not comply.

F U B O!
