I don’t suppose Senator Landrieu can get to 50% during the primary and push Cassidy’s face into the Delta mud? It would be sweet to see.

They will never give up, even when their own families are enjoying the fruits of ObamaCare.

People are just beginning to realize how many health services are now covered under Obamacare, so I guess Cassidy wouldn’t want his constituents to take advantage of those.

Good work, Cassidy. I mean it’s only fair to allow people to choose an insurance policy that doesn’t cover diddly when they really need it. It’s every American’s right to get ripped off by the insurance company of his or her choice.

I’m likely not a good barometer of these matters, but I feel more and more angry when people try to mess with ACA in any way. I think this is a dog of an issue that will bite these people on the ass.

This won’t happen, but it it did, it would be a pretty clear path to repeal for most people. Because once the noncompliant (and therefore by definition more profitable) plans are being sold in quantity, of course you’d have lobbying to extend the deadline from 2019 to forever. And more lobbying so that everyone could be offered the noncompliant plans. At which insurance companies would change their mix of offerings and noncompliant plans would be pretty much the only ones available. So the ACA would still mandate certain provisions, but you wouldn’t be able to get a plan that actually had them…

Well played, if stupid and evil.

Affordable, effective health insurance is tyranny. WTF about that don’t you people understand???

I don’t know why Landrieu doesn’t play up that Cassidy was born in Illinois and is not a real Cajun like she is. Landrieu should play up that she is the real deal and that Cassidy is a carpetbagger. She should be out there every day with her relatives showing how much she is more of a Louisianan than Cassidy. Cassidy does not have the welfare of poor people in Louisiana or the welfare of small businesses.

And, when people went to use the plans, and the plans offered little coverage, you’d hear: “Well, Obamacare is really terrible. I my plan was worthless.”

You know, if the Congress spent half the time working to create jobs than they waste trying to repeal Obamacare or fuck it up, everybody would have a job today!

The GOP reminds me of people who write computer viruses. So much time and effort gone into screwing up people’s lives, and zero put into making things better.

I will start with “government healthcare” as your first falsehood (The insurance companies still provide policies and coverage and the insured still see private doctors.) Second, please provide a link to your studies to verify the numbers you give. Third, what about the millions who couldn’t afford healthcare at all and now have it?

That would be counterproductive to the GOP, who’s only mission is to delegitimize the n*****r in the white house by harming America.
