(Reuters) - U.S. healthcare executives say Obamacare is likely here to stay, despite repeated calls from Republican lawmakers for repeal of the 2010 law aimed at providing health coverage for millions of uninsured Americans.

Top executives who gathered in San Francisco this week for the annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare conference, say that while President Obama's signature domestic policy achievement may well be tweaked, it is too entrenched to be removed.

Apparently Obama singled out JP Morgan for a "shout out" in a recent speech.

Nice, cozy relationship, one would gather.

Ohama will just raise his arms and declare that since the program is not working, the only alternative will be the SINGLE PAYOR. By that time, he won’t need an executive action, executive memo; he’ll just “whisper” to one of the GOP leaders!!!

If enough of you circulate this article, then what you said below might come true!

"If enough citizens put enough pressure on, Obamacare will be toast."

That article makes it clear that Lee is speculating.

Funny enough, what Michael Weiner is saying there is plausible. And it begs the question as to why we have a sick man (epileptic; had at least two grand mal episodes over the past twenty years, and who knows how many unreported milder seizures) as Chief Justice?

that’s exactly right. Maybe you CAN repeal it, but politically you have to replace it with something that on a net basis results in no fewer people having insurance. And what would such a beast look like? About the same as Obamacare.

That's all you need to know. Democrats: the party of monster banks and major healthcare corporations.

Heh.

The oligarchs always think they’re going to have a permanent governance.

Proverbs 16:18 applies.

How can it be "too entrenched" if it hasn't even been fully implemented yet? LMAO.

What these executives aren't telling us is that the ultimate goal is the complete transformation of the health care industry in the U.S. And I don't mean "single payer," either. The ultimate goal is the eradication of the line between insurance companies and medical facilities. Basically, the end game is for the companies that run the large hospital networks in the U.S. to become insurance companies, too. These "insurance companies" will be in a better position set the rates that they'll pay medical professionals because the medical professionals will all work for them.

These are the hospital executives of so called “centers of excellence” with the 15% preventable adverse events and expensive information systems that they can never get to work right.

They say it’s too entrenched to go away.

They damned sure had no trouble getting rid of our old system that was “entrenched” for years.

The corporatists have spoken.

In a way they are probably right. The damage is done. It has its own inertia now.

The one hope is to destroy the individual mandate.
