© Tom Tomorrow I have a dream. A dream that one day (hopefully soon) this nation will wake up and realize that Obamacare is actually a pretty good deal. No, it is not single payer, but it is far better than what we had before. In the second part of the dream, the same Republicans […]
Jimmy Kimmel asks people on the street whether they prefer Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act. With hilarious results. This is what we are up against when the Republicans claim that people don’t like Obamacare. Most people have no clue about it. [Hat tip to Huff Post]
I am always willing to give credit where credit is due, so I will gladly point out that Fox News has one of the best, clearest, fact-filled articles on Obamacare that I have seen from any large media organization. Titled “Five reasons Americans already love ObamaCare — plus one reason why they’re gonna love it […]
© Matt Wuerker Ironically, the rollout of Health Care Reform (AKA Obamacare) is one of the things that will not be affected much by a government shutdown.
In a new Quinnipiac poll released today, American voters overwhelmingly reject the Republican strategy of holding the government hostage in order to block implementation of Obamacare. They oppose 72 to 22 percent Congress shutting down the federal government. Even self identified Republicans are divided on the issue, supporting the shutdown by 47 percent with 44 […]
The conservative propaganda machine is going full tilt trying to turn the American people against health care reform before it goes into effect on Tuesday and people have a chance to actually benefit from it. How desperate are they? Pretty freaking desperate I’d say. This week, conservatives keep repeating the lie that Warren Buffett just […]
Just a few months ago, in July, the Republican Deputy Whip in the House said the following: It seems to me there’s appropriate ways to deal with the law, but shutting down the government to get your way over an unrelated piece of legislation is the political equivalent of throwing a temper tantrum, it is […]
Further evidence that the fight over health care reform is more of a referendum on Obama, and not really about health care. CNBC did another poll asking people for their opinion of health care reform, but they did something interesting. “In CNBC’s third-quarter All-America Economic Survey, we asked half of the 812 poll respondents if […]
© John Deering The GOP actually has a website where they explain why they are opposed to Obamacare. Interestingly, it was published in March 2011 (over two years ago) so we can check on some of their claims. For example, did you know that the individual mandate is unconstitutional? Unfortunately for the GOP, the Supreme […]
How fractured has the Republican Party become? Yesterday, Republicans announced that they are giving in to their anarchist fringe, and will shut down the government if Democrats don’t agree to defund Obamacare. Today, the Turd Blossom of George W Bush’s presidency, Karl Rove, has published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal that calls this […]
House Republicans say “This is the line in the sand.” House Speaker John Boehner has given in to the radical fringe of his party who say they will shut down the government unless Democrats agree to repeal healthcare reform. So here is the choice they are demanding: If Obamacare is repealed, people will die. If […]
© Tony Auth You heard it here first, folks. The Republicans will never kill Obamacare. In fact, if they were even the least bit serious about getting rid of it, they would have proposed and promoted some kind of alternative. But they have not, because they realize that there is no point. The only point […]
Republicans claim to be the party of personal responsibility. They don’t need Obamacare, they can take care of themselves, right? Which is why it is ironic that a poll found that significantly more Republicans are taking advantage of the provision of Obamacare that requires insurance plans to insure children up to the age of 26. […]
Washington Post published an editorial “Republicans should get out of the way of Obamacare“. Their argument is summed up by the last paragraph: Congress enacted the Affordable Care Act. The Supreme Court found most of its provisions to be constitutional. Republicans, having opposed the bill and supported the legal challenge to it, are entitled to […]
