They have been working for three years, to get things as ready as they know how.

Good. I look forward to Republican and bi-partisan recommendations fro improving the legislation as it moves forward.
When do you think the changes to allow a public option in the exchanges will be introduced by a Republican House member? That'll certainly drive down costs, which is one of their stated primary concerns.

Small problem there, the Repubs have no solutions to anything lately, their only talent is to do Nothing unless it helps their handlers and whining. Not to worry there will be fewer and fewer of them in office over the next few years and that will be that. Hopeful a Party built upon common sense and the Will of the People will emerge and share power along with the Dems.

How? It's Obama's way or the highway.

Why should the repubs fix anything?

The dems voted (ONLY DEMS) this in and now everyone is complaing that the repubs cannot fix anything?

It should have been fixed prior to implimentation....

Pretty damn pathetic...

Well so much for employees able to keep their policies if they are happy with them. Aetna pulled out of the NY exchange and either employers will have to find another alternative for their employees or 79,000 workers will have to go to the exchange to get insurance.


The ACA has also already done damage to the employer subsidized package we now have as not only did our rates go up 28% but we have to use a different mail order pharmacy which will no longer mail 90 day prescriptions. So instead of paying $62.50 for one of my husband's scripts for a 90 day supply. I will now be paying $50 for a 30 day supply and that is only 1 of 4 prescriptions he is now on due to his stroke. I'm going to forego my own prescriptions as we just can't afford it.

TY Mr. Obama from the working people of America!

So their only reply is to kill off a Demoratic plan based on a Republican plan. One is either part of the solution or part of the problem, recommending no changes means one is either happy with the plan or they have no ideas Or they are playing political games.

It's to delay it, not kill it...see they compromised......

They changed it the way they think it needs to be.

You are right, someone is playing political games, both sides.

Why delay it?
They changed nothing they simply did not fund it, and then claim the other guiys are at fault.
Correct. But guess who is going to pay.
