Insurance profit margins arent very big in the scheme of things...

Just more of, "You can keep your plan if you like it." ("Oh, and if you can afford it.")

And, "We'll reduce a typical families premiums by $2,500." ("Someday, over the rainbow.")

Remember, "You can keep your doctor." ("If she is covered under your new plan.")

Kind of makes you see blue, don't it?

Yes, yes, I can hear Crystal Gayle warming up now.

Conservatives warn us about Obamacare??

Republicans want Obamacare to fail (and republicans want Obamacare to hurt as many people as possible, to get them mad at democrats, so those angry Americans will vote republican.)

There are only (3) republicans in Washington that want to fix Obamacares problems.

The rest of the republicans in Washington want Obamacare to fail and hurt people, so they can use Obamacare as a political weapon to win elections.

If we had more than (3) republicans in Washington who were willing to fix Obamacare, then Obamacare would be hurting hardly no one.

Its strange how conservatives complain about Obamacare hurting people (when republicans in Washington want Obamacare to hurt people.)

The entire notion of paying anything towards health care is offensive to most receiving public assistance

Republicans will not (fix) Obamacare.

Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) has a plan to stop Obamacare from hurting small businesses, its called the “Small Business Fairness in ObamaCare Act." But only (2) other republicans in Washington supported the bill, and the bill can not pass.

The conservative mind knows how to stop Obamacare from hurting small businesses, and I'm sure the conservative mind could stop Obamacare from hurting other Americans as well. But if the republicans fixed Obamacare, they would no longer be able to put campaign commercials on TV saying "Obamacare is hurting people, and we have to vote against anyone who supports Obama."

Not a change by the republicans but their effort to stop Medicaid expansion in conservative strong holds is hurting millions. But what ever, I guess the poor truly don't mater because theiy are undeserving and leeches, right?

I don't know why conservatives complain so much about obamacare. Is it because rich people will have less money to spend on golden toilets? If you had it your way, all poor people would have no health insurance. I know I was never able to afford health insurance until I got an Obamacare plan. So I do not fall for these silly scare tactics.

That doesnt answer the question.

Again what changes DID REPUBLICANS make, to cause Obamacare to FAIL..

Saying they wont fix it, would mean that its a POS and needs fixed, but Democrats are the ones who passed it..

Are you telling me Democrats passed a POS? Thats hell of an admission there chad..
