Heard on Red Eye Radio:
A compromise that may come out the government shutdown issue:
1. Keep the exchanges open but delay the individual mandates and fines for a year.
2. Get rid of the medical device tax.
3. Allow for exemptions for religious reasons, the contraceptive mandate.
These are compromises I can live with.
But it seems like the democrats refuse to negotiate with the Republicans, even though the democrats are talking with our sworn enemies.

I have a question though: what does the Affordable Care Act have to do with the current budget? It's already law, it's already funded, it was found Constitutional, and Obama was re-elected on it. WHY is it a bargaining chip now? Are they going to hold Medicare or Social Security hostage next time? I really, really don't get the logic. WHY should they make a deal on settled law?
ReplyDeleteOf course, Jamie, if it was settled law, why does Obama keep changing it?
ReplyDeleteThey've been saying there would be tweaks, adjustments and such from the beginning.
