Just shut up already! It is fully funded. Repubs are just using this as an election issue. If congress wanted this gone, it would be gone!

They sued and lost twice in SCOTUS because they didn’t defund it, scared to be blamed about something.

Now with 20 to 40% premium hikes coming in an election year I don’t see this law becoming more popular.

Half the people on Obamacare lost the health insurance because of the provisions of Obamacare. And the individual mandates will set up a chain reaction of Company based plans going away forcing people to pay for their own care.

If the GOP ever wants to get it right they better put it in writing. I don’t have any idea why its taking so long for one leadership backed plan to be put forward as an alternative, and the steps to back out over time getting our people off Obamacare.

something that he plans to move forward on in 2017 if a Republican is elected president.

What difference does it make who is President? If the law is bad pass a bill to end it and make the President either sign or veto it.

Just like socialist government in general does.

He regrets to mention (on purpose, no doubt) that Roberts’ writ has made it virtually impossible to repeal the subsidies. Even a Presidential executive order will not repeal it now. So he’s flapping his lips, knowing that it will never be repealed.

Most of you if not all of you couldn't praise Congressman Ryan enough when he was Mitt Romney's running mate and now you are smearing him

Shame on you

To: Kaslin; All
I have news for Mr. Ryan: so will this nation...we are over the edge.

We are Sodom and Gomorrah circa 1712 BC

We are Jerusalem in 587 BC

We are Rome in 475 AD

I believe a true spiritual awakening might stop an otherwise inevitable collapse; or, more likely, the collapse might lead to a spiritual awakening.

Of course, the Bible also teaches us that despite judgement--obvious judgement--some men will blame God and not themselves:

The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
Revelation 9:20-21

The body of Christ, the church invisible--made up of Christians from ALL bodies (Roman Catholic, Protestant, Orthodoz) must be about the business of showing love to their neighbors and speaking the truth. Doing the first without the second will lead to lawlessness; doing the second without the first will lead to legalism and hypocrisy!

Repent, pray, and reach out. That is the only option, truly, for the Church and for America.

There were some important events in between, like voting to fund Obamacare.

Ryan is dead to me.

I never once praised Ryan. I voted for them because I didn’t think they would set about deliberately destroying the U.S.

Yeah right!

Congress keeps dishing out money for it and the courts find ways to keep it alive.

Whatever Ryan is smoking, I want some!

At the time, he had principle. That seems to have eluded him now.

I don’t feel shame at all.

If the Republicans refuse to kill it it will, indeed, collapse under its own weight, right along with the whole crumbling edifice of the Republic.

nobamacare collapse in June of 2016 would be ideal. Gives the RATS time to scurry around and find a fix right in the middle of an election race. Would give the pubbies plenty of time to tout their fixes before the election in November.

The final argument of the R’s who pretty much like Obamacare. Don’t worry. It will collapse without us having to take a vote that would make us uncomfortable.

Not me. Especially when he was Mitt’s running mate. Didn’t stop me from doing the nose-hold in 2012 though.

Got aught else to get off thy chest?
