GOP EXPAND OBAMACARE


  
WASHINGTON (AP) - At the prodding of business organizations, House Republicans quietly secured a recent change in President Barack Obama's health law to expand coverage choices, a striking, one-of-a-kind departure from dozens of high-decibel attempts to repeal or dismember it.
" It is unclear how many members of the House rank and file knew of it because the legislation was passed by a highly unusual voice vote without debate. ... . the provision reflects a calculation that no matter how hard the party tries, the earliest the law can be repealed is after Obama leaves office in 2017. "

Democrats describe the change involving small-business coverage options as a straightforward improvement of the type they are eager to make, and Obama signed it into law. Republicans are loath to agree, given the strong sentiment among the rank and file that the only fix the law deserves is a burial.


It's only because my wife was employed by the health industry, and thus lived through it real time, that I was aware that, even after the Gingrich revolution supposedly  ended all notion of Hillary-care, the GOP enacted whole parts of it piecemeal.

I raise an eyebrow when a Satanist becomes "born again". Not sure if this fits but when a liberal gets to hating what they promoted for so long I smirk a little but wont trust them for a while.
