Senate Democrats: Um, Let's "Postpone" Obamacare's Medical Device Tax

I think the House Republicans should support repeal of the Obamacare medical device tax. They should pass a bill repealing it.....Oh, and by the way, they might also include the rest of Obamacare, as well.

[drbuzzard]

The article mentions that the House already passed such a repeal. It’s been in the Senate’s court for a while now.

They do this kind of thing all of the time to keep their illegal laws in place.

[Eye of Unk]

The world will have a near extinction even soon, around 12/22 so Obamacare will be moot.

Thats why I am refusing to pay my bills this month, why bother?

[SMARTY]

ALL of this ‘Obamacare’ monstrosity is toxic and ruinous.

This was foisted on America without an unbiased or even cursory review by people who have a responsibility to voters.

There is nothing equivalent to this in American history.

There IS of course, a great deal ‘like this’ in the history of countries ruled by dictators… THAT is where you will find a precedent for this kind of ‘legislation’.

How the duly elected and supposedly accountable politicians that voters sent to Washington could sit still for this kind of thing is a contemptible sham, unworthy of ANY American… and yes, it STILL rankles.

This outrage does positively NOTHING but guarantee debilitating social discord and economic ruin for decades into the future.

Bull**** You passed it, now live with it. The GOP shouldn't get into the make Obamacare work mode. It is time to burn the house down. The left wanted all of this, the left wants more and more government, more and more regulation, more and more power and control, now strangle on it.

[sickoflibs]

House Republicans would be stupid if they go along with any fixes to O care, especially this.

[ILS21R]

We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it away from the fog of the controversy.

[SERKIT]

This was all supposed to have been openly discussed on C-SPAN, right? Did I miss something?

They already have. Unfortunately, it will never see the light of day in the Senate.

"I think the House Republicans should support repeal of the Obamacare medical device tax"

Oh the GOP are doing it all the time. I read about it and see it on TV all the time. /sarc

[I am Richard Brandon]

Every time something bad is discovered about this evil Administration there is something else (aka ‘this bright shiny thing’) to divert out attention. It happens with amazing regularity and the GOP are totally at fault for falling for the same trap every time. Where are Cheney and Newt when you need them to shine the spotlight on what really matters.

[Common Sense 101]

Repeal is the ultimate goal of the letter's 18 signers, including Klobuchar, Franken and all the heavy hitters in the Senate Democratic leadership.

Only in the perverted and ignorant minds of those that infest the libtard Demonic Party could Al Franken be considered a "heavy hitter".

[originalbuckeye]

As I posted yesterday on a similar thread, are these the Dem Senators that are up for re-election in 2014? Trying to CYAs, Senators?

[rbg81]

The repeal should be all of Obamacare—or nothing.

[jdsteel]

My brother-in-law already lost his, along with half of his fellow medical device salesmen.

[Kaslin]

According to Wikepedia 33 seats are up for relection

Seven Democrats are seeking re-election.

The list is here

If we want to take the Senate back we have to stick together. It does us no good if we fight among us or stay at home

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

House Republicans already did vote to repeal it. Freepers had better wake up that Republicans in congress are our friends and for those who claim there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats, it is a great big lie.

IIRC, there was ONE Republican who voted for Obamacare but it's more fun for Freepers to pile on and hate all Republicans. FR has become the perfect example of a mob mentality.
