Republicans Look To Capitalize On Obamacare Problems Heading Into 2014 Elections

[Purveyor]

WASHINGTON (AP) — “Obamacare” escaped unharmed from the government shutdown Republicans hoped would stop it, but just as quickly they have opened a new line of attack — one handed to them by the administration itself.

While Congress was arguing, President Barack Obama’s plan to expand coverage for the uninsured suffered a self-inflicted wound. A computer system seemingly designed by gremlins gummed up the first open enrollment season. After nearly three weeks, it’s still not fixed.

Republicans hope to ride that and other defects they see in the law into the 2014 congressional elections. Four Democratic senators are facing re-election for the first time since they voted for the Affordable Care Act, and their defeat is critical to GOP aspirations for a Senate majority.

Democrats say that’s just more wishful thinking, if not obsession.

Although Obama’s law remains divisive, only 29 percent of the public favors its complete repeal, according to a recent Gallup poll. The business-oriented wing of the Republican party wants to move on to other issues. Americans may be growing weary of the health care fight.

12. Some how assholes doesn't seem harsh enough

[LeftofObama]

3. I saw a little bit of Meet The Press today and David Gregory was jumping on the

"broken website" bandwagon. Liberal media my ass!

[Turbineguy]

4. And the more problems they can make,

the better.

[Champion Jack]

5. it's funny that the assholes who bitched the loudest about shutting it down

are the ones complaining that you can't sign up...

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. They have hidden their mirrors.

That's where their real troubles lie.

[Lil Missy]

8. Please do focus on Obamacare. You will lose. n/t

[madrchsod]

9. bullshit...

ACA will be have the bugs worked out before the political races heat up.

[Mr.Bill]

10. By next election, millions will be getting

their insurance cheaper than they ever dreamed, not to mention those who couldn't get insurance at all before the ACA. This is a death blow to the Republican party, and they know it. That's why they are flailing.

11. Mostly to fill some media hoopla slots. Soon it will be clear that a website and a national health

care plan are two really different things...especially as people really are getting signed up. The media mouthpieces bray like asses based on a wet finger held up in the wind.

Grow weary of the health care fight? Not. The fight is over. We won. People are getting health care for the first time and they will like it even if it doesn't magically appear online. People will camp out on the streets with sleeping bags for a new CD or something. Lines snake around forever for sporting events. Not like there are lots of options other than to not sign up.

Remember...next is single payer, but don't tell them yet. Stand firm.
