No one ever accused democrats of being well mannered, sensible or honest.

When the Pelosi-Reid-Obama troika triumphantly celebrated cramming through the ACA (Affordable Care Act) over majority sentiment, they crowed that this was the president's signature achievement and ACA soon took on the name of its creator, ObamaCare. Though not one of them, nor any of the Democrats in the Senate who voted it into law uni-partisanly had read it, they all assured us that we'd grow to really, really like it. Boy, were they wrong.
We've paid almost a billion dollars to a Canadian firm whose vice-president is a college buddy of Michelle Obama's from their black radical days at Princeton to create a webpage to enroll people mandated by this law to do so, Obama having turned down the U.S. firm IBM's offer to create it for free. It doesn't work. Moreover, the continuing problems with this webpage -- and law -- are so substantial and intractable that the White House propaganda machine has stopped referring to it as ObamaCare or even the Affordable Care Act. Everyone now knows that for most people, the plan loaded with mandated coverage to curry favors with privileged tranches of voters like college girls who want free contraceptives and abortion coverage and to permit anyone to sign up after they found out they need costly care, not before, is far more expensive than what they were previously paying for medical insurance. It's some kind of no-name thing. Either that or, to be an honest descriptor, we could call it the UFA (Unaffordable Care Act). Under any name it's dramatically swamping the president and his party's standing among voters.
Younger voters who passionately supported the president in both election shots are running away from UFA, a law which depends on them to foot a disproportionate share of the financial burden:

As long as Obamacare is law, he wins.
Borzois.
Win the battle, lose the war.
It's not his fault. He didn't know icebergs existed, or that his signature initiative was fatally flawed.
As the old saying goes: success has many fathers; failure is an orphan.
Unlike the Titanic's captain, he wasn't urged by management to go faster than was prudent; and unlike the Titanic's captain, he measures success by how many people are left on the boat to go down with him!
Republicans will be controlling the Senate
********
Hard to get too excited about that prospect. Pubbies will squander their advantage like they always do. :)
Actually he is a talking wooden man on the bow of the Titanic, put there by the same controllers who plotted the course heading straight for the iceberg. The goal is to destroy the ship, they will be quite happy to see the figurehead go down with it.
>> Another 10 months of this fiasco, and Republicans will be controlling the Senate.
If the republicrats were skilled, and articulate, and principled, and well-led, and courageous, and had the will to win — I would agree with you.
Unfortunately the party has NONE of those traits. None.
Looked at another way — if the (R) party was competent we wouldn’t have Bozo in there in the first place.
I hope that will be true. But I don't trust Republicans either. The Republicans that win are usually "reach across the aisle", moderate Democrat Party wannabes. They will be grovelling in front Harry Reid and Obama as soon as they take their seats. I expect we'll see nothing but the likes Boehners and McConnells in office.
THE elephant in the room is the future deaths of people, especially children, with serious illnesses who have lost their insurance and so, for no good reason, will begin dying.
No talking point or photo opp will bring them back.
Lady MacBeth will have nothing on the people who forced this law through against our will because the blood on their hands will be VISIBLE.
Wait untill we begin to see the funerals, with little caskets, of children who died because their chemo was no longer affordable.
I am so angered and horrified by this, and Americans will react the same way.
These babies...

It’s obama’s law but all the problems are the fault of Bush!
It’s as simple as that.
Make mine tea(party)!
Is there any way to force the full implementation of the law? W/O exemptions?
I think everyone would want it repealed then.
Good post. It doesn’t appear that the Democrats are aware that the ship is sinking fast nor do they fully understand the consequences of this legislation’s impact with reality.
Being a Democrat means never having to acknowledge the consequences of anything.
