How Republicans Can Repeal Health Reform

When barry was running for office did he tell you that you must wait 4 years and longer for full obamacare ? I did not hear that. Did you learn about obamacare on CSPAN, as obama promised ? How many other promises did he break concerning obamacare ? CBO says no savings. We know there will be denial of care.
To wait 5 years to give it a chance isn’t going to happen. Not working in WY, MA, Canada, England, Cuba, etc.. Cost overruns and care restrictions.
In short order something like Republican plan can pass and begin in short order. With cash savings…

Difficult with One House.
I do not believe the Senate is as it was. Deaf to the will of the people. During obama’s campaign a Democrat from my State was a lap dog to obama. Her recent words has changed. If this is a barometer of motivation of Senate, could be helpful against obamacare. Remember CONTRACT WITH AMERICA.
Obama & Pelosi haven’t even tried to clear up what they claim as lies/misconceptions of obamacare. Wisely they choice most of obamecare to take effect after Presidential election. America not saving ALL THAT MONEY. Ha-ha in the mean time. Not helping ALL THOSE PEOPLE. Saving the ILL and their NESTEGGS. Another ha-ha.

mr. roff. it would seem from your piece that you are one of the fortunate ones who has decent healthcare,well bully for you.it,s people such as yourself,and members of congress,who are in fine shape,who donn;t understand or donn;t care about the plight of many people who are not as fortunate.before we rush off to repeal the law it would seem more prudent to let the law be fully implemented and then,if needed,fix the parts that may not be working as they were intended to preform.this would insure that we have a healthcare system that benefits everyone.
