The only reason Republicans wanted to do delay the start of the ACA was to push it out just far enough so it would happen during Nov 2014 election.
The ACA was already signed into law, and a plan for implementing it was in place, so there was no reason to delay it any longer.
Republicans simply can't stand the fact that the ACA was passed, so they continue to throw roadblocks in it's way every chance they get, even if it meant THEIR OWN ACTIONS would result in a government shutdown.
Obama and Reid stood their ground ... as they should! 
The Republicans were the ones to blame for the shutdown! |
"Leave it up to the Republicans in Congress, and millions of Americans would

1. Obama and his minions used the number 30 million uninsured over and over during his push for his plan.
That number was debunked down to 10 million if you took out the 10 million who CHOSE not to get insurance and 10 million for illegals.
Later he started using 40 million, then 51 million then 40 million again. One day he might get it straight.
2. The GAO, who goes over laws and comes up with data for the laws has stated that even AFTER Obamacare is in full force there will STILL be 30 MILLION not insured. Hmm!
3. It is CLEAR you don't understand English. The repubs OFFERED TO FUND THE ENTIRE GOV'T FOR A YEAR if Obama and the dems in the Senate would postpone the INDIVIDUAL MANDATE FOR 1 YEAR.
The response was NO COMPROMISE.
4. "The ACA was already signed into law, and a plan for implementing it was in place,
so there was no reason to delay it any longer." Explain the thousands of POSTPONEMENTS (waivers) Obama granted AND the POSTPONEMENT OF THE BUSINESS MANDATE if what you claim is true. I guess you think it is OK to postpone the parts he likes but, there is no reason to postpone anything else because, "The ACA was already signed into law. I guess those "other"arts are NOT part of the law.
