Republican lawmakers who pushed the government shutdown to stop ObamaCare say their new plan is to sit back and watch the law self-destruct.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and other Tea Party allies of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) say the threat of a shutdown is no longer necessary to defund the Affordable Care Act (ACA) now that the administration’s rollout is flailing.
Tea Party-affiliated lawmakers are coming around to the leadership view that it makes little sense to create another standoff over the healthcare law.
“It doesn’t make a whole of sense to push another big showdown over ObamaCare with the CR because we think that’s going to happen organically,” said a conservative Senate aide. LINK
What do they mean, "coming around to the leadership view?" Half those people have been running around trying to "improve" this turd in some way, shape or form.
WHY would we want to fix this blatant socialistic power grab? I agree, LET IT DIE ON ITS OWN. The Rats own it!

I dont think they were "really" trying to fix it. I think they "knew" that their methods would fail and just went thru the motions to make it look like they were trying to do something, so they didnt look bad...or, they could say..we tried to fix it. I also think they should just let it die on its own. (although, this waiting kills ya).
What I wonder about is what are these people who have lost insurance supposed to do now? I know if I wasnt covered, I sure wouldnt want to be sitting around waiting for some website to work. In this day and age..most people over 40 are on one kind of drug or another..and todays drugs are expensive. People cant pay full price for these out of sight priced drugs..like this cholesterol meds. I hope this damned thing blows up before I lose mine..because I sure am NOT using some buggy website to buy this crappy insurance at the prices they are offering.

The Upton Bill was never a fix. That's just the talking points some people used a bait. That's also why Obama announced his illegal fix...to throw peope off
Obama will veto it and it and the collapse will continue. If he doesn't the dismantling begins. Win win
