In a nutshell.....They Lied
The lied to their constituents that they could repeal Obamacare. They knew that once the Supreme Court ruled on Obamacare, there was nothing they could do. John Boehner even admitted that it was a done deal
But rather than move on to more important issues (jobs?) they campaigned on repealing Obamacare. They have to make some sort of a token gesture to show they were serious about repealing. So the country has to suffer to cover up for their lie
the smartest thing republicans can do is let obamacare move forward. while the liberal spin doctors are out there saying look, the average plan is going to cost an individual only $328 a month and trying to make us all feel good. well its only $328 a month if you never get sick. $328 a month you now have to pay, that you didn't have to pay before.
But...... if you get sick, you're looking at a $5000 deductable. and that $5000 is on you. now lets talk co pays. a vist to the office. In CA $60. In NY 50% of what ever the charge is. and after you meet your $5000 deductible, you get to pay 40% of whatever your charges are. i wonder how people who can't afford to buy insurance in the first place are going to pay to use their now mandatory plan? democrats will start dropping like flies in the next election
