RichClem Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I'm not as optimistic as this columnist. I'm inclined to think that Dems will go down with the ship. But it will be repealed, and when it is, lots and lots of Democrats will vote for the repeal. Obamacare Will Be Repealed Well In Advance Of The 2014 ElectionsPrediction: even if HealthCare.gov is fixed by the end of the month (unlikely), Obamacare is going to be repealed well in advance of next year’s election. And if the website continues to fail, the push for repeal—from endangered Democrats—will occur very rapidly. The website is a sideshow: the real action is the number of people and businesses who are losing their health plans or having to pay a lot more. Fixing the website will only delay the inevitable.http://www.forbes.com/sites/stevenhayward/2013/11/11/obamacare-will-be-repealed-well-in-advance-of-the-2014-elections/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaB Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Either that or they will fix it. We'll see. It's too bad that people judge something this complex after it's been out what, 5? 6 weeks? It took years to get the bugs out of SS and Medicare. But if anything takes longer to fix than 10 minutes now, why, it's a failure. I blame this on things like YouTube, 24/7 news, mobile devices (we can't stand to be out of touch with the entire world for even 1 minute). It's a shame, because in a world where no one pays attention to anything longer than a minute, it's a target-rich environment for would-be dictators whose message(s) can be compressed into bites that are high on emotional content and requiring no thought.

norwegen Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 It will not be repealed. That is my prediction. Since the Progressive Era, positive law in the United States has amassed staying power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the program to work, they need 7 million of the uninsured to purchase a Government exchange policy.. Their target market is the 18-35 age group... How did the Architects of the ACA Law determine these people had the disposable income or even want to purchase a plan? The feedback we are hearing so far is that it isn't as cheap as folks were expecting, especially when considering the massive deductibles attached... I think these people will just opt out and pay the fine...then if they discover they need expensive medical treatment, sign up and not be denied with their pre-existing condition... That's what I'd do if I was in their shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wharf Rat2 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Medicare Part D took 2 + years to fix. The only difference here is the Dems asked what they could do to help fix the Medicare Part D problems. That won't be forgotten come election day either. Republicans are going home.

As I noted, I'm not predicting this timeline, but Obama's lies seem to be causing such anger among voters that even Dems might demand it. Not that it would particularly help them.

norwegen Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Not much positive when the majority views it as negative. I'm not sure if you were serious or not, but just to be clear, positive law is law that is posited, or imposed, as opposed to natural law, which makes regular the civil society. ObamaCare is positive law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobia2 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 that won't be forgotten come election day either. Republicans are going home.

As I noted, I'm not predicting this timeline, but Obama's lies seem to be causing such anger among voters that even Dems might demand it. Not that it would particularly help them. []They passed this monstrosity,[/i] after all. Exactly... I posted on another Thread no matter what the Dems demand or propose for damage control, it doesn't negate the fact they voted for the Bill and pushed for the Law's implementation without even reading it...

The only difference here is the Dems asked what they could do to help fix the Medicare Part D problems. That won't be forgotten come election day either. Republicans are going home. This isn't Medicare Part D. This was a takeover of 18% of the U.S. GDP by the government, and it has failed spectacularly. And it isn't Republicans that are going to be going home after next November's elections, it will be just like 2010 when you idiots forced Obamacare down our throats and lost 63 seats in the House, and 6 seats in the Senate. The American people didn't want Obamacare then, and they still don't want it now. Unfortunately for you, liberals are incapable of learning from history, so they keep repeating their mistakes.

BeAChooser Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Either that or they will fix it. Lisa ... ever the optimist. Never mind that she can't point to one major government program that has been "fixed". Public Education ... despite massive spending increases, still barely graduating half the students from high school on time. Social Security ... threatening bankrupty and giving back only pennies on the dollars to many old and most new *subscribers*. Medicare ... threatening to bankrupt America (Obama himself admitted it). War On Poverty ... $20 trillion dollars and what have we to show for it? War On Racism ... $20 trillion dollars and what have we to show for it? War On Drugs ... still needing a "fix" I suspect ... especially Democrat constituents. But Lisa's ever the optimist. Socialists always are ... ... when it comes to spending other people's money. Since the Progressive Era, positive law in the United States has amassed staying power. I'm curious what you mean by "positive law". For the program to work, they need 7 million of the uninsured to purchase a Government exchange policy. That was BEFORE Obama promised more subsidies ... because he's "sorry". Now it's probably MUCH higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichClem Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 War On Poverty ... $20 trillion dollars and what have we to show for it?
