Obama: Health law can’t be stopped by govt. shutdown
President Obama said Friday that major parts of Obamacare will go into effect next week no matter what happens with the debate in Congress over stopgap spending, saying that should undercut Republicans’ fight.
Mr. Obama, speaking at the White House, said the health exchanges will begin running on Tuesday, making health plans available to 40 million Americans, and said there is nothing in the current spending fight that can stop that.
That’s a done deal,” he said.
This is just ghastly news Republican fanatics trying with all their might to make the United States the laughing stock of the world by forcing the Federal Government to shut down. This message must be quite a shocker to the Far Right's fanatics determined that behaving like a bull in a china shop would bring the whole thing to a screeching halt. Didn't these easily led simpletons even realize the government has been setting money aside to fund this for three years? Were they so hermetically insulated inside to the Radical Right's Media Bubble they didn't realize they couldn't stop it? (A rhetorical question if there ever was one.)
One of the GOP's Bucket Brigade.
