Do I detect a de facto way to repeal Obamacare? Every congressional district in the country is given a waiver, and poof, no more Obamacare.

He could have gotten it if he’d asked for it up front. Might still get it.

“It's Good...really GOOD!...um....er..it's so good it'll knock your socks..erm...well...Pay no attention to all my friends that are begging me for waivers...that's uh...uh...a coincidence!...That's the ticket!...well...not a coincidence exactly.

Let me be clear. The important thing to remember is that Obamacare is good.....really really...um, GOOD!”

Republicans are insane to put off 404care. We were told it was the law of the land? So let it be written, so let it be done. Let it burn and with it the Rats will own every single increased premium, effed up application, lost job, etc.

Obama should just offer everyone and every organization, business and health care provider in the USA a waiver.

That would be a win-win for everyone.

ObamaCare would still be the law, keeping Obama and democrats from having to eat crow.

Democrats can still brag about passing ObamaCare but will no longer be creating more hate and anguish among voters.

Republicans would stop trying to do away with ObamaCare.

People would not be forced to purchase health insurance they don’t want or can’t afford.

Failures at the federal ObamaCare web site would stop being an embarrassment to democrats because almost no one will be using it.

Everyone gets what they want.

Polis also wrote to Colorado’s insurance commissioner asking why an average 40-year-old mountaintop resident would have to fork over $427.80 a month while counterparts in Denver would pay $296.41 for the same plan.

Hey, from each according to his ability to each according to his needs.

It's the Marxist guiding principle of today's democrat party, Polis. You can't tell me you don't know the true face of your party.

One of President Obama’s most ardent liberal supporters has defected from Obamacare.

Rep. Jared Polis, D-Boulder, told a Colorado health policy think tank that Obamacare premiums will be too expensive for some of the wealthiest addresses in America – ski resorts like Breckenridge and Keystone. …

“We will be encouraging a waiver,” Polis told Health Policy Solutions in a story that ran today. “It will be difficult for Summit County residents to become insured. For the vast majority, it’s too high a price to pay.” …

Polis also wrote to Colorado’s insurance commissioner asking why an average 40-year-old mountaintop resident would have to fork over $427.80 a month while counterparts in Denver would pay $296.41 for the same plan.

Cong. Polis, you voted for the sumbitch. Now, you and your constituents have to live with it.

On the other hand, if you'd care to sponsor a waiver for every county, we might take you seriously.
