RACINE, Wisconsin — Some Republicans have indicated they will use any means necessary to sabotage Obamacare’s implementation, even if that means ignoring constituents who come to their office with questions about how the new law can help them. But Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) won’t be one of them.
For years, Republicans have tried every possible method they could think of to undermine Obamacare. Now, after failing to stop the law from passing, failing in an attempt to get the Supreme Court to strike it down, and failing in nearly 40 tries to repeal the law, some conservative House Republicans are simply going to try to sabotage the law. The leaders of this new effort are Reps. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) and Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), who have said they will try to undermine Obamacare by purposefully not helping constituents who come to them with questions about navigating Obamacare

2. Do not be surprised if the remnants of the tea party take credit for

Obamacare in a few years.

5. Gopers/tea nuts

are sure taking credit for MEDICARE now! 2010 remember seeing misspelled signs telling Pres O and the US government to keep government off their Medicare - LOL

If successful, which it will be, of course the gop party will take credit for it and will totally have complete amnesia about what they tried doing to it - defeat, defund and repeal it.

7. And in New York . . .

Republicans are still fighting the law tooth-and-nail, and in New York, where State authorities have embraced Obamacare and helped residents sign up for insurance, premiums have already fallen by an average of fifty percent. I wonder how many people in Red States would like to pay half as much for health insurance too?

8. What a beautiful thing that would be...

... to see blue states with lower health care costs and red states (who are all on federal welfare) skyrocket. That would doom the GOP, on the local level, in an election cycle.

9. There are a lot of citizens with pre existing conditions

Who haven't been able to get health care. I know of a right winger, who has a knee injury with pain, but can not get treated because it is a pre existing condition. When he gets health care, he will be able to get the knee surgery. But he still hates Obama care. But I know he will sign up quick and get that surgery, pain is a great motivator in this case.
I am sure there are thousands of people like him.

11. More like millions of them.

And that is only one aspect of the law everyone will really like. That is everyone except for the super wealthy, who want so desperately to shrink the the Federal Government, out of fear they may actually have to start paying something like their fair share of taxes to support it.

10. It's terribly sad when people swallow absurd political bullshit ....

...and vote against their own best interests. Seems like this behavior is unique to Americans.

In 1932 Germans did vote for the NSDAP in greater numbers than for any other Party.
