Could A GOP Senate Take Down Obamacare?

WHAT’S THE FUTURE OF SOCIALIZED MEDICINE IN AMERICA?

By FITSNEWS || We’ve seen a lot of hypocrisy from “Republicans” in the U.S. Senate regarding Obamacare.

Like … a lot.  So naturally we view public statements from Senate leaders as to how they might handle the socialized medicine monstrosity as highly suspect.  But with polls showing the “Republican” party in a position to win a majority of votes in the U.S. Senate – we have to pay attention to what’s said.

Especially when the comments are made in closed door meetings …

According to a story written by Robert Romano of Americans for Limited Government (ALG), a recent closed-door meeting with aides to Senate “Republican” leader Mitch McConnell revealed a strategy which could – if employed successfully – starve the law of the resources it needs to be implemented.

“Aides acknowledged the only way to get any type of repeal or even major changes to the law would be reconciliation,” Romano’s report noted, citing ALG public policy vice president Rick Manning, who was in the meeting.

For those of you unfamiliar with that process, “reconciliation” is a way of amending legislation that deals with tax and spending issues using only a majority of Senators (i.e. fifty-one members) as opposed to a “super-majority” of sixty (which would be required for a technical “repeal” of the law).

“If Republicans are fortunate enough to take back the majority we’ll owe it to the American people to try through votes on full repeal, the bill’s most onerous provisions, and reconciliation,” McConnell spokesman Brian McGuire said.

Which provisions?  Well, Obamacare’s insidious individual mandate and its employer mandate, for starters.

Previously, McConnell has stated publicly that “no one thinks” a GOP-controlled Senate could repeal Obamacare – remarks which landed him in hot water with the limited government wing of the party.

Why does this matter?

Romano explains …

“Putting (a repeal) on Obama’s desk, and forcing him to veto it, clearly makes the presidency the obstacle to getting rid of the health care law,” he wrote.  “This would set up the 2016 presidential election as a clear referendum on whether or not to keep the law.”

In addition to the legislative battle over Obamacare, the law also has another date with destiny in the judicial branch … where a pending case challenges its ability to raise taxes and disburse subsidies in thirty-six states.

FITS weighed in extensively with regard to that case, arguing in support of striking down the taxes and subsidies.

“Obamacare was written with the expressed purpose of bribing states into participating,” we wrote.  “The only problem? Thirty-six states refused the bribe.”

However it happens … Obamacare needs to be shredded.  It’s done nothing but hurt the economy and raise people’s health care costs – precisely the opposite of what its architects promised.  One way or the other, it needs to die.

The easy answer to the questions is: YES. Unfortunately, the reality is they probably won’t. It would take a Libertarian Congress to undo all of the tyrannical illegal laws enforced by our out of control Republocratic government.

My prayer after the Republicans gain the majority in the senate is that Obama either:

A. Runs off and joins ISIS
B. Runs off to Africa to treat Ebola patients

The narcissistic , American hating and Constitutional shredding radical won’t be able to handle this defeat. He will get even and punish this country.

Your ignorance is what keeps people scared of the GOP. Obama took over at one of the worst points in U.S. history. Two wars (one illegal), a destroyed economy due in part to the illegal war, and a destroyed U.S. image internationally. Your ilk has caused irreparable damage.

Would/could Obama/DOJ find a reason to declare Martial Law prior to the election on Tuesday if the polls continue to read a Republican landslide???

Watch carefully the decision of the grand Jury in Ferguson, IF it is released this weekend.Been reading some ‘chatter’ about schools not being in session on Monday in St.Louis County?

Riots would tie in nicely with the Democrat Party’s operation of voter fraud nationwide.

Overriding a veto still takes 2/3rds of the House and Senate. That’s a constitutional thing and has nothing to do with the nuclear option. As much as I’d like to see Obama Care go away, It’s not going to happen via an override at least not this session.

The nut roots of the GOP will demand that Obamacare be repealed and Obama be impeached, IF the GOP wins the senate. They will then find out that McConnell, et al have no intentions of EVER repealing Obamacare. They only use opposition to Obamacare to win votes, but in reality have no desire to repeal it.

Smirks October 31, 2014 at 2:26 pm

You’ve already got Kasich saying “Well, the Medicaid expansion isn’t reeeeeaaaaallllyyyy part of Obamacare…”

What’s going to happen if the GOP takes over is, they’ll make a couple changes to benefit the insurance industry just a bit more, but ultimately leave a good portion of the ACA in tact, and magically declare it “fixed.” Then they’ll get back to cutting taxes for the rich, jacking up spending, and finding another Middle East country to invade.

That is true. The Repubs are at heart little different from the Dems. They will simply use the notion of repeal to win seats. Yet another dupe on their constituency.

Well written
If republicans are smart
They use the same tactics to dismantle Obama care
That the insidious democrats used to ram this abomination through the house & senate
So
If republican politicians truly want to enact the will of the people then they will abolish Obama care
If they know what’s good for them

Republicans impress me less & less on a daily basis.

Where are the true fiscal conservatives ?!?

Voters. Find us some honest men
