What the dingbats out there don't seem to realize is that the Republicans had several chances to stop Obamacare. They tried to keep it from being passed by Congress - and they failed. They tried to challenge it in the Supreme Court - and they failed. They tried to elect a President who would try to rescind the law - and they failed.
When will the Tea Party and Republicans realize that they are the party of failure?
The Affordable Care Act is the law of the land. Suck it the hell up and stop trying to destroy this country!
I'm an outside observer, (Canadian) and my opinion will mean nothing to you, but the way I see it is that this is nothing but extortion by the republicans and if they succeed the loser will be the American people. Your uncompromising two party system is absolutely screwed up.
Our system is set up with 3 branches of government, at one time they had checks and balances all along the way.

Yes it was and it brought balance and along with it compromise between the Parties, it worked. Then one side descided they would fight Everything the other guys wanted to do and ended compromise, heck they consider it to be a dirty word. Once the current system was in place the government stopped functioning and we are where we are today. We got the government we voted in over the last several elections and I believe there will be more big changes in the next election, and I do not think the GOP is going to like the results. The American Voters are sick and tired of the Political Games by both sides but one side is going to pay far more because it is always due to their actions that puts us in this position.
All i know is the govt employees had nothing to do with wild spending- the main agenda is to stop spending money-- cut your salaries dearies and let the everyday govt employee get back to real work. You guys are sleeping at the wheel and have for a long time,, You -who have been there for years are at fault for all this spending,,, the prez has only been here what- 6 yrs? and then you blame the little people... like MANY employees are openly saying- you are acting like little kids ! Obamacare is LAW- the prez is the prez and it is time to move on!!!
The truth is, the house and senate republicans had sis months to compromise using the usual conference comittees, and they refused. Boehner has always had the chance to compromise with Obama, but starting in January, he refused. Now, the House has sent up a bunch of outlandish Continuing resolutions, which themselves are only needed because they've refused to do this jobs in the first place. So it's pretty absurd to claim that Obama or Reid are the ones who refuse to negotiate.
If leftwing whacky world, compromise means republicans HAVE to do what ever dems want. It's never the other way in the land of the LWNJ c-d poster.
The law was already passed and is passed the "compromise" faze. As other posters have already stated, Republicans lost the fight to stop the Affordable Care Act, they lost the challenge in the Supreme Court in which they claimed it was unconstitutional, and then they lost the election. It in a law now, so there's nothing to compromised about...
