Dems give White House tight deadline to fix Obamacare

[TemplarKormac]

It appears Democrats have finally had enough. They've given The Obama Administration until Friday of this week to repair Obamacare, or else they will consider breaking ranks and backing a GOP proposal to delay the mandate. Meanwhile Harry Reid insisted that the Republicans were still stuck in the past, "Stop carping about this. Get over it. It’s the law. It’s the legacy of Barack Obama and always will be. Let’s get over this and stop the mischievous, misfortunate speeches out here every day about how bad it is." He said. It appears this law is now entering its final hour of life.

Democratic senators facing voters next year are willing to give the White House time to resolve the glaring problems with Obamacare.

At the pleading of senior White House officials, Senate Democrats are holding off on demands to delay major aspects of the health care law until the Obama administration has the opportunity to fix the website problems that are thwarting enrollment in the program.

Democratic senators facing reelection have a green light to bash the White House and call for certain legislative fixes. But they’ve been urged by senior administration officials not to insist on delaying the controversial law’s core: The mandate for individuals to purchase insurance coverage or face penalties.

Their requests are being heeded — for now.

Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), who attended a tense two-hour meeting with President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday over the issue, stressed that senators should give the administration just “a little bit” of breathing room.

Yes, yes, it appears it is so!

And they say it's the GOP that's a shambles right now? I donna t'ink so! Keep this up, Dems. I cannot wait to see their heads explode when the GOP retakes the Senate and bolsters their majority in the House. then what will the HNIC do??

I don't see how it is possible to get veto proof majorities in both houses of congress. More than 1/3 of the house is made up of Democrats who have safe seats as long as they stay to the left of Obama. On the otherhand why in hell would the GOP give up this wetdream of a campaign issue without major concessions?

"Breathing room"?

 

[TemplarKormac]

"Breathing room"?

If you call being inside the coffin buried six feet under 'breathing room'.

 

[Zander]

I don't think Republicans are going to bail Obamacare out. The individual mandate must go on, along with the employer mandate.

In politics, when your opponent is hanging himself, don't take away the rope. **** those 12 **** senators that all voted FOR obamacare. We need to let these assholes know that their votes have consequences. No cover for Obamacare Democrats! No bail out for Obamacare.!

Let them reap what they've sown.....let them lose their jobs.

That is premature. The end of hospital subsidies that keep emergency rooms open and the use of concierge medical care with catastrophic care insurance has not really started to bite yet. When that kicks in you will likely be right but not yet.

If you say so.

Obamacare is not working as many folks are losing their health plans. I predict that obamacare will be repealed prior to the 2014 elections.

Eating their own.
Civil war in the party.
Fragmented.

All that was said about the republicans two days ago. Now it's true about democrats who are in a full scale mutiny.

Sounds reasonable. If the Democrats resist too much, the voter backlash will be even worse than it will be otherwise.

And to think, it took this to unite the party. How ironic! And pleasing.

And it is just the beginning of the end for the Obama administration...

Needs fixing...

I hope it is up and working soon for all that need it.

O-Care needs to be nuked, pure and simple. I'm glad the GOP is bringing forth alternatives. Let's face it. Leftwing socialist ideas fail 100% of the time they are implemented. Good intentions or no. Liberals have to face the reality that their pie-in-the-sky ideas won't bring about positive results.

It seems that way. It was inevitable that something like this was going to happen. Republicans warned them but they wouldn't listen. And now they've walked right into the fiery furnace of reality.

Harry Reid is a liar and a cheat and a generally nasty little man. I can hardly believe I once thought he'd serve well as leader of the senate.
