Republicans responded to news of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius' resignation from the Obama administration on Thursday with fresh calls to repeal the president's health care law.
Sebelius leaves the administration after the tumultuous launch of the Affordable Care Act exchanges last fall. Despite calls for her ouster from Republicans at the time, she stayed on until the enrollment period ended at the end of March.

The dream is that the Republicans would
stop supporting RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE.
THEY ARE THE SAME. STATE RUN MEDICINE.
How is that working out for you?
something must be just about to break regarding OC.
This is so bogus----Obama could care less about "crippling problems"---he just made a "victory lap," remember?
IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD Turns out Obama calculatedly setup a vehicle for consolidating Dummycrat power.....Obamacare's multi-billion dollar slush fund is key. Sibelius probably wasn't offshoring the big bucks ....like she was ordered to.
The Untraceable $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget---truly govt fraud at its finest. Egged on by Pelosi, no one in Congress told Americans about Section 4002---which mandates an $8B untraceable fund to "promote" Obamacare (apparently b/c Boobamba had so little confidence in his signature legislation). In 2010 Taxpayers are extorted $500 million, in 2011, $750 million, 2012, $1 billion, 2013, $1.25 billion, 2014, $1.5 billion and in 2015 and on, $2 billion.

Local couple upset after receiving pre-marked voter registration card from "Covered California" (Cali O/Care)
10news | 03-29-2014 | Preston Phillips / FR Posted by Kevin in California
A local couple called 10News concerned after they received an envelope from the state's Obamacare website, Covered California. Inside was a letter discussing voter registration and a registration card pre-marked with an "x" in the box next to Democratic Party.
============================================
And let's not forget the pricey "Louisisana Purchase."
THE PAPER TRAIL IS HUGE Sen Landrieu (Scumocrat-LA) sold her aye vote in what Forbes Magazine dubbed "The 'Louisiana Purchase" that included a massive $4.3 Billion to Landrieu.
FORBES REPORTED the Democrats nailed Landrieus support for Obamacare w/ a greenback bribe. Landrieu, critics believe, pledged her vote in exchange for some $200 million more additional federal funds for Louisiana. Except that, due to a drafting error, the law ended up giving Louisiana $4.3 billion: more than twenty times the assigned amount. MORE HERE http://www.forbes.com/fdc/welcome_mjx.shtml
How $4.3 billion to Landrieu was attached to the Obamacare bill, and how Obama and Reid failed to catch and fix it, is yet annother indictment of the Obamacare atrocity. The payoff to Landrieu should be investigated as an indication of how EVERY Democrat came to vote for Obamacare.
===============================================
BACKSTORY In the fall of 2009, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was trying to get the necessary 60 Dimocrat votes to pass the Affordable Care Act. He needed every Dim on board, which gave waffling senators a great deal of leverage. In Landrieu's case, she connivingly saw that selling her aye vote could get her maybe $200 million federal dollars. Obama complied--- Reid chalked up another vote for Obamacare---and the $4.3 Landrieu giveaway was attached to the Obamacare bill.
<><> Where'd the money go, Obama? <><>
That’s fighting?
Could be. We all know them Scummycrats ARE nervous as hell. Who can blame them? The 2014 polls are looking dismal by the hour.
WATTA LOYAL BUNCH Democrats plod in---saying for publication that they need to embrace ObamaCare's positives, even though ACA is seen as a bigger failure now than it was when the party got soundly defeated in 2010.
Behind closed doors Democrats know they face gale force political headwinds, dissatisfaction in their own ranks, struggling voters living with a dismal economy, the belief that Obama is dragging the country in the wrong direction (surefire losers at the polls).
(Sniffle) Dummycrats voting in unison for Obamcare is the kind of lock-stepping party loyalty has not been seen since 1940's era Europe. As they head for 2014, it must be hard for the Dummycrats to restrain themselves. (sob)
Kinda reminds me of Peter Sellers trying to subdue
his natural instincts to salute smartly der leader.
Sebelius’ “botched rollout” actually helped Obama. A clean rollout would have exposed Obamacare earlier, for the overpriced, choice-reducing, lie-filled piece of socialist crap that it is.
Just got wife’s renewal form from United Healthcare in N.J.
Premium jumped from $428 to $1122. New deductible is $2500.
Form says increase necessary in order to become ACA compliant.
At least my 63 year-old wife, 25 years after having her tubes tied, is covered for maternity care. Not sure if her prostate is covered.
“Where’d the money go, Obama?”
It does not matter where the money went. The thing is, it is all part of the cost of the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010”, a legalistic document whose sole purpose was to shift funds AWAY form those two claimed objectives of patient protection and affordable care.
It is easy enough to drizzle away sudden “windfalls” of money, just look at the history of a great majority of lottery winners. And $4.3 billion is easily dispersed, to no beneficial effect whatsoever, even in state as needy as Louisiana. Huey and Earl Long proved that long ago.
Guess THIS is why Harry Reid nixed the filibuster for nominations.
Otherwise Super Bowl LXXV would get played before her replacement would be confirmed.
STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE As far back as 2008, at the presidential debate in Nashville, Democrat candidate Obama advanced his signature plan that was ultimately enacted (by an historic straight Democrat party-line vote) into the "Affordable Care Act :
OBAMA: "No. 1, let me just repeat, if youve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All Im going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. Youll still have choice of doctor.
Repeated over and over ---- with the promise that every American would be saving $2500.00 on healthcare costs.
Democrats sap-happily marched in unison---repeating the "keep it" promise from coast to coast---exhibiting lock-stepping party loyalty not seen since 1940's-era Europe.
==================================================
Now Scummycrats ARE nervous. Who can blame them? The polls are looking dismal by the hour.

GOP,
Valerie Jarrett needs to go. Jarretts daughter was invovlved with the Obamacare website development firm.
Jarretts daughter of the Obama Care website fame is also linked to Michelle Obama.
From the looks of things, Obamacare was designed to cut the legs from under those who “had it too good” by making the choices necessary to buy their own insurance or get it through an employer.
Tenth amendment much?
Rip it out !
Wouldn’t her replacement, Burwell, be the one who actually pulled the trigger on the government shutdown that the Dems love to blame on Republicans? If so, that could make for some interesting Q&A material during confirmation hearings.
Why don’t you grow up and realize that Romneycare was a democratic program and Romney had no choice but to sign. And Romneycare was a State Program. Get wise or maybe you are too clever to think.
