GOP's humiliating new predicament: Why it may have to fund the law it hates!

Republicans know that as time goes on, the constituency of new Affordable Care Act beneficiaries will grow, and eventually cross a point of no return past which “repeal,” in the sense that they’ve been promising conservatives they will “repeal Obamacare,” will become impossible. After all, Republicans are in the midst of proving how politically dangerous it is to pass laws that result in people losing their health insurance.
They understand the attraction of government benefits as well as anyone, which explains why they’re attacking the law so aggressively in the early days of its enrollment period, before coverage kicks in on Jan. 1, and while its botched rollout is preventing hundreds of thousands of people from completing applications for insurance.
If the Obama administration manages to fix Healthcare.gov pretty quickly, then the story will change after the new year and Republicans will have to undertake an awkward political reversal.
we know the republicans are rooting for failure and refusing to implement the program or expand medicare, they are denying you ACA and making the Pres.'s goof on that 5% cancellation which would not be an issue so much if they were not trying to keep you out of it's rolls.
This will become a source of unusual tension in early January when it’s time for Congress to fund the government once again. The ironic consequence of the October shutdown is that it suppressed the GOP’s appetite for brinkmanship before the Affordable Care Act had been given a chance to make such a bad first impression.
they are now shooting themselves in the foot they want to deny you but they want your vote which adds to their insanity, had they helped they would look allot less obstructive and caring but even that on second thought would not work we already know they are deceitfully and disingenuous.
