Has anybody noticed that ALL of the people who pushed Obamacare are trying to get out of it now?

The Unions without whom Obamacare never would have passed. The IRS workers who have the responsibility of FORCING you to buy insurance. The very people who wrote the godawful mess. Max Baucus, the principal author calls it a "trainwreck." Anybody want to bet that Congress tries to weasel out of it before its over? Is there anybody besides Barack Obama himself who still believes in this abomination?

    because the more we know about this train wreck it just keeps getting worse. Obama is out trying to push this with the lies about the rebates which are mostly going to the large corporations, not to individuals and of course he is counting on his uninformed voters to sign up for the state exchanges it will be interesting to see if the college kids who voted for him will realize that it is their wealth that he plans to redistribute. 75% of the cost is for the new definition of millionaire under the Obama definition of 120,000. down from the previous 250,000. he is hoping on the 2014 elections to keep the senate and gain congress. the middle class is dying under his policies, if this happens, all we will have is part time jobs. lets see if these college kids are paying attention.

    I don't know anyone trying to get out of it.

    The Affordable Health Care Act went through the legal process where it became law. The law was then upheld by the right wing SC.

    We know you don't like it but what are you going to replace it with? Or do you prefer we revert back to the same mess where 40 million Americans get their health care in the ER at taxpayer expense?

    Anyone can inhibit progress by tearing down something serving a purpose ... that's easy. The challenge is to come up w/ something better. We're still waiting for the rep plan.

    Obama care was fashioned after Romney care. Why are the reps against it now that the name changed?

    Why do the righties harp on things like this and Roe v Wade? Why is it so difficult to let go? America will move ahead regardless. If the reps were left to their own device they would take us backwards.

    Probably not ALL of them. Funny about the Unions..makes me think that the union leadership (not the members) have been overcharging employers for health care of their members and skimming some off the top.

    Thats one of the ways that the AHCA will save money from corruption and waste.

    But heres the kicker, when it goes into place next year fully and everyone who gets insurance pays less, Republicans will NEVER be able to do a damn thing about it! LMAO!

    They had this same fight with Medicare and Social Security but look at them now....they have a better chance of seeing God then removing these ...same with Obamacare.

    You have it all wrong, my friend. They still want ObamaCare for you and me, but they also want special exemption, because these people are just now finding out they already have better healthcare plans.

    I heard. Even the union for the I.R.S. wants out. What a facking shame of a black man who could of been a good president for the black community.

    THIS IS A KNOWN FACT AND AN EMBARRASSMENT TO THE OBAMA BUTT BRAINS.

    Anybody want ten bucks for free? Anybody? No, you do NOT have to pay it back. It's completely free. The liberals would really have us believe the lie---that it free. I guarantee you, the employers won't pay for it. American employers have learned how to prosper---with part-time employees.
