And if he does not, will there be enough votes in Congress to override his veto?
Too late.
Declaring it so doesn’t make it so.
Imagine a zoning law draconian enough that whole neighborhoods had to be bulldozed to comply. As the last houses tumble, the occupants scream “but you said we could keep our homes!” loud enough that the zoning board relents and declares “fine, you can keep your homes.” Too late, the homes are destroyed and gone.
Likewise health care plans. Anything which doesn’t comply with the new law has been overhauled to a modified & more expensive form, or cancelled outright. The plans we wanted to keep are gone. The insurance companies are not going to recreate them for a few people, as they required broader adherence to work. “You can keep your plan!” the Left will declare. Too damn late: the plans are gone, the declaration meaningless but as an example of how far out of touch with reality the Left is.
So, Obama could hold the Democrats hostage? Sweet!
I told you guys that when the Debt Limit can the Democrats kicked down the road came rolling to a stop the Obamacare worms would slither out. They are now out and they don’t have a clue as to how to get then back in the can.
Maryland "Freak State" PING!
It’s all political theater. IF it passed, who cares what O does? It finally shows that, not unlike the Catastrophic Health Act in the 80’s, the lies have been exposed.
What people do with it is up to them. If they can “keep it if they like it” then the whole thing is moot.
Thus the next logical step by the GOP House (don’t hold your breath) is a simple one paragragh bill that simply says whatever law number this was passed under is 100% repealed with no exceptions.
Let the Dems eat that one too. But even though Xmas is coming I won’t hold out for that gift.
But I’m sure the moderate RINO’s will start back with their useless repeal “And Replace” crap.
Call it the Senator Ted Cruz Was Right Act.
This is funny!
Obama won’t sign such bill, because if he does, the entire ZeroCare pyramid scheme will come unglued.
They voted for it “to find out whats in it” and now that they know, VOTE TO RECIND IT!!!
How does passing this bill get my insurance company to reconsider dropping all group health insurance plans at the end of this year?
I do not believe the Demonrats will EVER vote for that bill.
Even if the bill passes, and the Clown SIGNS it, there is every reason to believe the Clown will NOT enforce the law.
The Clown does NOT enforce existing law—by design. He has proven that over and over again.
Because he is just another lying Marxist trying to pretend that he is doing his best for the voters leading up to an election.
If nothing else, such an act would probably sink a number of Dems and further expose him as the lying POS charlatan he is. He might finally be backed into a corner that has some teeth. Then again - I do fantasize a lot these days as I try to answer my tag line...
If this is the narrative, it is much, much worse than we know or have been told. If democrats are leaning towards re-write of a law that has been their signature piece of legislation, they’re not far from repeal. If the republicans throw them a lifeline now, the democrats will turn around and try to hang them with it next year.
On Saturday they’ll be voting on the “Stop the Tides From Rising and Falling Act.”
