It's gonna cost them dearly in upcoming elections as the majority of people are blaming republican's.
I don't see much of a difference between Republicans and Democrats. They differ on some social issues. When some Republicans lose then they join Democrats, and vice versa (search google "Democrats becomes Republicans" and "Republicans become Democrat", or even better Wikipedia for "party switching")

The Congressional Budget Office found that health insurance reform will reduce the deficit by $210 billion in this decade and by more than $1 trillion over the following 10 years.
The former head of the CBO explained that all the CBO does is take assumptions from Congress, do the analysis, and determine the results. Congress can make wacky assumptions that make no sense, and CBO has to use them in their analysis. He called it, "garbage in, garbage out". Thus, the CBO cannot held as reliable.
I would hope that money could be saved.
However, it makes no sense to me. The federal government is incredibly inefficient. I know, I work for the federal government for that very reason, because they pay enormous salaries and require so little work.
You don't get something for nothing. That is the promise of ACA. Their hopes are pinned that the young people working at low wage, part time jobs will fund ACA by paying for insurance they don't use. That seems silly to me.
QuoteIt will not be free why do so many people assume all will get free healthcare? Those people are already in the U.S. and can use the emergency rooms presently so we all are paying for it now may as well make them pay some. Besides many republican(hypocrites) owned businesses use Mexican labor!
Why do you keep degrading Republicans? Who cares about Republicans. The concern is for the U.S. Republic and when it defaults on the debt.
Right now illegals get emergency services, not full-service health care. There is no comparison. I know Americans without insurance that are told, "don't come back without money".
QuoteThe repubs shut down the govt. because of O'Bamacare how did they work out for them?
Is that good for our country because they obviously don't care about putting people out of work when they don't agree with the with the act that was passed by both houses and upheld by the SCOTUS?
The debt marches on .. 17+ trillion now .. you deny at your own peril .. the correction will be swift when it happens, and brutal to the poor and those that are not ready. Americans will clearly vote themselves into poverty. This is not about political parties. This about the U.S. Republic failing.
