That's because Obozo care really is just catastrophic insurance. They punish you severely if you use it. Of course after Britain's courts ruled Charlie Guard belongs to the state and not his parents we can see how special government run socialized medicine really is. Death panels coming son to your neighborhood.

I just started this thred so that when the Senate finally gets around to voting on something, we can see what it is.

Senate actions[edit]
The Affordable Health Care for America Act, H.R. 3962, as engrossed or passed by the House of Representatives, was received in the Senate, read into the record and placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders (Calendar No. 210, Nov. 16, 2009).

H.R. 3962 as eventually enacted[edit]
A different bill, under the same bill number H.R. 3962, was eventually passed by Congress and, on June 25, 2010, was signed by the President. This is the "Preservation of Access to Care for Medicare Beneficiaries and Pension Relief Act of 2010."[29]

That would be June of next year to beat the pace of the Dems on Obamacare when they had 60 votes and told the GOP to fuck off.

The ACA made it out of committee in the House of Representatives in July 2009, after a month-long markup and 160 Republican amendments. The House didn’t vote on it until November 7th.

In 2010, the Senate health committee spent nearly 60 hours over the course of 13 days marking up the legislation that would become the ACA.

The Senate Finance Committee held 53 meetings about the ACA and an eight-day markup of the bill, which was the longest markup for the committee in over 20 years. The committee considered 130 amendments and held 79 roll-call votes.

There were 44 hearings and public events about the plan in the Senate alone.

As opposed to zero days in committee and zero public hearings while the Senate tries to shoehorn something into reconciliation because they're not even sure if they can muster 50 votes, let alone 60.

It's only 1/8 of the economy, what could possibly go wrong?

Obamacare

So a process that yielded a flawed product (Obummercare) after over a year of deliberation and public hearings as well as numerous amendments from both sides of the aisle is, ipso facto, worse than six dudes meeting in private and various members of the Senate slapping on amendments that may or may not be incorporated into the final product, as Mitch McConnell and the conference committee see fit (Troompcare)

The GOP bill in is progress. The massive piece of shit known as Obamacare is one of the road blocks. You guys are whining about what has happened after 6 months. I'm pointing out is was well over a year for Obama to get that piece of shit with everything in his favor

There was no both sides of the aisle on Obamacare and the dems are sitting this one out. Obama told the GOP to pound sand because he had enough democrats

Let's not rewrite history

Let's not rewrite history
He held a summit on health care.
It was clear then and it's clear now the Two parties are so far apart that it's not even worth trying to be bipartisan anymore. Out of all of the absolutely dreadful aspects of this death bill the lack of democratic support is very low on that list
