I believe Harry Reid will testify on this, just ask him about the gentleman's deal he had with
Sen Turtle.

You cannot trust the republicans.

That was the camel's nose under the tent. Not to mention the precedent for shutting things down by executive fiat. Plus, it only takes a simple majority to defund it. The law needs serious fixing.

It is the goal of the Republicans to destroy the Affordable Care Act. Any delay will make further delays possible until it simply fades from the sunlight.

They're trying to call time outs and get the ball back for one last hail mary.

Not gonna work......I hope. To cave here would be the biggest disappointment from the Dems in my lifetime, bar none.

Plan is to delay "Obamacare" until 2016, when they hope a Republican president can sign a repeal.

Up until about the GOP convention, they were saying they wanted to "repeal and replace" the ACA. Now it is just "repeal". The GOP's health care position (beyond repealing the ACA) is tort "reform" and allowing insurance companies to sell policies across state lines. Two things that are not going to move the needle on costs OR increase coverage. But when you get down to it, they don't see a problem with the current system.
