What phony facts might that be? That you can't keep the popular parts of the law if you repeal the mandate? Anyone with even a modicum of critical thinking skills will understand why that is true.

Virtually no one outside of government wants single payer. That's why this whole ObamaCare scheme was cooked up - to weed out insurance companies and funnel everyone to a single government payer system.

If people REALLY wanted single payer - they would campaign on it... but the single payer supporters know that would be the end of them.

We became stand up comics when we kicked your miserable azzs so far out into space you can't be found with a telescope, on Nov 8th, the day that shall live on in infamy, as the day the Clinton crime family was done away with, taking all of their loud mouth supporters down the drain along with them. How is life living in the sewer?
It becomes obvious listening you, exactly why your side lost, it's called "Clueless.."
You and your ilk have lost all credibility, talk on, no one is listening any more..From now on, we speak, you listen, the adults have taken over..

You say this as if repealing it would make a difference. What part of it's not working do you not understand?

The Democrats could of made it work; seizure assets, wage garnishments, prison.... of course that would of immediately killed it. Now we are stuck with this mess because of the irresponsibility of Democrats that passed legislation to score some political points regardless of the consequences.

They're not obligated to provide a replacement. If you want single-payer or universal healthcare, then work through your State. You do know what a "State" is, don't you?

You do realize that the phrase "live in infamy" was first used to describe the bombing of Pearl Harbor, correct?

Ah, well, you are welcome to describe your candidate's victory in any terms you like, I suppose...

Yes they can. Not one republican voted for that crap sandwich making it easy for them to repeal it with the majority they have in both houses.

People elected him with these things in their minds. If he does not follow through, he will learn quick enough that the voting process can also remove him from office.
Those were recent changes, he promised to repeal Obama Care on his first day in office.


How does he fund those new promises.
