Its official.....Republicans giving up on trying to repeal Obamacare

It's official: Republicans are done trying to kill ObamaCare - The Week

After vowing to kill President Obama's eponymous health-care law for going on four years now, Republicans appear to finally be moving on.

To be sure, the party hasn't dropped its opposition to ObamaCare. But a shift in the way it has framed that opposition indicates that the days of "repeal or bust" are a thing of the past.

Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Thursday that coming up with an ObamaCare alternative would be "one of the big issues" at the GOP's annual policy conference this month, adding that such a proposal could come up for a vote this year.

"It's important for us as a party, especially in an election year, to tell the people what you're for," he said. "We're for getting rid of ObamaCare and replacing it with a patient-centered health-care system."

The GOP-led House has voted 47 times to repeal ObamaCare. And just last October, the party shut down the federal government in a last-ditch gambit to nix the law, without offering any sound alternative. True, Republicans have thrown out a few legislative options of their own, but those ideas are generally considered unworkable, and none have gained consensus support

The lobbying groups who have open access to Republican leaders are abandoning repeal. The wonks the GOP leaders listen to are abandoning repeal. The outside groups the GOP leaders work with have begun attacking conservative candidates. The outside groups who help conservatives are being shut out by the party.
They are laying the groundwork to bail on fighting ObamaCare. [Red State]
So what changed?

Simply put, ObamaCare went into effect, and it hasn't entered the dreaded death spiral or set the Constitution on fire. In fact, it's starting to gain strength and popularity.

Republicans conceded last year that it would be much harder to stop ObamaCare once the health-care exchanges opened in October, and even harder still once people started receiving their new health care in January. That's why they considered the defund gambit so important. As Cruz put it, October was their last hope of preventing ObamaCare from becoming a "permanent feature of the American economy."

 

[Mr. H.]

It will implode on its own. Tens of millions yet to be enrolled.

There will be a shitstorm.

It's official then, nobody left to save us.

My only solace is that i won't be around to endure the pain and shame too much longer.

Its what I have been saying all along

If Republicans want to take away peoples insurance, they damned well better have a better alternative

Rhetoric won't cut it

 

[g5000]

Finally, finally, finally. Instead of always attacking, the GOP is going to put its own solution on the table.

FINALLY!

I hope Boehner is serious about this and will follow through. If the GOP has finally come to its senses and grown a set of balls, this would be a fantastic breakthrough.

No need to take it away. Let it crash and burn while taking democrats down with it.

Solution to what?

 

[TheOldSchool]

I'm absolutely in favor of the GOP finally being willing to participate. I hope they come up with some great ideas and changes for the benefit of the country

 

[Papageorgio]

This is great the the GOP move on, the mess that is Obamacare is having a negative impact on small business and the middle class. Let the Democrats that made up the mess, that passed the mess, that has been promoting the mess, be responsible in the next election.

As this law continues to stagnate the economy, as this law continues to decrease the disposable income for the middle class, as the government finds ways to tax and fund the mess, let the voters remember the Obamacare legacy and how it is hurting America.

What the OP should have said.....

Republicans have finally realized their is no need to repeal Obamacare...it will collapse all on it's own.

Solution to what?

45 thousand Americans dying yearly due to the old "health care" system?

Or was that want Conservatives wanted?

Along with the bankruptcies?

Maybe they will go with "Single Payer"!

Of course here is the catch...

Healthcare is a poison pill with TeaTards and Rightwing hate radio. Any Republican who proposes even the most basic healthcare plan will be viciously attacked

Looks like Obamacare is here to stay

What a bunch of blithering jibberish.

People die from old age and illnesses. Those two items are NOT caused by our healthcare system. They are the result of life long choices and mother nature.

Dope

How many babies are aborted every day?

This is what Liberals support

give it up about how much you all care about people dying

 

[RandomVariable]

But Obamacare is the one-liner for every Republican campaign in the country. Is there some sort of strategy behind this? Yes, it's a one word one-liner. They're Republicans, what can I say.
