Bad Idea of the Day

++The House voted to repeal Obamacare. All Democrats voted to oppose. The GOP tried to insert an amendment that the House will draft a replacement bill but fights broke out on that.

++The House repeal will go to the Senate where the Democrats, if they are not sleeping, will filibuster.

++President Obama pledges to veto.

++But the Wall Street Journal says that the GOP wants to use "reconciliation" as a means to repeal it without a veto being available. This was the technique that the GOP said the Democrats would use to pass Obamacare. They didn't. 

++This is a train moving to certain disaster.

House Votes for the 52nd Time to Repeal Obamacare

++The House holding doctors' pay hostage repealed Obamacare for a stunning 52 times. But this will not affect the GOP.

++Bobby Jindal has answered the ads on his refusing the expansion of Medicaid by saying it hurts the disabled.

++Since January of this year alone, there have been 31,000 ads against Obamacare.

++The Americans for Prosperity, the Koch-funded front group, now claims they are the leading organization for the freedom of healthcare.

++Senate Republicans blocked aid to the Ukraine because they insisted that Koch-funded 501-C-4s be protected against any IRS regulations.

++Brainwrap issued his final projections for Obamacare. He thinks 5.5 million will have signed up by the end of March and over 5 million will receive Medicaid expansion. Throw-in the 3.1 million adult children covered by their parents and you got about 14 million benefiting directing from the ACA. If you already have insurance you already benefit from the additional protections.

++The number one generator of traffic to Healthcare.gov is Obama appearance on the Do or Die  comedy "Between the Ferns". Of course,he demeaned the office of President.
