I have yet to hear a republican give any specifics as to what's so awful about Obamacare

[tularetom]

I've read a lot of quotes about how it's the worst "bill" ever proposed in the history of the US, how it will put us back into recession, how it will cost jobs and break the Federal government.

But I haven't seen one of the dildos offer an explanation of how all these disasters are going to take place.

IMO, the ACA is a republican wet dream. It forces every American to buy health insurance, thereby creating 40 million new customers for the insurance companies. Why wouldn't any card carrying republican love this law? Because it was proposed by Obama is the only reason I can see.

I guess they hate the black guy more than they like the corporatists, banks and insurance companies that fund them.

1. Where have you looked to see what Republicans specific complaints are about Obamacare? nt

[tularetom]

2. You know some? Enlighten me, I'd love to see them

Admittedly I don't go looking for republican talking points but I'd like to see a rational thoughtful explanation about why this thing will be such a disaster.

3. The ironic thing is the parts that do need tweaking are not discussed, only the lies and

Misrepresentations portrayed as fact by much of our wonderful media, whose job, according to chuck Todd, is not to point those lies and misrepresentations out.

4. My House representative is deeply troubled by the size of the bill.

Evidently it has so many pages it is intimidating and is therefore bad for the country.

5. Their primary objection is the NAME

They can not stand and Hate Obama...so anything he does for the Country should be stomped out, in their eyes.

6. it was implemented by the black man in the white house.

7. Goddammit--you beat me to it!! But that's correct. The black man in the white house is giving away

free stuff.

And that must be stopped.

15. Bullseye ^

8. Largest tax increase in history.

Rationing.
Death panels.
IRS administering your care.

Etc.

You must not deal with the reality challenged often.

9. It returns a small amount of self-determination and dignity to the masses.

And will allow a few to escape from under the thumbs of the corporatists.

Misery and fear are a boon for the GOP.

10. Do we have to give the tea party folks some credit for stiffing "corporatists, banks and insurance

companies that fund them"? Even if it for the "wrong" reason?

11. Stop it.

Most Republicans hate facts. It hurts their little brains to remember them.

In their world education and intelligence are elitist.

12. What's so awful about ACA is that more Americans will find it helpful and that includes Republicans.

They won't tell you that, but I will. They're terrified of it, actually.

13. Repukes don't do facts, all their shtick is based on shallow emotional reply.

They are the party of dysfunctional politics.

14. IMO, it really is a flawed bill that enables gross disparities between states

What will emerge is the sort of state by state variation that we've seen in education and voting rights.

I find it hard to believe that a silver plan with equivalent care is really cheaper in NYC than in Wyoming. Or that a person under 100% of poverty is REQUIRED to 1) seek a job and 2) pay restitution for medicaid payments in WI but is not required to make such a search or restitution in other states.

Although I understand that states may vary somewhat with respect to risk and treatment costs, the lack of uniformity and equal protection across the country is very troubling.
