“What I tell people at home is I think we can get 85 percent of this, for sure, repealed in reconciliation.”

This line shows he’s either a functional retard or simply a liar. Given his debate performance against Biden, I’m going with the former.

He should stick to gay ass photoshoots with dumbells, instead of trying to be the leader of a bunch of dumbells.

The President will not veto it. It will never get to his desk because there isn’t 60 votes in the Senate.

These fools need to stop wasting time and money and learn to legislate, instead of pointless grandstanding.

Well, reconciliation only needs 51 votes. That’s how they are going to try to sell it.

However, reconciliation is banned for bills that have a fiscal impact, and repealing any part of the ACA will have a fiscal impact — so Obama may get to use his pen again.

if a republican would run on streamlining Obamacare, there is a good chance he would get my vote, if that same republican were to run on repealing Obamacare, i’m gonna laugh at him and whoever votes for him. here is the translation, i’m going to washington and repeal Obamacare means i’m going to washington and piss into the wind while i throw a tantrum.

Good Lord. Can we give up the Repeal Obamacare talk? It’s not going to get repealed. This is why people don’t like Republicans. They talk and talk and talk and NEVER DO ANYTHING. I’d rather them just give up on Obamacare and try to cut somewhere else than keep repeating the same line for year after year.

At this rate, expect our grandkids to hear from the 5 republicans left in congress on how they’re going to repeal obamacare.

I’m pretty sure Obamacare is repealing itself if everything goes according to Jon Gruber’s plan. Hello single payer.

if the republicans went after big pharma, hospitals charging $500 for an aspirin, and the ama holding a monopoly on qualified doctors, like they went after Obamacare, this country would have affordable healthcare.

Again, Rs tend to look out for the Docs/hospitals and Ds for the trial lawyers. Nobody budges and the status quo is kept. I’m crazy enough to want all the cheats, poor and rich, out of the government trough.

Trial lawyers?? Are you not sick and tired of saying that same old crap. Even Republican politicians don’t blame malpractice anymore. Most of the states enacted tort reform a decade ago; and as was predicted by most people who knew what they were talking about, it made no difference in the cost of health care. Why? Because despite what the insurance industry would have you believe Malpractice settlements and verdicts are an insignificant part of the cost of health care. Somewhere around 3%. So please stop the BS. The truth is that as usual Republican tort reform only hurts middle class people. It help wealthy insurance companies make more money.

The only idea the republicans have is to return the country to 2008. When the country was on the brink of ruin thanks to the last republican president. Whoever they nominate will be destroyed when it comes time to debate.

This plodding monster will not be disassembled by a group of mere humans in the Congress of the the United States.
This thing will died a natural death, one likened to an overly obese fat person that can’t stop eating and expires of its own natural accord.
Just wait till the rate increases start accumulating, service diminishes, wait times lengthen, etc..
Then…guess what…single payer… it’s inevitable.

Bring it on. Then we can join other first world countries and maybe crack the top ten for healthcare again.

First they have to make everything so terrible that bad looks good. Destruction of the private medical industry is a must.
