The whole 2014 thing is to weed out the Insurance Companies who will be forced to insure everyone regardless of prior illnesses or recent use of all benefits. They figure 2 to 3 years and most Companies will be insolvent.
Viola! Single Payer Plan run by Government will come to the rescue to tell mother’s with disabled babies and old folks (especially conservatives) to die and die quickly! (Rep. Grayson, FL)
Be careful of what your enemies accuse you of.
The Republicans will never win if they don’t start educating their ‘spokespeople’ on TV. The Democrats have talking points - most of them lies - the uneducated Republican just sits there. They should be able to strike back with the truth.
Example: the Democrats say ObamaCare strengthens Medicare. The truth is, this is a big LIE. The CBO says that would be double-counting:
“To describe the full amount of HI trust fund savings as both improving the government’s ability to pay future Medicare benefits and financing new spending outside of Medicare would essentially double-count a large share of those savings and thus overstate the improvement in the government’s fiscal position.”

Sorry, repeating this in the hope some GOP leader will see it!
