Nice victory, but no dice. It was insufficient, and can't stop the implementation of the ACA.
So, about that trouncing....
I agree, ACA can't be stopped, too many companies want to get out of providing healthcare for their employees by dumping it on the government.
I don't know why Democrats are crowing about this though....just wait till you and yours are rolled over into a private exchange. It's just going to be the same thing as before, except in a couple of years it's going to cost more and give you less.
New boss, same as the old boss, except now the government burearcrats will be running the show with more waste and less efficiency.
I just heard on NPR today that the house plans to shut down the government, unless the government agrees to basically kill ObamaCare. When is this belligerent stupidity going to stop? Sheesh, they are sounding more and more like the Taliban.
What is wrong with rational, centrist governance? When did conservatives decide to send in the goon squad instead of real leaders? It is just getting insane.
Obama won because the GOP didn't have a strong candidate, not because of Obamacare, since the majority of Americans are against it. Obama is a campaigner, not a leader.
What do you mean by the GOP not having a strong candidate? Don't people vote on issues? Romney clearly stated that he would get rid of Obamacare and that was one of his campaign talking points. Why didn't all these people against it come out and vote for Romney? And if they didn't vote because they didn't like Romney then shame on them and they have no cause to complain.

"You and your's?"
You'll be in an exchange before I will. Bet on it.

Obamacare was upholded by SCOTUS in 2012 - and GOP House and Senate member can uphold responsible health care, the definition that meets Obamacare does not meet.

The government won't be shut down, conservatives bump their heads each year on this issue and those bond investors who own them and liberal politicians as well put them back in their place. It's disgusting honestly.
Sure sure. Shut it down and open up a Universal/National/Single Payer system. Then claim to be heros for keep everyone from that nasty "obamacare". Brilliant actually.
Single payer, universal system will never happen in this country due to two words - Corporate Greed.
Obama had to take it off the table, remember?
