You are sadly mistaken if you think it is over.

It hasn't been funded.

Just think about THAT for a moment.

What His Own committee recommended .. He didn't like and so .. He ignored it and NEVER offered any solutions of his own!

So NOW it's all the Republicans, Conservatives, Tea Party folks who are to blame for this mess we are in!
Standard & Poors informed him in January that we were in trouble of loosing our AAA rating if we didn't address our spending binge ways and address the growing deficit. And what did he do?

It should be obvious that this will have a very negative effect on the business climate and jobs, as employers will be hard pressed to meet the demands made upon them. This bill bypassed Congress almost entirely, as far as the actual writing of it, having been written behind closed doors without input from Congress. There was little debate and the bill was way too massive for anyone to read and understand.
What the Liberals seem to miss (on purpose?) is that THE PEOPLE really wanted the frivolous lawsuits and ambulance chasing lawyers to be taken out of the picture!

It is the doctors fear of lawsuits that is responsible for high health-care costs!
^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^

(All of a sudden .. I'm experiencing 'brain lock' and I can't for the life of me .. think of the term I am desperately searching for!)

But it was all televised and open to the public like Obama said, the most transparent administration ever.

Obama had little or nothing to do with Obamacare but will be blamed for it, "Pass it to see what in it" Pelosi and Reid are the main culprits.

Didn't he also disregard his Office of Legal Counsel's opinions on Libya? Seems like a pattern for this POTUS. After all, he wishes he was President of China instead so he wouldn't have to pay heed to any dissenters.

Oh you can believe one thing .. Pelosi and Reid both are nothing more than OBama's marionettes!

You had also better believe that OBama is responsible!

You just can't have it both ways .. He is either a Great Leader or .. He is not!?

I still say that the repeal of Obamacare will be one of the cost cutting measures our elected officials will make.

Hurts this country?.... where was your complaint when W passed Medicare Part D... This is an unfunded program that will drain massive Billions from a system ready to go under.

the health care plan is at least a funded option and as it is tailored I'm hoping it will eliminate duplication and become more effective.

I think we'll be seeing more and more people unhitching themselves from his wagon.

Even if they make up crap now about 'how they really felt' way back before they knew the outcome and aftermath of his policies.
