Obama: Health care law 'is here to stay'

joe bloe's Avatar
Obama is making speeches saying that the healthcare law that HE passed is here to stay and that repealing it is not an option. Well, Mr Obama, it is an option; once the Republicans take back the Senate and defeat you, Obamacare is going to be history. It aint over till the fat lady sings.

easy ... ask COF about predicting politics
I think individual states need to just tell the Feds they aren't going to implement it. Let's have a good old Constitutional standoff between Obama and the 37 states that oppose Obamacare.

the healthcare law provides $$$ to states that states wouldnt otherwise get ... bottom line, taxpayers in said states foot the bills for all the state and county hospitals that provide free services thus increasing state deficits when state budgets are already bloated ... that increases taxes on state residents ... the healthcare law via insurance reduces free medical services for as many as 33 million people ... why would any state want to increase their budget and further burden their taxpayers?

yes, lets have a good ole standoff between taxpayers that vote for governors, and governors that refuse federal $$ placing the state budget burden on taxpayers

just say no whirlie, but as a taxpayer in your state dont bitch about the $$ it costs you in the longrun

I thought healthcare was going to be free for everyone? What did I miss? You mean poor people will have to buy insurance? But they're poor. I thought we were helping them.

But trust me, Obama will win. I am certain of that. Take it to the bank, if they haven't failed by then.

easy easy easy ... as much as youve been shaking Obies tree lately political karma isnt exactly on your side

you may cut an Ace after you cut all the eights
COG's prediction record is terrible (sorry COG); so I am feeling pretty optimistic for a Tea Party win in November ! We will deliver the Presidency to the GOP and Romney.

anythings possible
Can't argue with the people that oppose the Healthcare Act. They only show their total disdain for their fellow human beings and are so selfish to the core they have no soul. Sad they can't see they are only a loss of a job, a detection of a major illness (like cancer) to losing what healthcare they do have...and eventually land themselves in bankruptcy. It's so sad to see how poor a moral charcter they do have. It's no wonder this country is in decline.
