Democratic Party Solidarity on Defense forced the Republicans to PUNT....

[bvar22]

NOW, it is time to score some points for the WIN with a STRONG, Unified OFFENSE.
The Dems would be foolish to just walk away from this opportunity.

There are a number of different Points Scoring Offensive Opportunities available,
but I would like to see The Party take on the Republican Governors and Republican State Congresses who turned down the Medicaid Expansion.

Many of them are in the South, so this is a great time to Spend Some MONEY and buy Prime Time adds across the South featuring testimonials from grateful people in other states whose families have been covered by the "ObamaCare" Medicaid Expansion,
and to point out explicitly that the Hundreds of Thousands of Working Class residents of their state would have been covered too......but the REPUBLICANS turned down the FREE MONEY that would have helped them.

"Hi. I'm a self employed small farmer. My Family made less than $35 Thousand dollars last year, and we are struggling to keep the kids in school and put food on the table. We haven't been able to afford Health Insurance for the last 7 years,
so we couldn't go to the Doctor when we needed to.
But NOW, thanks to ObamaCare, WE ARE COVERED!
Thanks to ObamaCare, when the kids get sick, we CAN take them to a doctor!
Thank You, ObamaCare!"

But FIRST:
[font size=3]Fix HealthCare.Gov! [/font]
Whatever it takes...Whatever the cost.....IMMEDIATELY.
There is NO excuse for this embarrassing performance on the roll out of ObamaCare. This is giving ammunition to the enemy.
Incompetent Heads should have already rolled.

This is week #3, and My Wife & I are STILL unable to get beyond the "Account Successfully Created" screen before the lock up.
This is unacceptable.
I am DYING to tell all the life long Republican , self-employed, hard working, small farmers & businessmen, making under $35K/year WITH FAMILIES who currently have NO INSURANCE and few good teeth to logon to HealthCare.Gov and get ObamaCare.... for FREE!


(We currently reside in very rural Arkansas,
and thankfully, our state has opted in to a modified Expansion of Medicaid.
My Wife & I should be fully covered under the Medicaid Expansion).

1. It is hard to make incompetent heads roll

when it is all outsourced to for-profit companies that have incentives only to check off boxes, and not to actually serve the people.

2. "Little reason for celebration"

This WAS a good Defensive Victory,
but we didn't WIN anything....yet.

The Republicans ARE on the ropes.
Time to go on Offense and actually WIN something.

3. Democrats are going on offense with immigration reform. That's already been announced nt

5. I heard that.

Seems a strange strategy to me.

8. Divide and conquer. Will the supposedly sane moderate Republicans just shrug their

shoulders and kill immigration reform in order to appease the crazy xenophobes in their conference?

Seems to me that gives them a choice of (a) giving the middle finger to Latinos; or (b) standing up to the crazies.

Smart money is on (a). Come to think of it, all the money is on (a).

6. OP went right over your head?

What a tragedy.

Health care is #1, as in the OP.

But blurring the message is your forte, eh?

7. Sorry you consider immigration reform unimportant nt

4. "Incompetent Heads should have already rolled"

agreed with that statement, said this yesterday, it is exactly the reason why you don't need
lobbyist in DC. These firms lobby for the contract just so they can screw it up, if a smaller
firm had one this contract things will probably been much more smother than what we have
now.

9. Defensive win, now time for offense

I like your thinking! K&R
