Boehner: 'Obamacare is the law of the land'By Michael O'Brien, NBC News
Updated 6 p.m. ET - Republicans' efforts to undo President Barack Obama's health care reform law appear to have come to an end, as House Speaker John Boehner described it Thursday as the "law of the land."
In an interview with ABC News, the nation's top elected Republican seemed to indicate that Congress wouldn't engage in the type of repeated repeal votes the way it had in the past two years. Boehner's office provided a transcript of the exchange:....................................>>>>........................................>>>>................................http://nbcpolitics.nbcnews.com.....law-of-the-land?lite
the republicans are LIARS.....BOTH parties pretend that they weren't party to the outcome....BULLSH!T!!!
the rails were being laid long ago by both parties via rhetoric of the podium...their only issue is in how the contracts get written and how the $$ gets divided....
do we HONESTLY think this is going to be a fair/just/equitable healthcare system?

my guess is that no one here could afford my salary, what makes us think the people resources would accept crappy pay for 'the good of all'?
not to mention how punitive the system has become (pre-crime) and for 'the good of all'
we deserve the shredding of our critical thinking and the shredding of our personal will for 'the good of all'....we are making a great playpen with very high walls.....feel safe and cared for?
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
WASHINGTON (AP) — Some bipartisan cooperation may finally be breaking out in the nation's contentious battle over health care overhaul.
The Obama administration announced Thursday that four red states are on the list of those getting the initial go-ahead to build their own health insurance marketplaces. Open enrollment for millions of uninsured Americans is less than 10 months away — Oct. 1.
The GOP-led states — Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah — joined five others getting conditional approval from Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
Counting previous approvals, 17 states plus Washington, D.C., have been cleared to run their own insurance exchanges.
Washington will set up the new insurance markets in states that don't want to participate.
But at least nine other states are considering partnerships with the administration.

The 112th Congress ended Thursday afternoon without passing a relief package for victims of Hurricane Sandy or reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act, but Rep. Michele Bachmann Instead, at 12:00 PM introduced the very first piece of legislation... to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which states are now busily implementing. House Republicans have unsuccessfully voted 33 times in the last two years to eliminate Obamacare and wasted at least 88 hours and $50 million, while failing to pass a single piece of job creation legislation in the last session of Congress. Dozens of Republicans, including Mitt Romney, ran against Obamacare, yet the party suffered losses every step along the way. The Supreme Court upheld the law, House repeal efforts went nowhere in the Senate, and President Obama has pledged to veto any effort to rescind the measure. Even newly reelected Speaker John Boehner was compelled to admit in November that Obamacare is now the law of the land... Yet Republicans voted yet again, for the 34th time to repeal Obamacare.
