Discussion for article #228702
as well as some that have increased the cost of health care.
So in other words, you lost and we won.
Go on, just say it for me.
Perhaps the Senator would care to explain how you âprevent discrimination against those with pre-existing conditionsâ without some kind of mandate that the healthy buy insurance? Her party still lacks any alternative and their ârepeal and replaceâ promise is utter baloney.
Ah, so once again some shithead is preaching that âbipartisan stuff is the best stuffâ.
If you want to shoot me twice, and I donât want me shot at all, shooting me âonlyâ once is not, in fact, an acceptable compromise.
SusanâŚplease go talk to Representative Boehner and find out that, no, youâre not over âthatâ.
Senator, there are more than 150 Republican amendments in the ACA, so, yes, it is bipartisan.
Setting aside that the ACA was a compromise bill to satisfy the Republicans who didnât want it, so it naturally includes things that Somebody doesnât want, does anyone have a list of actual flaws?
A landmark legislation coming from the Administration of a Democratic President has been passed into law, a feat never before achieved in the United States.
This legislation has been upheld by the most hostile Supreme Court in recent memory.
The legislation has withstood at least 50 attempts to repeal it.
The legislation has rolled out with success, in terms of projected enrollments.
The legislation has also resulted in positive benefits, both fiscally and with regard to access to healthcare
And, after all of this, a Republican Senator admits that âwe are past repealing itâ.
Two things to take from this:
(1) Only this Senatorâs popularity in her home state has allowed her to even state this obvious fact.
(2) This is a portrait of what Newt Gingrich and others started, when they eventually turned Congress into what it is today.
So, Senator Collins, why didnât you and other Senate Republicans vote for the bill which does, in fact, prohibit insurance companys from discriminating against people with pre-existing conditions?
Which provisions increase the cost of health care, Senator?
Theyâve finally made it to the summit of Bullshit Mountain. The Republican Party has milked as much donor money from this ârepeal Obamacareâ dummy mission as theyâre every going to be able to, so thereâs no need to continue the charade.
Meanwhile, Obamacare is working.
Well for starters itâs calle ObamacareâŚ
If there is a possible silver lining to the Rs taking the senate, it would be they are surely to overreach and cause a dramatic recoiling of the electorate for 2016.
And I bet Collins locks in with them if they do.
The American people won, not just partisan Democrats.
They lost and the American people won.
Sheâs desperate and after her reluctant debutante performance, i hope someone is able to prevent her from ever serving another term.
we all know how sheâll vote if they need her vote
Wow! Collins is smart enough to be a Democrat.
Shorter Susan: I"m not a real Republican. I just vote with them when needed.
âYou know at this point, I think weâre past that. I think it wouldâve been much better if thereâd been a bipartisan bill crafted in 2008âŚ
It was a bipartisan bill you revisionist bullshit spewer.
Itâs not the Dems fault the GOPâs involvement in crafting and amending the bill was being done in bad faith the whole time - with no intent on voting to pass the bill in any form. Nor does that render the GOPâs input on the ACA non-existent.
Sure, the Dems were naive fools to work with the GOP on the ACA - they shouldâve done it all themselves - but both parties crafted the thing⌠thatâs a bipartisan bill. So stop spinning you lying liar.
