It's "deal time".
Time for some REAL "dealing" by the Republicans, based on the weight of the leverage they'll obtain from a Supreme Court decision that tosses out the subsidies.
The Republican offer to the democrats should be:
Yes, we'll restore the subsidies with corrective language, but...
... ONLY with the following changes to the law:
1. Repeal the penalties for not buying insurance. Get rid of the mandates. ALL of them.
2. Repeal some or all of the mandatory requirements for health insurance coverage (such as policies for men having to cover maternity).
3. Get rid of any oversight boards or committees that could be construed as comprising "death panels".
4. Repeal the medical device tax.
And, last but not least:
5. Remove the IRS from having any control over the enforcement of the Affordable Care Act. No power to collect penalties, no nuthin'.
This is how a party in the majority cuts a deal.
Make them an offa they can't refuse.
Think the Pubbies will wise up to such a notion?
Not necessarily disagreeing with you, but.....
* Every poll ever taken since it passed says that the VAST majority of Americans HATE Obamacare. Nothing Obama claimed/promised came to pass or was true.
* The mid-terms of 2010 and 2014 proved it....down to dogcatcher in any hick town in the USA.
* Obamacare is the runaway #1 reason for the recession of the American economy since Christmas Eve, 2009 until the present. Regardless of what the lying mainstream media tries to tell us. Companies are sitting on buku cash and are simply waiting this SOB out.
* Literally...EVERY word that comes out of Obama's mouth is a lie.
I'm not worried in the least.
WALKER/RUBIO is going to be the ticket. Might as well resign yourselves to it.
