   Taxes begin immediately. Benefits to come never.

   That box will probably never be opened, and if it is many people will be surprised to find out what is actually inside. The Democrat party now sees it as a ticking bomb which will destroy the economy. They’re trying to lengthen the fuse as they distance themselves as far away from it as possible.

   Obamacare would be much better if the socialists who voted for it and the socialists who wanted it were forced by a gun barrel to live with it exclusively for the next 100 years, just to see what the outcome would be. After all, who better to test it on than those wanting it? Then at the end of 100 years, those who didn’t want it can look at the results. Of course one result would be no more socialists. Bad socialist ideas deserve to die.

   - Taking time to make sure a few things work properly so the whole thing works would make sense to most people.

   And you don’t think the current system isn’t socialist? Uninsured person comes into the emergency room, is treated free of charge …important to save a human life, don’tcha know…and the cost gets passed on to the rest of us in the form of higher hospital fees, higher insurance premiums, etc. Free ride for the uninsured. The only way this could be solved is if we got tough and refused medical treatment to the uninsured, which, I hope, we aren’t cruel enough to do. So, what’s YOUR plan?

   Keep on drinkin’. It will help you believe that the extensions have nothing to do with keeping Dems in power.

   …………………………except conservatives,,,,,,with so much hatred for our President and his allies that they would see our nation in ruin….
   And, it seems to be, at least from them, easier to hate than to love..
   And, socialism is not evil…..man is by his very nature a social creature..
   Repression is evil, if anything is..
   Overtaxed/Ms.Ima/whatever…..Germany has has their version of ACA for 150 years….
   But, you say it does not work…
   Strange…

   Yeah, sorry, but no. I would be thrilled if it were about them fine tuning. It’s not. The fact they are keeping it on hold until later speaks volumes about how little faith the Democrats themselves have in it. People deserve health care. Not party rhetoric. This is the main reason I’m for scraping it and coming up with something else.

    Where did Obama get the power to change the law without the congress and the senate?Is he doing this because Obamacare is making him and the dems look bad?

    If you like your plan you can keep your plan ,period.

    We have to pass it to find out what’s in it.

    Adrian, you are correct, repression IS evil. Now, can you or anyone else explain how forcing me into buying a health care plan that I don’t want or need is not repressive?

    you would think that 5 years would be enough to iron out the bugs wouldn’t you?

    Some cynics might say the delays have something to do with the ‘14 elections.

    
    About which we, as of current date, don’t have a lot of hard, reliable data about what’s going to happen.

    
    IEM says there’s a 10% chance the Republicans will lose the House, and a 25% chance the Democrats will lose the Senate, so the most likely outcome is the current status quo.

    
    Rasmussen’s Congressional poll gives the Republicans 36% who plan to vote for them today and gives the Democrats 39%. But Congressional polls aren’t that reliable.

    
    (The most uncannily accurate predictor for the ‘12 election was, of course fivethirtyeight, which is supposed to reappear sometime after St Patrick’s Day.)
