The Affordable Care Act

[Dondilion]

Obama today was very effective based on the reaction of the locals.

Everyone was blasting the repubs.

It is rare that I get this uniformity from my local street lawyers.

They're right, my friend.

The repubs suck at this game, buncha idiota pendejos.

Are you for every expenditure that our government incurs using your tax dollars? So why pick on Obamacare?

Obamacare is a hastily drawn act and no one really understands it even now. So it the the duty of the legislature to negotiate and whittle away the bad parts and make it workable. Shutting down the government just because a small group does not like it is political terrorism. You do realize that if Boehner allows the congress to vote on the CR as drafted by the Senate, it will pass? Instead he is held hostage by the TP. I read somewhere that the best Boehner could do is to allow a vote in Congress, let the act pass and then resign his leadership. Now that would be real leadership.

Here is a well written letter to an editor on this topic:

"The House claims that the law is hurting millions of Americans. What, pray tell, does shutting down the government do to help the millions of Americans caught in the middle of this fight?"

Let me put this a succinctly as possible - I would sooner vote for a sexual deviant as vote for a republican

They're sadistic nihilists?

Holy crap! Five million hits at California's exchange.

"Kicking off a historic healthcare expansion, California's new insurance market stumbled out of the gate with computer glitches, long hold times and an online enrollment delay for small businesses.
Still, many consumers rushed to get coverage Tuesday when enrollment opened nationwide as part of President Obama's Affordable Care Act. It was a rocky start for many government-run insurance exchanges across the country as computers froze and online enrollment was postponed for several hours.
In California, officials nonetheless took heart at the stronger-than-expected response: about 5 million online hits and more than 17,000 calls."

It's ending up being the GOP's worst dream. 10 million unique visitors to PPACA websites yesterday. Much of the public seems to want Obamacare after all. Their balloon is deflating.

Mebbe so. We'll have to wait until mid November when our exchange publishes some real numbers on enrollment. Dollars to donutz it'll be huge and nothing at all like a train wreck.
