Do You Think that Romney Would Really Repeal All of Obamacare?

[TheDev]

Do you? I don't. I don't see how anyone could.

 

[waggy]

no. i don't think he would actually.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Fortunately, he'll never have the chance.

 

[Smoblikat]

Not in a million years, he will have no problem TELLING us that he will, just to try and get in office, but in reality his ideas and policies are the basis of obamacare.

 

[sactoking]

Last I knew the President doesn't enact legislation, so I'll go out on a limb and say no President ever will repeal the ACA.

 

[Jaskalas]

It will not be possible to obtain 60 Senators to agree with that.

So it does not matter what Romney thinks.

Yeah, that's the thing.

 

[Anarchist420]

Fuck no.

He supports it fully, he just says he doesnt.

 

[MovingTarget]

I'm not sure, but a Republican Congress certainly would regardless of Romney.

 

[umbrella39]

no. i don't think he would actually.

This.

Oh boy...
This is the false assumption that just might get Romney elected.
Same with seniors. They believe Mitt would NEVER cut their Medicare or social security.
Women believe R vs W could never be overturned.
Some gays believe Romney would never propose a constitutional amendment banning state approved same sex marriage.

People are confused. They still believe this is the old Mitt Romney. WRONG!!!
This is the tea party fully functional religious conservative radical right wing Mitt Romney.

If ANYONE who is considering giving Romney a chance believes Romney would never follow thru with campaign promises, shame on you! You are a fool.

Romney's hands are tied. His path is set. He is an owned man.
He owes the religious right to stop abortion on all levels with no exceptions.
Mitt owes Karl Rove for raising millions for his benefit.
Mitt owes Sheldon Adelson.
Mitt has payback to fulfill. Lots of payback.

Excluding this convention, every single word out of Romney's mouth thus far has been in full support of radical right wing policies as well as radical religious policies.
Not to mention radical ecomic policies.

Take Mitt for his word. He will gutt Obamacare on day one.
Scrap Medicare as we know it, replacing it with a voucher system.
Privitise social security.
Push for radical changes on social issues thru constitutional amendments.
Pack the courts with ridical right wing religious conservatives to over turn Roe v Wade.
And if that doesn't give one pause, consider the current wars Mitt would fully support continuing, as well as the new military engagements he has already promised throughout the world.
And consider that cost to the American economy as well as the cost to each and every tax payer (excluding that top 1%' naturally).

Will Mitt Romney do what he has promised if elected? Damn straight he would.
He must. He has no choice. No choice at all.

Well, he did say he would sign an executive order allowing all 50 states to ignore the ACA:

MITT'S PLAN

On his first day in office, Mitt Romney will issue an executive order that paves the way for the federal government to issue Obamacare waivers to all fifty states. He will then work with Congress to repeal the full legislation as quickly as possible.

In place of Obamacare, Mitt will pursue policies that give each state the power to craft a health care reform plan that is best for its own citizens. The federal government’s role will be to help markets work by creating a level playing field for competition.

So you'd think he would do at least that. Though personally I bet he'd rather make a very minimal attempt to repeal it and then quickly bury the issue.

Why throw the baby out with the olypic sized pool of dirty bathwater? There are some small, good items in there which are being smothered by the large amounts of bad things. Keep the few good items, toss away the rest.

Currently, the office of the president is a pawn to big business.

Laws that force people to buy a product is the goal of every business.

 

[Phokus]

Mitt Romney was caught on camera telling a supporter that he would bring ROmneycare national back in 2007 and there isn't THAT much different with Obamacare, so i doubt he would overturn it.

 

[cybrsage]

The one thing I hope gets removed is the part where your company and you get punished if you have great healthcare for low cost. Obamacare hates that and wants it to go away.

 

[Blackjack200]

I love how Obama has embraced the Replublican moniker "Obamacare" and said that his opponents plan should be called 'Romney Doesn't Care'.

Good stuff.

Yeah, I'm not so sure the ACA is so good for business: capped upside potentialand unlimited downside potential.

Witty, but too long of a phrase to find common usage.
