In 2010, Nancy Pelosi famously claimed that Congress needed to pass Obamacare in order to find out what’s in it. Well, a federal court just read Obamacare and found out what wasn’t in it: tax credit subsidies for federal exchange health plans

      This was probably intended as a feature that would twist the arms of Governors and state legislatures .

       The majority of Governors being Republicans  , perhaps Republican Senators and Congressmen , or even the Governors themselves could have been consulted rather than threatened.

True & true, though I doubt any more states would have agreed to the tactics being employed by the WH

Hmmmm.......only a 1/3 of Dems support that which just had to be passed......on a pure party-line basis?  Imagine that

Nonetheless, the GOP has ceased to vote to repeal it every Tuesday. Neither party is mentioning it here in FL.

Can we get a list of the people still proud of it?

It's the primary reason that the Dems are going to lose control of the Senate

That is simply not true.

IF the Democrats lose the Senate, it will be because there are more Democrats retiring in swing states, and because, in non-presidential election years, many Democrats stay home and do not vote at all.

Obamacare will not be scrapped. It may be changed, but national health care is here to stay.

It's the primary reason they're going to lose control of the senate, and why many Dems are also choosing to retire, rather than lose because of their previous support of perhaps the worst piece of crap legislation to be forced upon us by the sole effort of that one party

..........., but national health care is here to stay.

  I would rather have rational health care.

    Or perhaps adequate health care .

      If the health care is irrational and inadequate , it doesn't help that the situation is nation wide.

Take a stupid quote and repeat it over and over, that's the ticket.

It is a very good indirect way to let the world know you are a fool.

And you are a fool imitating her and winning the foolishness derby.

EWhy not give us a seventeen paragraph essay on the 57 states Obama believes there are.
Perhaps he learned there were 57 states in Kenya.

And... what did Donald Trump's "researchers" find out on their investigatory trip to Hawaii?
