They’re worried that if we take off the hangman’s noose, we’ll fall off the chair?
Cowards all.
It was always about overwhelming the system.
An integral part of the plan was to create a monstrosity that would wreak havoc whether it was repealed or not.
Paving the road for romney - “O’Romneycare”...coming to a government near you in November.
That’s why you get the big paycheck, Senator. To fix messes like this.
Don’t worry we’ll get over it!
Just repeal the whole mess and consider any good part of any legislation.
I personally believe, that despite his promises to the contrary, a President Romney would decide that it would be too harmful to totally repeal Obamacare. He’ll do what he has said he would do before .... ‘keep the good parts’ .... and tinker around the edges with the rest. The cancer that is Obamacare has already metastasized into the system .... and into the brains of certain RINOs/Republicans/Romney.
All he’s saying is that Obamacare diverted funds from other programs, and they will need to be restored if Obamacare is repealed. Seems rather obvious.
But I guess we can’t expect people to actually analyze information and do stuff in an intelligent manner.
Last week John McDole was on Greta talking about repealing and replacing.......BSBSBSBS
Just repeal it. We’ll take our chances.
Shelby is a converted Republican! Used to be Democrat!!!
Of course they cave (or lied-or both) Why should the feckless Republicans actually do anything that the vast majority of the American public want??
When adults look at this bill, they can see how its drafters knitted threads from it to every nook and government cranny they could to prevent repeal, or to make repeal painful. Adults will see past all that crap, and TRASH THE WHOLE GD THING. IF a lawmaker can not see that, then that lawmaker is a either a fool or a ‘Rat.
And so the usual GOP crapfest begins.
If a mafia enforcer stood behind each one to ensure they kept their promises and did the right thing the gutless bastards would still equivocate and then fold.
This all amounts to the same situation as 1775; tyranny and taxation without real representation.
Good time to start zero-based budgeting for all departments.
This is a bill congress didn't write, they didn't read, no one wants, and yet you have Repubs afraid to repeal it.
God help us.
See - we can’t repeal it. It’s too important.
Now why don’t you little people go pay your taxes? We need raises. :)
Isn’t that so like a stinking politician; they proclaim a problem so they, the politicians can dump billions of our money into a solution that the people DO NOT WANT because it includes unaffordable/unconstitutional mandates and erodes the people’s liberties. The citizen outrage continues to grow so the politicians pander and say they will repeal the solution (only because they want to be reelected) and soon start admitting the solution is actually worse than the original problem. So it has now evolved to the political mantra that the solution can’t be repealed because repealing it will cost too much money and will create more problems and exacerbate the original problem. While they’re stepping in high cotton on our dime due to their laws and regulations we the people are left to wade neck deep in their created swill. Anybody else getting sick of this crap?
“The administration then diverts discretionary dollars to fund new programs. When the Affordable Care Act is repealed, many important programs like Community Health Centers and the [federal] Immunization program at the Centers for Disease Control will be in jeopardy because their base funding … has been so significantly reduced.”
