In reply to the discussion: Ted Cruz: ‘Why is President Obama threatening to shut down the federal government?’ [View all]Volaris
(11,752 posts)23. ahahah see, at this point,
If I were a Dem Congressmann, I would put a bill on the floor that repeals the ACA in it's entierety, and then REPLACES it with a govt, not-fot-profit corporation who's only purpose is the expansion of Medicare to anyone who WANTS to sign up for it, and the delivery of services paid for by the premiums those people who choose to OPTIONALLY sign up for the program pay in.
Any Democrat with any spine would ABSOUTELY force them to put up or shut up when it comes to repeal and replace. I would DARE them to show the public how much they really truly HATEHATEHATE Obamacare, and what they are willing to swallow to get rid of it lol.
But I would do these things because I'm a Dick, and I'm pretty serious about it.

Why am I not surprised that the Tea Baggers are trying to frame the debate this way?
