Do u Find It Pathetic How Repubs Are Happy That It's Taking Longer For People to Get Obamacare?
Because of the trouble with the website, Repubs seem to be real glad that poor people can't quite get healthcare yet. Funny, but when they passed Medicare Part D and it rolled out glitchy, Democrats actually helped to fix it; they didn't point and laugh.

Not really. What I find pathetic is the lies and distortions your side keeps
putting out. This fall apart piece of crap is the most obvious blunder since
the bay of pigs invasion. Over 500 million dollars blown on a 94 million
dollar website. I would highly recommend you investigate some of the
charges which were aired today at the Committee Hearing. You would
have been really proud of some of your left outs. When faced with stone
cold facts. They buried there heads in the sand and stomped their little
feet. But then what else is new. The worst thing for anyone to be is without'
health care coverage. No one on either side wishes that. We just don't agree
with the way this was shoved up the *** of the American People. Let
alone all the lies and deceptions about it. You know skippy. If it were a
good plan. Worked for eveyone. No one would say a damn thing.
Chew on that for a little bit.

It's less about being happy that it's taking longer to get Obamacare than it is being happy that the incompetence behind Obamacare is starting to show itself and people are taking notice. Republicans HAVE tried to help. They are the ones who first suggested that the individual mandate be delayed. They are the ones who pushed through reinstating the validation process when applying for an Obamacare subsidy. Now, the deadline for applying for insurance has been delayed 6 weeks, by HHS.
Saying that Republicans are "happy" that poor people can get health care is a highly dishonest, spiteful, inflammatory cheap shot on your part. This, when Obamacare ITSELF is responsible for 300,000 people in Florida being told they will LOOSE their existing health care plan because it doesn't conform to Obamacare minimums. 160,000 in California are loosing theirs too. So much for, "If you like your insurance, you can keep it."

Yes, it's pathetic and self-serving, but politics in general is like that - people trying to force an ideological, political, almost abstract point at the highest levels of government without even thinking about the realities of that point down where the rubber hits the road, where poor working people with actual problems have to actually implement the politicians' grandiose ideas based on abstraction rather than concrete reality.
Corporate businesses are often like this too.

As if we did not warn you that the government would drop the ball.
It does not make us happy because we know this is only the tip of the iceberg.
This is mild inconvience compared to what we believe is eventually in store for us, which is that government beauacracy, will eventually start to cost people their lives.
When the Department of Education screws up, it only means that people are going to have to learn something on their own.
When the Department of the Interior screws up, people have to find another place to live.
Those are bad enough.
With Healthcare, people's lives are literally at stake.
Hope that helps.

No one is happy that people can't sign up for Obamacare. Republicans are just happy they are being vindicated from all the lies the democrats said about them when the republicans said the government was not ready to run Obamacare.
Republicans are also not happy that poor people still won't be able to afford to go to the doctor. By the time they pay the 1200 dollars in premiums and 5000 dollars in deductible, they still can't afford to go to the doctor.

Who's laughing? The whole thing is a cluster f ***. If poor people couldn't afford it before, what makes you think they can afford it now? It's not like they are signing up for free health care...it still costs them money and if they can't afford to sign up, they'll be fined at tax time.
Do you know this stuff and just like being a wise a ss or are you really that ignorant of what's going on in your country?

I'm not happy about it. I wish it wasn't happening because I wish we were using a different approach in the first place.
I tried to tell people that the government always effs things up. But nooooooo you wouldn't listen
Well here you go. 0bama stepped on his wee wee right out of the gate. And dum basses like you expected it to work.
Government is a necessary evil. It is not your daddy.
Now go ahead and report this. You know you want to.

Kind of like how delighted you were that the government was shut down, because it made the republicans look bad. Yeah exactly like that.

I find it extremely sad people are losing their current coverage because of the ACA law . I don't want the government controlling my medical information in it's inefficient hands.

Who is happy? How does pointing out the facts correlate to being happy? You folks from Canada really are ignorant.
