Obama Tells GOP: Time To Get Over Obamacare

"Touting the news that Obamacare had reached 7 million sign-ups, an almost unthinkable achievement so soon after the law's disastrous October launch, President Barack Obama sent a direct message Tuesday to Republicans and their efforts to stymie the law: Get over it.

"The debate over repealing this law is over. The Affordable Care Act is here to stay," Obama said Tuesday in the White House Rose Garden. "In the end, history is not kind to those who deny Americans basic economic security. Nobody remembers well those who stand in the way of America's progress or our people. That's what the Affordable Care Act represents."

The president's remarks followed an unprecedented flurry of good news this week for the law and its supporters. Enrollment beat the Congressional Budget Office's original projection, which had been revised down after HealthCare.gov website flopped in the fall. The Los Angeles Times estimated that 9.5 million previously uninsured people had been covered. A Washington Post-ABC News poll found that support for Obamacare broke even for the first time.

Obama's comments effectively launched a new White House effort to sell the law's benefits to the public, senior administration officials told reporters -- and to warn about the consequences of repealing it. Having 7 million people enrolled in coverage should give the White House more ammunition to make the case, they said.

"This law is doing what it's supposed to do. It's working. It's helping people from coast to coast. All of which makes the lengths to which critics have gone to scare people, or undermine the law, or repeal the law... so hard to understand," Obama said. "I don't get it. Why are folks working so hard for people not to have health insurance? Why are they so mad about the idea of folks having health insurance?" "

"In the end, history is not kind to those who deny Americans basic economic security. Nobody remembers well those who stand in the way of America's progress or our people. That's what the Affordable Care Act represents."

Does Obama call taking exorbitant amounts of money from the middle class/young Americans and subsidizing the lazy economic security? Does he call making cuts in Medicaid economic security? Does he call forcing people to pay for benefits they don't need, increasing co-pays, and crossing religious boundaries economic security? Does he call employee hours being cut/employee dismissal because companies cannot afford it economic security? Does he call forcing Americans to have insurance they don't want or need economic security?..etc. Obama is denying economic security to the Americans that financially support this country, so he is a hypocrite. Many Americans will be paying for something they cannot afford. When he says America's progress, he means governing under liberal/socialist/progressive ideals. Obamacare is a grab for power and control of Americans/a chunk of the economy, that is the bottom line. It has nothing to do with benefiting Americans except for the ones that take advantage of free stuff. There are many Americans that are not GOPers that do not want Obamacare. We are Americans and not Obama's 'our' people. Let's not forget the 'chosen ones' that Obama exempts from the Obamacare disaster; they will have economic security, at least as far as Obamacare goes. And, lastly, I don't believe anything that comes out of Obama's mouth. Period.

So let me see if I have this straight; we needed this law because 47 million people did not have health insurance. So, we mandated they get it under penalty of law. The details of the law caused 7 million people to lose their coverage. So, now 54 million people are not covered.

In response to the mandate, 7 million people "signed up" for the health care insurance, leaving 47 million people uninsured.

How is that a victory?

It is not a victory. Obama, Carney and Sibelius say it is a victory; so it is not. Period.

The ad that popped up in your reply was 'Should Obama be impeached?' :lol:

Yeah, well, the regime has come up with miraculous, just-in-the-nick-of-time numbers before (more than once), only to have them turn out to be, shall we say "less than accurate" ex post facto.

If I recall...the unemployment number dropped just before the election only to be "corrected" later. I expect the same here.
