Republican lawmakers say they anticipate a flood of questions in the coming months from constituents on the implementation of ObamaCare, which will pose a dilemma for the GOP. [WATCH VIDEO]
People regularly call their representatives for help with Medicare, Social Security and other government programs.

if you’re going to fight, it’s best they don’t see it coming
why telegraph your moves?
Congress is exempt from Obamacare?

Bro, you need to say that everywhere. Then we take that tax penalty to the SC as unconstitutional.
