The GOP is afraid Obama care will work just fine.

[slater71]

That is why they can not afford to let it pass. If they pass it, then they know 2016 is over for them. It is all about Obama winning and nothing to do with the people not wanting it. Ted (Canada) Cruz just said on TV that they received a 1.5 million signatures to reject Obama care. There are over 350 million people in this country. The poll was in Texas more than likely.

1. There are.

They know full well how it is and often complain about it. They'll never get rid of Medicare or Social Security either. That bugs them no end. So they know this will stick, too.

[Cryptoad]

13. YOu forgot Public Education

but it is backseat to ACA and SS right now!

[alphafemale]

2. Oh...absolutely.

That is why the lying bastards are spinning wheels and digging deeper.

Once it kicks in and people see the benefits?

The Randians are fearified .

Good.

[Iggo]

3. They already passed it.

It's the law.

[malaise]

12. +1,000

Fugg em

[kardonb]

14. law

what do you mean " law " ? It doesn't count. Only our hissy fits count ! We love to ram our useless heads into brick walls , it keeps us from being rational human beings .

[Bobcat]

4. Passed

It has ALREADY passed, been signed by the President, and upheld as constitutional by the SCOTUS. It is the LAW. Republicans are trying to subvert the law. How "patriotic" of them......

[rock]

5. Furthermore, it will.

In fact I would say it will work GREAT.

[gopiscrap]

6. Exactly

[GoneFishin]

7. Yep. Crapping their pants. nt

[Jefferson23]

8. They're terrified of the day the data overwhelmingly supports Obamacare in practice. Right now

they're relying on their lies of how detrimental it will be so it must not be funded to
ensure no positive outcome..yep. Their delay tactics will do more harm to them, I do believe they'll pay a
price for it in 2014...or should depending on how smart the Democrats place focus on their
constant obstruction.

[Wounded Bear]

9. Actually, I'm pretty sure they KNOW it will work...

If there was any doubt that it would work, they'd be more ambivalent about it. The PTB don't want it to do what it probably will do, which is cut into their profits.

[TroglodyteScholar]

10. What do you mean "let it pass?"

It's law. The bill was passed long ago and upheld by the supreme court.

[slater71]

15. My fault

I mistyped. You are correct

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. When ObamaCare succeeds, the GOP will try to take credit for it. nt

[SunSeeker]

16. Those 1.5 million people were outvoted in 2008 and again in 2012.

The American people have spoken. They want the ACA.

[dickthegrouch]

17. That's 1.5 million who admit to being ignorant and stupid

If they knew what Obamacare really provided for them, they couldn't possibly say they were against it.

[Scurrilous]

18. K & R

[IronLionZion]

19. Hopefully 2014 will be over for them

Once we start seeing all the happy faces of people getting insurance for the first time and treatment for chronic conditions after waiting so many years in a country that "doesn't ration care or have waiting lists" there will be a lot of support for the party that built this country's 3 most popular and influential social programs: social security, medicare, ACA. Instead of the party of trillion dollar wars who tried to gut these programs and give big tax breaks for billionaires.

Check any GOP board like Free Republic, and watch them piss their pants in fear that this will be the springboard towards single payer since more firms are decoupling health insurance from employment. If people can take their health insurance with them when they switch jobs or go freelance, its much harder to exploit workers through fear.
