Obama To Donors: We May Have To Re-Do Healthcare Reform

[chikenwing]

If the Supreme Court rules against President Barack Obama's signature health care reform law in a decision expected at the end of the month, it could mean back to the drawing board for the White House.

Bloomberg News reports that the president told donors that his administration may have no choice, but to revisit the issue in his second term. Obama reportedly made the suggestion at a closed-door New York City fundraiser earlier this month.

Last month, in addressing the Supreme Court hearing on the Affordable Care Act, Obama signaled optimism that the case would produce a ruling in his favor.

"This is not an abstract argument," he said. "People's lives are affected by the lack of availability of health care, the in-affordability of health care, their inability to get health care because of pre-existing conditions."

The president added, "Ultimately I am confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress."

Well before they make any attempt to do anything, someone in the administration needs to educate Obama on the difference between HEALTH CARE and HEALTH INSURANCE. They are not synonymous.

They most certainly are!! when your campaigning and need stir up enthusiasm.

Why would you concede the possibility of defeat when making a sales pitch to donors? Does that make sense in your world?

A less arrogant approach would have been to simply not mention the election... just say 'we may have to revisit healthcare'.

Really? So he can't mention the election now? Are you serious? GTFO.

*edit, election

I did not say he 'can't', dip shit. I said not mentioning the election as he did (arrogantly assuming a 2nd term was a given) would have been less arrogant.

Do try to pay attention.
