Plouffe: GOP will regret ‘ObamaCare’ tag, says law will be upheld
The Hill
Senior White House advisor David Plouffe predicted Sunday that Republicans will come to realize they made a big mistake by constantly calling the president’s sweeping healthcare reform law “ObamaCare.”
“I am convinced that at the end of this decade, Republicans are going to regret turning this into ‘ObamaCare,’” he said on Fox News Sunday.
The remarks come two days after Obama’s reelection campaign similarly embraced the term that conservatives have used to bash the healthcare statute that Democrats passed in 2010.
“Most of the law doesn’t take effect until 2014, but important parts are getting implemented right now. 2.5 million people between the ages of 21 and 26 have healthcare only because of this healthcare law,” Plouffe said, also citing prescription drug assistance for millions of seniors, and fairer financial treatment for women seeking preventive care like mammograms.
Plouffe’s comments come ahead of oral arguments over the constitutionality of the law before the Supreme Court that begin Monday.
“We are confident that it will be constitutional,” he said.
Wild Thing’s comment……
I am soooo sick of the threats from Obama and his people.
If SCOTUS rules in favor of Obamacare, our Constitution isn’t worth the roll of toilet paper on my wall. Our nation as it existed will no longer exist as our God Given Freedoms will now be grants of the government.
Plouffe is just another Obama lacky like Axelrod.
Whatever they say has no relevance to anything factual. It is merely the standard Progressive Crap that we have been hearing for the past 3 1/2 years.
They also, are very big on put downs and name calling. Yet like the school yard bully, whenever something like tha, is thrown back at them, they run to the Media, crying violations of their rights, or some such nonsense.
If you think this is something, wait until the Campaign swing gets into full gear. The Insults and innuendos regarding Republicans and their candidates will make talk like this pale, in comparison
If obamacare is ruled constitutional and obama is reelected we will be living under a socialist system just like the ones that are tearing Europe apart. Irregardless of our voting rights, our basic freedoms will be controlled by a centralized govt. New technologies will enable the govt to control every aspect of our lives from heating/cooling our homes to how we drive our cars(black boxes now in all new cars). We may even have a dictator for a leader if The Constitution is totally trashed.
Thanks everyone. Yes once the General campaign starts it will be uglier then ever.
