...along with Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.), who is also up next year. Other vulnerable Democrats could follow suit.

The need to repeal Obaamcare in its entirety should be obvious to everyone in Congress.

What are they waiting for?

“……….Obama has conceded the healthcare law is in need of repair.”

It is not in need of repair, it needs to be thrown out!!!

Only dumbasses think they can control 1/6 of the economy. The ‘Rats and RINOs will never give in. The purge is on.

But this is what Republicans do.

Instead of killing socialist legislation, they want to "make it work better."

It's their turn to feed at the trough next year.

If Obama is worried about it he must be worried on the golf Course, cause that’s where he spent the day.

I should be so worried.

Yep. They're one big, bloated happy political party. They're all Republicrats. They all need to be replaced.

I find it hard to believe that even Democrats could be as incompetent as this roll-out of Obama Care proves them to be. House and Senate Republicans read their plan and repeatedly told the Obama Administration for the last three years it wouldn’t work, and I find it hard to believe none of them bothered to read it and understand it for themselves, so what’s their game?

They’re genuinely surprised, but at what are they surprised? They couldn’t possibly be surprised that the obviously unworkable mechanics of Obama Care and a shoddily thrown together website aren’t working, so what’s going on here?

Could it be that Obama Care was never intended to get this far and was a “Red Herring” all along? As Obama Care was such an obviously unworkable plan, the Democrats knew the Republicans would find a way to prevent it from ever coming to fruition, and the Democrats would be left with the “issue.” Obama could then demonize the Republicans for preventing “affordable” medical care for every American citizen and use it to rally his base at election time.

However, as it turned out, they either overestimated the Republican Party, or the Republicans saw this disaster coming and just stepped aside and let the Democrat Party shoot themselves in the foot.

I have not heard an explanation of how this would work. How are they going to make insurance companies keep providing plans that existed before Obamacare? How are they going to resurrect plans that have already been canceled? What are they going to do to allow companies to keep their plans as they were, without all the costs involved with complying with Obamacare? I don’t see how such legislation is even workable, within the context of Obamacare existing. The only solution is to get rid of it completely.

This debacle could not happen to a nicer political party that since antebellum times was bent on degrading humanity in one manner or another.

God says “Hey Donks. I’m getting the last laugh now!” Ps. 2:4

Not that the GOP is so swell, but it at least managed to get evil more slowly. It will be easier to make something semi decent of it.

The ship is sinking, the train is running off the tracks, the car is running on four flat tires, and yet they persist. How does one define ideological blindness?

How do we define it, ‘gi?

As prime raw material for a laughing stock!

Because they’re going to change the law that changed that law, before they ever changed the original law. Got it?

Either Congress scraps it or they get scrapped. Just a matter of time.
