GOP likely to feel the heat if court decision guts Obamacare [Who gave us this ACA mess?]
Houston Chronicle ^ | May 26, 2015 | RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Supreme Court ruling due in a few weeks could wipe out health insurance for millions of people covered by President Barack Obama's health care law. But it's Republicans — not White House officials — who have been talking about damage control.

I agree. BS. The majority of people who signed up were getting free medical before. They just thought they were going to get more.

This wasn't a med program. It was a hunt for everyone's assets....aka data collection.

Correct. They can spin it any way they wish. It is a Clinton/Obama/Dem FIASCO.

The Dims never let a good crisis go to waste. The Republicans are afraid to stick to a strategy. What I’d recommend is a patch until 2017 so the Pres campaign can be in part about health care and the people can get a vote on the issue.

Translation: People who supported Obamafraud and hate the Republicans still won’t vote for the Republicans anyway.

Notice that the MSM is now coming out with various stories with the “GOP will get the blame for ACA ruling” meme all at the same time. This case was strickly about a statute not the constitutionality of the ACA in whole.

Chief Justice Roberts saved the ACA from being ruled unconstitional, (wrongly I believe), but in accordance with Supreme Court precedence to save the law from being unconstitional if at all possible. The statute does not get the same deference.

This ruling, if it goes as predicted, will be a major election year issue which the Dems can not run away from. The MSM is having a fit trying to make the GOP own the deceision but that will not happen. Even the liberal Ron Fournier agrees that the Dems will own this lock, stock and barrel.

The Democrats will propose their fix, a bill that corrects the one line of the act and which will allow the states to use the federal exchange. The Republicans will oppose that. And when they do then they will own it.

Another pack of lies marketed by the left. My fear is the jacking of our healthcare by the dc lawyer mafia will not be crippled.

It will be that Republicans want to take healthcare away from millions unless they fund this fraud.

That is how this will be positioned.

Weak Republicans will do anything to stop the name-calling and strong ones will be seen as cold and uncaring.

Not a problem. The GOP is useless to begin with. If they take the heat, they will be serving a useful function and Obamacare will be dead.

“The Democrats will propose their fix, a bill that corrects the one line of the act and which will allow the states to use the federal exchange. The Republicans will oppose that. And when they do then they will own it. “

Yep then the Democrats take credit for same sex marriage and the GOP gets the blame for people losing their insurance.
I actually expect the GOP to fix the language in the bill.
I don’t think they will be willing to take the heat this close to the 2016 election.

No republicans voted for the Unaffordable Care Act. BUT, Odumbo will hang it onto the Republicans through the media outlets, including FOX. All in the plan to make it so Republicans are unelectable. The democrats are there to save the little people. Right and Ancient Rome was built in a day and yes even pigs can fly.

The GOP began socialized medicine with Romney grubering
Massachusetts, and the GOP LIED outright to America
that it would stop ObamaCARE, but did nothing. NOTHING
except support the Moslem Tyrant every day, every way.

This story was placed sometime in the past two weeks by Obamabuddies in the DNC and is turning up in big city newspapers. It's pure BS.

...so you’re okay with people like Ted Cruz getting saddled with Obama Care blame, just so you can rant some more about Mitt? You have Mitt derangement syndrome. No, I didn’t support him, but I realize he’s not relevant now.
