(1,068 posts)The GOP intentionally screwed up the implementation of Obamacare so instead of a smooth, easily administered transfer from repug capitalistic, expensive, greed-inspired private "healthcare" insurance companies to a more progressive, centralized affordable health partnership between individuals and the governement. Because the GOP stole a bunch of elections in 2010, of course the system was going to be messed with.
We have to win on three fronts. First, we need to ensure that, through the IRS, we negate the formation of Tea Party groups while expediting the acceptance of progressive groups so we can legally fund the promotion of socialist, humanist movements away from oppressive capitalism. Second, we need to ensure that we promote Obamacare in as many edcuational institutions as possible to ensure our students both understand the need for single-payer Obamacare as well as to eliminate any possibilty they may become republicans in the future. Finally, we need to shore up support for Obamacare without the spector of GOP mudslinging and intentional destruction, despite the millions of deaths they will cause to poor Americans and undocument immigrants.
Keep in mind the COMPLETE war, and not worry about the battles. We have everything well in hand for the destruction of the republican party by 2020.

Also, it means HHS has another year to actually figure out how to do the accounting here, which has always been a huge problem.
