House just defunded it, sure Democrats in the Senate will vote for it and Obama will veto it and it will be funded by force but then Democrats own it.

Watch for Obama to delay more provisions of Obamacare until after the 2014 elections. As it is now all three branches of the Government are now exempt from Obamacare, if it's not good enough for them, it shouldn't be good enough for those who pay their salaries.

No matter where a person stands on politics, it has been genuinely disgusting to see Congress carve out special exemptions for congressional staffers, credits and so forth.

If Obamacare is great, there should be no need for HEW to grant hundreds of waivers to unions who urged Obamacare be passed.

And why wasn't Obamacare good enough for Congress?

Not only that why isn't good enough for Obama's staff along with the whole judicial branch, their exemptions were written into the original Law?

How can Obamacare suck if it hasn't been fully implemented?

The exchanges haven't even opened up yet, but the neocons claim that it will be more costly, even though Walgreen has shifted lower wage employees over to the private exchanges. I thought this is the free market solution that the neocons wanted???

Quite easily; its conceptual framework never made an iota of sense.

For example, there is a subsidy level for poor people. Thus, there will be constant lobbying efforts to increase that, but therein lies the rub for its financial rationale. There will never be enough young, healthy people paying in to support the enormous cost of adding upwards of 30 million people to a federally overseen plan.

And the 12 million illegals? Obama did lie, as that Member of Congress yelled. The illegals WILL get Obamacare via free clinics.

As to "neoncons," find a new label. There were about 3 neocons in Washington even when the movement was in full flower.
