But it did.
You never say never. If ObamaCare somehow is a Godsend, then people will see it for themselves and want it.
But if it continues to be something that Congress itself doesn't want to use, the Unions don't want, costs jobs, drives up insurance premiums for the majority of people...then yes, it can and will be stopped.
And if you listen to what Republicans are saying in this "defunding" argument (by the way, how come it has to be funded if it's everybody buying insurance?)...they are demanding that it be delayed for citizens the same way that Obama PERSONALLY had it delayed for big businesses.
The Republicans are saying it needs to be fixed before it is implemented.
The Democrats are saying it needs to be implemented before it is fixed.
My own thoughts are: The Democrats KNEW this was coming for 4 years. But they still didn't fix the shit that every business in America told them was going to happen.
NOW...they want to put it in play and THEN fix it?
Probably not the smartest thing to do. Especially if you are one of millions of struggling people who is about to lose precious hours of pay from the place you are working because the company doesn't want to pay for ObamaCare.
It's easy for us to sit here and debate it. But for tens of millions of Americans who are just barely getting by already...it's disastrous.

So far the cost are lower than what has been projected. Texas for example, in Austin the med plan average rate will be $169/month B4 the subsidies are applied.
Of course there is no crystal ball, but so far none of the doom and gloom that the Right has cried about is coming true.
The right coined the term Obamacare expecting it to lynch him when it failed, because they were so sure it would fail. In fact the right has a lot invested in Obamacare failing.
It's going to be very funny if Obamacare works and people actually want it..
I bet if that happens the righties will try to rebrand it's Freedomcare... LoL and of course that they really supported it all along.
