Obamacare wins? See you in 2014 (Husseincare tax 'a marathon not a sprint')
Politico ^ | 10/18/13 | DAVID NATHER

Obamacare wins!

Now, let’s talk about that website.

**SNIP**

They also have to find enough success stories — people who have gotten their health coverage and are pleased by the experience — to counteract the comments Republicans are circulating from people who are complaining that the premiums are too high. There are people who are successfully signing up, on the federal website as well as state-run marketplaces like the one in Minnesota. But they haven’t been able to overshadow the stories of people who can’t even log in.

“Since at the end of the day, Obamacare is a marathon and not a sprint, the president and Democrats are well positioned,” said Democratic strategist Chris Lehane. But the only way to make the marathon shorter, Lehane said, is for the administration to be effective in telling the success stories.

Oh, it's a sprint all right. Wouldn't it be a nice gesture if I could sign up my neighbor?

Remember when some on the right said that if ObamaCare is not defunded it should be renamed “BoehnerCare”?

It was around this time that Boehner jumped on the Defund ObamaCare wagon.

So, should it be called BoehnerCare, McCainCare, McConnellCare, RINOCare, GOPeCare, GOPCare or something else?

I just got a glimpse of what I’m looking at on covered.com It’s not good. It’s about a 100% increase overall.

I hold a lot of people responsible for this mess, but I will never call it anything else but Obamacare. Failure goes to the top... with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid right behind him!

We’re in a marathon, all right. We’re in the home stretch of the 100 year marathon to total tyranny. Perhaps, after about 100 years, the Americans will realize the error of their ways and throw off the yoke of enslavement to government.

Lol ..

Obamacare was dead on arrival. The starter gun didn’t even scare the buzzards off its carcass.

“Republicans are circulating from people who are complaining that the premiums are too high.”

David can write good too.

Skip out on the whole thing, including the penalty. Under the law, you can sign up for a Christian health care co-op and squeak through a loophole. Plus you’ll probably be paying way less. And as I understand it, by this method you’ll never have to go in through the software, just submit paper proof of qualifying exempt status at tax time. Starve the beast while it is young, because when it gets older, it will be able to feed itself. Just sayin ...

Interesting. I’ll have to check into that. My daughter teaches at a Catholic elementary school and maybe she could shed some light on that.

Obamacare will be a horrible mess! That will not prevent the next folks from presenting it as a temporary problem to be fixed with the next election of a Democratic President.

This country can NOT advance or continue to exist when the media of today continue to bury the problems of their choice in politicians. I used to think that the “alternative” media would spread the word but the stupidity of the folks today prevent even that from happening. Get used to much worse than today - it is coming...

Obamacare does nothing at all to increase the number of doctors and nurses; it does nothing to lower the cost of health insurance; and the basic sign-up site does not work, so God knows what the rest of the IT will be like. In other words, this monstrously awful legislation was written by people who don’t know anything about health care, don’t know anything about health insurance, and don’t know anything about health care IT!

But, in keeping with the folks in charge, while they are blindingly ignorant, they don’t even know…that they don’t even know.

Perhaps, one might say, ObamaCare is a “Long March”.
