bh0 will order Reid not to go ‘wobbly,’ but to stand fast and teach those ignorant masses who actually runs this country and is giving them what they wanted when they re-elected him.
RedState says the Upton bill is a trap:
EXCERPT:
IT’s A Trap!
Republicans are walking into a trap and they don’t even realize it.
They are about to consider, in the House of Representatives, legislation by Congressman Upton that would allow people to keep their insurance plans.
There’s a problem though. It is widely acknowledged that Congressman Upton’s legislation is more messaging than substance. His legislation does not have anything in it that can force insurance companies, in the topsy-turvy world of Obamacare, to keep insurance plans going.
But there is a plan than does. Senator Mary Landrieu has written legislation in the United States Senate that the Democrats love. It mandates insurance companies have to keep people on their present insurance. The GOP is supposedly against mandates and against government forcing private businesses and individuals into contracts they don’t want.
Here’s what is going to happen.
The House, with the help of a good number of Democrats, will pass the Upton plan and send it to the Senate. Harry Reid will substitute the Landrieu plan and send it back to the House. The House will be forced to either vote for the Landrieu plan or be characterized as siding with insurance companies against people.
In one fell swoop, the Democrats will have the GOP on record saving Mary Landrieu’s re-election in Louisiana by casting her as the one who saved Americans’ health care plans, and also getting on record as really being in favor of fixing Obamacare with the use of mandates.
In truth, Obamacare is not fixable. The only solution is to fully repeal it. The Republicans should not be helping Democrats with their re-election plans, which is all the are doing with Upton/Landrieu.
The GOP is walking right into the trap.

Unnnnngh.
I expect republicans to once again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
how many will die because of this?
Health insurance companies are also culprits in this Obamacare scam. Many want to eliminate the individual policy market in exchange for a larger mandatory market. More policies with higher premiums would be sold under Obamacare then current system. In other words many large health insurance companies love Obamacare because it is a law that requires all citizens to buy their products. Just look at their stock prices after Obamacare passed.
I say go ahead and vote for the Senate version. Burn the insurance companies for scheming. At the same time in the long run the Democrat Obamacare will be deprived of healthy and young policy holders thus imploding the policy several years down the road.
The real culprits, Dems and Health Insurance companies will be burned for the scheme they hatched.
Ah, it's the evil insurance companies that's responsible. Have to "force" them to undo what Obamacare forced them to do.
The Republicans are always behind the curve.
RATS play chess and the Pubbies cower in the corner.
Harry was a boxer and will try to beat them into submission
This is what you really meant to say
the liberals voted for it. Let them own it
RATS will NEVER let it collapse. They will get the Republicans on the record for a BIPARTISAN FIX—the they will drag one concession after another from the Republicans until they get the SINGLKE PAYER SYSTEM THEY REALLY WANT.
Socialized medicine is the endgame. After all the chicanery, lying, and perversion of procedural rules to get Obamacare to this point, will Reid and Pelosi give up? NO.
Everyone dies, regardless of whether or not they have health insurance.
I think the question you want to ask is “how many will die earlier than they would have, had the health insurance system just been left alone?”
Oh, absolutely. Call Morty and make book on it.
BHO back down on his one and only signature achievement? No way. Pigs will fly over DC in combat formation before that happens.
Of course that is what I meant. silly to even clarify
After all the Obama administration has used him as tool several times before...
Mostly giving them the ability to report it was a bipartisan effort...
Wow. What this is all about is Obamacare. They are obsessed. I don’t know what other word I can use. They’re obsessed with this Obamacare. It’s working now and it will continue to work and people will love it more than they do now by far. So they have no right to pick and choose..
