		<description>&lt;i&gt; Name me ONE good thing that has come from ObamaCare that didn&#039;t have a disastrous side-effect. &lt;/i&gt; 

Kids can stay on their insurance until 26. 

You can&#039;t be denied insurance due to pre-existing conditions. 

Your insurance company can&#039;t drop you if you get sick. 

Insurance plans will now cover more preventative types of treatments such as mammograms and colonoscopies, flu shots, and counseling for quitting smoking. 

Come to think of it ... name one thing that has had a disastrous effect?

		<description>&lt;i&gt; Comments?? :D &lt;/i&gt; 

It would actually be easier to fix health care legislation than repeal it because you&#039;d likely have Democratic support. 

So why aren&#039;t Republicans talking about fixing it? 

Why don&#039;t they point out what the problems are and say &quot;Let&#039;s fix it!&quot;? 

Because ...

They really don&#039;t care about fixing health care

It&#039;s pretty simple really.

p.s. The Washington Times is ... how shall I say it ... a bit biased :)</description>

		<description>David,

&lt;B&gt;Obamacare probably can’t be fixed short of dumping it and starting over, but this would require an admission by the president and his men (and women) that they’re as incompetent and maladroit as events reveal them to be. The president’s acolytes in the media hail the delay as a genius stroke of politics, something to get the Democrats past the 2014 congressional elections before “the fiasco for the ages” is displayed in full.&lt;/B&gt;

Comments??  :D

		<description>Garbage In, Garbage Out

When DEMOCRATs start calling Obama&#039;s signature legislation a &quot;train wreck&quot; you KNOW it&#039;s a disaster...

Name me ONE good thing that has come from ObamaCare that didn&#039;t have a disastrous side-effect...

		<description>&lt;i&gt; If Obama had ANY sense, he would join Republicans in repealing ObamaCare and do HealthCare reform right... &lt;/i&gt; 

If Republicans want to do health care right, why not just fix it? 

Let&#039;s be honest. They have no interest in fixing health care. That&#039;s why they&#039;re pushing REPEAL and reform. 

Because they know that once they get it repealed, they can block any attempt to fix it. 

Show me your plan to fix it and I might go along. But REPEAL and reform? 

You&#039;re just lying to me about any attempts to reform.

		<description>So, let me see if I understand the &quot;new and improved&quot; ObamaCare...

The BUSINESS mandate is suspended for a year because the Administration doesn&#039;t have a handle on the all the rules let alone a way to handle all the paperwork and verification..

But the PERSONAL mandate is still in place.  The personal mandate will require individuals to purchase insurance if their employer doesn&#039;t provide it.

But how is the government going to know which employers provide insurance and which employers don&#039;t if there isn&#039;t any verify mechanism in place for businesses???

Do ya&#039;all see the complete and utter train wreck that is ObamaCare???

Some may say that at least Democrats got SOMETHING on the books with ObamaCare...

But it&#039;s becoming clearer and clearer that this &quot;something&quot; makes things a WHOLE lot worse than things were before ObamaCare..

If Obama had ANY sense, he would join Republicans in repealing ObamaCare and do HealthCare reform right...

		<description>Bout time we see some movement, eh!!   :D

If Obama&#039;s numbers had been unchanged, I would have said we might as well chuck the entire polling, because there would have obviously been something rotten in Denmark...  

CW, do you think the Snowden debacle is going to be with us for a while??
