Harry Reid let the cat out of the bag recently when he admitted, on a Nevada PBS show, that Obamacare is but a step in the direction of a single-payer health care system. Amazing how most of the lame stream media which suckles on Obummer failed to report this unusual truth-telling by Reid. Guess Dear Leader really was lying when he said folks would be able to keep their same doctor and insurance. Also amazing is a recent FedSmith survey of federal employees on Obamacare: 97% of them want nothing to do with it! How can this be? The federal unions all told us that Obamacare was the best thing to happen since sliced bread, so why don't they insist on being included under it? The people to administer Obamacare want nothing to do with it for themselves? What hypocrites! The House/Senate should immediately amend this monstrosity to include all federal employees, Obama and Biden, all military and contractors....with no exceptions, whatever. The best way to get rid of bad law is to stringently enforce it on everyone and allow no one to be exempted.

Well, lets talk about beliefs being shoved down throats, shall we?

The ACA was duly passed by the legislature, signed by the President, and upheld by SCOTUS. Being the Constitutional Scholar, that you are, you know this was perfectly by the book.

I also recall that 2012 election (not that long ago), the president ran against a man whose number one priority was to repeal the ACA "On Day One". In fact, that was almost the only thing he talked about. If the American people wanted to repudiate the ACA, this election was the perfect time to do so.

Yet the President was reelected in the only poll that counts--an actual election.

The way to repeal a law is through the legislative process. Yet your side does not have the votes.

So what do the right wingers resort to? Parliamentary stunts and holding a political gun to the rest of us via threats to shut sown the government if you don't get your way. Temper tantrum politics.

Did I mention that you guys lost the last election? Does that not mean anything to you? What is it about democratic process that you don't understand?

I think it is the radical right wing shoving their crap down the throats of the rest of us.

Looking forward to your standard issue insults.

Insult is not argument. If you do not know the difference between a tax on investment income and a transfer tax, then your ignorance is your problem. I am not going to take the time to explain it to you.

What does it have to do with healthcare? Who cares? It is just a funding mechanism. Its the law, which your side could have stopped if you had the votes. Finding democracy a little irritating, are we?

What does defunding the ACA have to do with keeping the government from shutting down? Oh thats right--the right wingers are throwing a hissy fit because they do not like the results of the last election.

Only right wingers can add irrelevant noise to public policy discussions? Don't be such hypocrites. It is just too transparent and altogether laughable.

The right wing are speaking out for what many "ordinary" people want. Many "ordinary" people do not want to be FORCED to purchase healthcare insurance. The ACA is losing its appeal to some who thought they would get something for nothing. Yes, some of the low information voters were thinking they were going to get a free ride. Now they are learning that they are not. They will have to pay for insurance and they are not liking it. The republicans have stated from the beginning that in its current state the ACA will not be successful. So what's the harm in waiting another year to get the wrinkles ironed out so to speak. Are the libs so afraid of losing it because its so bad? I personally....just like with photography...only want the best plan laid out. I don't think wasting money and causing excess stress while ironing out "wrinkles" is a good plan. And I certainly don't believe giving the IRS the authority to oversee the compliance of the plan is reasonable.
