Medscape had a link to a slide show that went through all the wonderful things the bill did. Medscape. You might have to sign up for an account to view it. It may also be available at WebMD.

As shown it looks very appealing. Of course with all the things it provides for, we won't have any insurance companies left. No insurance company in the world could meet those requirements and stay in business without charging a gazillion for it.

I'd agree with the RINOs except that the taxes and fees kick in as fast or faster than the benefits listed above that "take place within the next 6 months." Taxes, fees, and whether or not you're going to have a job are going to matter a lot more in November than these sops.

If they don’t want to repeal it, they should step down and we will field candidates who do.

NO COMRPOMISE on this.

Time to return the rental spines and testicles they were using during the Obamacare debate back to the store.

Even though this is from Fox News, I really hope this is just a MSM attempt at demoralizing us. They demonize the Tea Partiers and then Demoralize the rest with stories of weakness from the Republican Party.

There was mention of only one actual GOP “leader” in an article which suggests many GOP leaders see a risk in repealing this monstrosity. I call BS.

Naaaah.
Sounds like the Associated Press is doing what it's always done, spread as much FUD and disinformation to push 0bama’s agenda as possible. It never worked in NJ never worked in VA, never worked in MA, won't work in November either.
Every single poll, including even the pro-0bama CBS pols says voters want the GOP to push for 0bamacare to be repealed. Its the biggest winning issue for November.

I translate this to read “top Republicans have been cut in on the scam”.

Yeah, I'm just afraid of what the RNC has been doing to the land fills lately. I send contributions directly to candidates, but all the gimmick party mailings go straight to the land fill.

There go the hand wringing cowardly Republicans again. Throw them out in primaries and put real conservatives in. Fifty five percent of the electorate want this thing repealed. Kirk is a liberal Republican; I’m not surprised he’s wringing his hands.

It is called divide and conquer tactic by the MSM which hot heads easily fall into. That’s why it is important to get all the facts before you make a judgment.

Top Republicans are increasingly worried that GOP candidates this fall might be burned by a fire that's roaring through the conservative base: demand for the repeal of President Barack Obama's new health care law.

That was a crap article. They used plurals in mentioning top Republicans then only quote Cornyn who said nothing about getting "burned" or worries of being "burned" attempting to repeal CommieCare.

Then they go on to regurgitate CommieCare talking points.

I am sick of all alphabet media they are all garbage.

That’s no surprise. Socialist Republicans don’t repeal Democrat laws. The only pretend to be against them.

The only other names given in the article:

" Nicklaus Simpson, spokesman for the Senate Republican Conference, a policy group"

"Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey, who chairs the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee"

"Republican strategist Kevin Madden"

" I've taken the pledge to repeal the law and replace it with true reform that will increase quality and lower costs," said Carly Fiorina, vying for the GOP nomination to challenge Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer in California."

And, of course, Barry Soetero. Not a very impressive list of GOP leaders IMHO

The GOP knows the MSM will kill them eventually...

The MSM don't have the power you think they do. Right now, conservative talk radio and conservative internet sites etc, are influencing more people than the MSM. That's why 0bamacare’s poll numbers continue to be in the tank

they also know moochers and looters will come to depend on Gov Hellcare”

Not gonna happen as long as we kill it before 2014.

Over the past 20 years the Republican Party has to share some of the blame for allowing this country to slide so far to the left by playing ‘Democrat lite’. Vote conservative regardless of party.

Who are these people? They need to be excused from leadership positions now.

Someone on another thread said that the GOP had NO INTENTION of repealing this dreadful legislation. Sadly, I guess they were correct. If the GOPer’s don’t fight to repeal, then we must repeal them!!!
