Top Republican Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Washington, is walking back comments attributed to her that Obamacare can't be repealed. But she's not the only one suggesting that the goal should be making changes within the framework of the health law. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, says the goal is to get the law "fixed." Apparently, a lot of Republican lawmakers still haven't read the law. If they had, they'd know the framework is corrupt.
Even presidential hopeful Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, speculated on Friday that repeal is unlikely, because it will be "difficult to turn the clock back."
Nonsense. Even by the most inflated Obama administration claims, some 8 million people have signed up for exchange plans out of a nation of 318 million. Obamacare is able to be repealed and should be replaced with a plan to cover the uninsured and reduce costs.
Obamacare's authors paid lip service to these goals but had an ulterior motive: forging a permanent Democratic majority. The law creates a huge infrastructure for enrolling millions of people not just in health care but also food stamps, housing assistance and other welfare programs — and registering them to vote.
Here are the pillars of this corrupt scheme. None of the minor fixes Republicans are discussing come even close to sweeping away this corruption.
—Navigators and assisters (Section 1311): Instead of government employees promoting Obamacare and enrolling the uninsured, the law reserves these jobs for community activists, unions, community health centers and other not-for-profits. Players include the NAACP, Planned Parenthood and the Service Employees International Union. Hiring these groups is a way to fund the shadow army of the Democratic Party in between elections.

Well we kind of knew didn’t we?
End it, don’t mend it.
“Republican Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Washington, is walking back comments attributed to her that Obamacare can’t be repealed.”
So in 1519 when Spanish Conquistador Hernando Cortez landed in Mexico on the shores of the Yucatan he made a complete and total commitment.
Cortez got the “buy in” from the rest of his men and took away the option of failure.
It was either conquer and be hero’s and enjoy the spoils of victory…or DIE!
When Cortez and his men arrived on the shores of the Yucatan he rallied the men for one final pep talk before leading his men into battle, and uttered these three words that changed the course of history — “Burn the Ships!”
Who on the right is willing to burn the ships and risk winning big and going down as hero’s?
We know there are lots and lots of politicians that will play safe - No risk, no reward, small ball.
But who will buy into the Cortez model?
It seems these Republicans are just more RAT commies.
The Shot Heard Around The World’ is coming again and I doubt it will be pretty when it does.
Certain portions of it will likely never be repealed.
The “Junior can stay on dad’s plan till age 26” provision won’t ever be repealed.
The “they have to take you and your pre-existing condition” clause seems pretty repeal-proof.
In states that were stupid enough to expand Medicaid there are tens of millions of new recipients who will be hard to discharge.
Other than that though, plenty of room to work.
Yep, and anything short of repeal will be a disaster, IMO.
I doubt much of anything will be repealed until a particular item has cost millions to billions and it’s done as a last resort. 0care will be a money pit and become nothing but socialized medicine.
Ultimately you are correct. It is headed for financial collapse, due to all of the phony bookkeeping and faked-out numbers used to keep its CBO score down while it was being passed.
The end game will be another deduction out of your paycheck.
It is beyond silly to think the Republican Party will even consider the reforms necessary to save our republic.
Article V is our only hope.
Certainly shouldn't call it here to stay now.
Well said and that’s where the Republican Party is at.
BTTT!
That is why I am really hoping that Vermont will go ahead and pull the trigger on state-level single payer.
They will be broke in two years, and deter any skulls o’ mush out there from considering that option.
Rand Paul On Shutdown: "Even Though It Appeared I Was Participating In It, It Was A Dumb Idea"I said throughout the whole battle that shutting down the government was a dumb idea. Even though it did appear as if I was participating in it, I said it was a dumb idea. And the reason I voted for it, though, is that it's a conundrum. Here's the conundrum. We have a $17 trillion debt and people at home tell me you can't give the president a blank check. We just can't keep raising the debt ceiling without conditions. So unconditionally raising the debt ceiling, nobody at home wants me to vote for that and I can't vote for that. But the conundrum is if I don't we do approach these deadlines. So there is an impasse. In 2011, though, we had this impasse and the president did negotiate. We got the sequester. If we were to extend the sequester from discretionary spending to all the entitlements we would actually fix our problem within a few years.[Posted on 11/19/2013 12:16:51 PM by Third Person]
The goal of Obama et al. is to ensure that by the time the system collapses, which it will, there won't be an old system to go back to and the only alternative will be single-payer. Giving Obama et al. another two years to destroy the existing health-care system doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
