Mr. Boehner, the best way to battle Obamacare is to implement Obamacare in its entirety as soon as possible. Negotiate for no delays, no subsidies, no exemptions. Obamacare will be stopped or greatly changed only after millions of people are adversely affected in their pocketbooks. The Democrats own this one completely!
It seems to me that Obamacare has had three different stages of life.
1. The content as it was sold. There were all kinds of promises about how much money we could save. We could keep our doctor. We could keep our plan. We would see cost-effective coverage for all Americans. Then again, we would have to pass the law to see what was in it.
2. The content as it was signed. I realize that Charles Grassley sponsored the original amendment regarding lawmakers and staff going into the exchanges. The Roll Call website reports that “Grassley sponsored the original amendment requiring lawmakers and staffers to enter the Obamacare exchanges, but he didn’t intend for them to lose the employer subsidy.” “Grassley said staff for Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., did not properly draft the statutory language for his amendment, omitting language that would have allowed lawmakers and staff to keep their employer contribution while in the exchanges.” Cynicism toward the law grew because of that omission.
3. The content as it is implemented. Exemptions and delays for some (for purely political purposes) are patently unfair while others must live by the law.
