Gov. Scott Walker speaks at the Road to Majority 2015 convention on Saturday night in Washington.



Gov. Scott Walker says that, if he were president, repealing President Barack Obama’s health care law would be a priority in his first 100 days in office.

Walker made the comments Thursday on FOX News’ “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.”

The point of discussion was this week’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld the federal government’s use of tax subsidies to working- and middle-class families to buy health coverage under the law.

Walker said the ruling shows the next president must be someone who would push for a full repeal of the law. Van Susteren asked Walker how he would dismantle the law if he were president.

“What I learned from four years ago when I first started as governor, you’ve got to push big, bold reforms early. So I would work with the next Congress to find that position within the first 60 to 100 days,” Walker said. “One of the first acts would be to push through a change that would fully repeal Obamacare.”

The next step, Walker said, would be to replace it with a health care law that “allows patients (to) be in charge of their healthcare decisions” and “lets the market drive things.”

This well not happen--simple as that!

1. These pols keep imagining Obamacare to be some state-controlled NHS type program

The next step, Walker said, would be to replace it with a health care law that “allows patients (to) be in charge of their healthcare decisions” and “lets the market drive things.”

Oh, so like Obamacare?

[patricia92243]

11. It is wonderful to see that he believes people should "be in charge of their healthcare

decisions."

I assume that means women get to decide if they want a pregnancy.

[still_one]

20. They are absolute idiots. They keep calling the ACA socialism. I cannot believe how stupid the

republican candidates are

[randys1]

26. It is more about how deep their hatred is for Black man. And at us too, we voted for Black man

and if you are getting subsidies, it will give him and his friends an orgasm if they can take them away from you.

[DhhD]

2. If ACA ended, the loss in revenue from premiums would be passed on to the employed workers in

America. Neither the workforce nor the insurance companies would put up with that especially if the removal of ACA was a campaign issue, then Sander's policy on single-payer would be very popular. People remember how premiums continued to rise and a refund was given in 2012 and 2013. People knew they were being ripped off by the insurance companies.

3. Obamacare is staying, Walker is not.

Next question, please.

[riversedge]

4. ...

[Scuba]

5. Breaking: Wanker reads script handed to him by David Koch

[cosmicone]

7. Actually, the Kochroaches are not against Obamacare

This is where the puppet is improvising for the teabagging audience without orders from the master.

[riversedge]

15. spotted ALEC

[Thespian2]

14. Old saying must be true:

Once a Koch-sucker, always a Koch-sucker...


Great picture...

[Joe Turner]

28. That picture perfectly captures the essence of this Koch Stooge

This college drop out could never make it on his own, so he sells his soul to corrupt corporatists to fulfill his empty political ambitions. If this puppet ever get close to the presidency we are headed for the dark ages.

[Marthe48]

29. Hey Scott, can you spell 'F' as in repeal?

There is no 'F' in repeal, you nasty piece of bellybutton lint.

[mdbl]

6. If this country allows this idiot into the white house

We deserve to be treated just as crappy as Wisconsin has been. Lower wages, lower self-esteem and no health care. What a great thing to vote for. Still wondering about the morons in Wisconsin who think he's all that and a bag of chips.

[HelenWheels]

22. Not all Wisconsinites think he is all that

Very hard to go against unlimited funds available to Walker from the Kochs. We tried out damnest but came up short. Walker played his cards very well and appealed to the lowest instincts of many voters, made them hate public workers then teachers all based on "they (pw and teachers) have more than we do."

[cilla4progress]

27. Great, so -

drag others down, rather than lifting everyone up.

At some point, humans have to ask themselves why this logic works?

How long till these dangerous fools burn out?

[cosmicone]

8. Scott, Romney promised to cancel ACA on "Day 1"

and it didn't work too well for him.

Idiot.

[asjr]

9. Some times I wonder if all the Republicans running

for the job of president actually want us to see just how stupid they are.

[patricia92243]

10. At what point will bragging about ending Obmacare be considered a hindrance to becoming

President. If a candidate said they would end SS or medicare, there would zero chance of getting elected.

I'm just wondering if by the time the election actually happens in approximately 17 months that saying a candidate will end Obamacare will be a death sentence for that candidate.

[Turbineguy]

12. Good idea!

Why wait until the end of the term to do as much harm as possible? I presume giving the SS trust fund to wall street to gamble away would be next?

[Ed Suspicious]

23. Absolutely.

[Bossy Monkey]

13. Also, he'd like a pony. n/t

[old guy]

16. It's statements like this that assure me that he will never be nominated let alone be elected.

This is a dead ender position and will not play well nationally.

[heaven05]

17. he looks challenged

geez!! stupid POS

[secondvariety]

18. Good thing

he's as close to being President as he ever will be.

[MissMillie]

19. Said it before, I'll say it again

The longer people have access to health care, the harder it will be for the "repeal" crowd to get elected.

[MsMAC]

21. NOT WORRIED! He'll NEVER

be President!

[Third Doctor]

24. ACA is market based and it was a republican idea.

The question is what would replace it? Their answer is nothing just die.

[restorefreedom]

25. ok, so one less in contention

since this moron has just obliterated any chance of winning a general.

what does that leave now.....11, 20, 92? it is so hard to keep track, so many crazies!

[Angry Dragon]

30. Walker --- lost his mind again

[lobodons]

31. Don't suppose Walker has noticed Health Insurance stocks since ACA SCOTUS decision..??

Well, I'll just give him a hint: It's Capitalism at work.

[PearliePoo2]

32. Take a hike you little, rat-eyed weasel.

And take the "market-based" insurance company thieves with you.
Single payer..medicare for all.

[CBHagman]

33. People unclear on the concept strike again...

...and not just on the issue of the ACA. I'd emphasize Walker was speaking at the Faith & Freedom Coalition's event and invoking the market, as does the F&FC's website itself, which would run afoul of Jesus's admonition against trying to serve Mammon and God at the same time.

Moving on to other things, the F&FC's list of past events includes apparently proud mention of both Jim Bob Duggar and now disgraced Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell.

[SummerSnow]

34. Someone needs to tell him he won't be the Potus

[jaysunb]

35. I hope this gets wide coverage. n/t

[wolfie001]

36. Keep dreamin' asshat!!!!

[Aristus]

37. Caption: "No really, guys; he said 'I didn't know they could stack shit this high!' "

n/t

[valerief]

38. And our priority is to remove him and his ilk from the country. nt

[drynberg]

39. Psst: Scottie, ACA ain't a bit socialistic, when you say it is

It just makes you really look stupid...but of course you are...so...nevermind.

[sulphurdunn]

40. The "big bold reforms"

this opportunistic little asshole pushes are always against working people and the poor.

[Bradical79]

41. A market driven health care law?!

Why didn't someone think of thst before? The states or federal government could even set up a MARKETPLACE that would help people CHOOSE the right insurance plan to suit their needs! Brilliant!

[sofa king]

42. I made a caption for that picture.

"By the end of my first 100 days as President, we'll be this deep in shit."

But then I realized that Scott Walker speaks in Comic Sans Serif, and I fuckin' hate that font, so the hell with that.

[realFedUp]

43. Get Fiengold back

Soon
