Where GOP Can Strike Obamacare If when It Takes Senate FIFY  :-)
   
DYLAN SCOTT – MARCH 17, 2014, 6:00 AM EDT

Facing the very real possibility of a GOP-controlled Senate in 2015, health industry insiders are working up a wish list -- the changes they'd like made to the Affordable Care Act under a fully Republican Congress.

But they're also a little unsettled by the prospect of GOP control in Congress: Nobody is sure what exactly the Republicans would do if they had the opportunity to legislate however it wanted on the health care reform law.

It's plausible that Republicans would simply continue their absolutist opposition to President Barack Obama's signature legislation, especially if they view capturing the Senate as a vindication of their anti-Obamacare messaging. In that scenario, expect more symbolic repeal votes that the House has taken over the last few years. That would force Obama to pull out his veto pen again and again to defend the law.

The GOP's absolutist position would also keep the health insurance industry nervously on edge. Disruptive legislative actions like repealing the individual mandate or cutting funding for tax subsidies would be worrisome for companies that have spent four years adjusting to and investing in Obamacare's new reality.

This might be what worries the primitives.

2. The GOP doesn't have to fund the ACA with new appropriations...anyone think of that?
The ACA is not self-supporting.

3. And when the mandates and subsidies are slashed the 'affordable' goes away....



Hey Demo DUmmie, the affordable went away as soon as they printed it on paper.  Even using fuzzy math it still doesn't add up.

But the democrats got what they wanted....another big bite of socialism....and a step closer to full fledged communism.

No problem.  Get Michelle to stop taking vacations and the White House can fund ObamaCare for a year or two on those savings.

The steady drumbeat of the DEMS losing big in the midterm has started ... (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024678593)


Why can't we just wait and find out rather consigning us to defeat from day 1..

This is infuriating beyond words ...as this can become a self fulfilling prophecy

3. the real drumbeat should be 'how the f*ck can republicans win anything?

they offer nothing to the voters.
.....other than to keep a little more of what they earn, instead of supporting dead-beats.
.....other than a better chance to keep the Constitution in one piece.
&etc

29. Dem leaders hate America.

Make sure you tell that to everyone you meet, because that will definitely get them to the polls.

Everybody already knows that but I'll make sure to pass it along.
