Apparently YOU can!
Sixteen Democratic senators who voted for the Affordable Care Act are asking that one of its fundraising mechanisms, a 2.3 percent tax on medical devices scheduled to take effect January 1, be delayed.
Opposing Obamacare IS made up and, hence, A LIE. Case closed.
Echoing arguments made by Republicans against Obamacare, the Democratic senators say the levy will cost jobs — in a statement Monday, Sen. Al Franken called it a “job-killing tax” — and also impair American competitiveness in the medical device field.
Several of the senators, many of whom have medical device manufacturers in their states, have opposed the tax for a long time.
On Monday, Franken again expressed his opposition to the tax he voted for. “I want to repeal the medical device tax altogether,” the senator and former comedian said in a statement. “But I am concerned that we are running out of time before this job-killing tax goes into effect. So, for now, the best thing to do to ensure that this important industry continues to create jobs and producing life-saving devices is to delay this unwise tax.” Franken and other want Reid to include a provision to delay the tax in the ongoing fiscal cliff negotiations.

An amendment to the Senate's healthcare reform bill would delay a tax on medical device manufacturers and exempt companies with less than $100 million in annual sales.
Two senators from states with hefty medical device clusters sponsored an amendment to healthcare reform legislation that would exempt companies with less than $100 million in annual sales from a proposed medical device tax, delaying its implementation until 2013.
The amendment is being sponsored by Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.), along with Senators John Kerry (D-Mass.), Amy Klobuchar (D.-Minn.), Al Franken (D.-Minn.), Herb Kohl (D.-Wis.), Debbie Stabenow (D.-Mich.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.).

Not so fast there, zippy. There are senators who voted yay for the tax who now oppose it and are asking for a delay of the start of the tax in the hopes of getting it yanked.

And you were saying something about GB being a liar? Please.
Maybe they should have READ it before they passed it.

Zippy?!?! That would seem to be a bit of projection from someone with apparent reading problems. The OP said the senators opposed Obamacare, when they just opposed one of its tax provisions. That's a lie in my book. Do you get it now?
Asswipe, some Democraps also oppose Obamacare forcing Catholic hospitals/orgranizations to accept birth control, abortion, etc.
There is a reason why Democraps even obamination avoided bringing up obamacare in the last election.....they oppose it themsevles behind closed doors.
They understand they have fucked things up but can't admit they are fuck ups so they are going to let it blow up to see how they can blame Bush, the GOP, doctors, insurance companies, etc.

None of that amounts to opposing Obamacare. If you ask anyone if they agree with every single provision, you're going to get 100% nos. That still makes your title premise a LIE. Call me all the names you want. It doesn't change the fact that you're a LIAR!
Uh idiot, some Democraps are trying to stop the medical care device tax and they are trying to stop the medical "death panel" board that determines the entire payment system of obamacare.
You will soon see this come out, but you are uneducated right now because you rely on the liberal media. They are covering this shit up big time.
Eventually this is going to hit the floor in Congress as the GOP puts out bills to stop obamacare and many Democraps are going to jump on the bandwagon....
