If You Would Just Quit Calling It Obamacare ….
Darrell Issa, the California Republican, has responded to the Democratic call for Republicans to come up with a plan to insure Americans.
Here’s the cool part: It is exactly like Obamacare.
Seriously. It’s the same damn plan.
Business Insider, certainly no liberal publication, explains that for Issa’s plan to work, it has to have the “free market” protections included under Obamacare.
So, this means that Republicans want to replace Obamacare with …. Obamacare. Except they want to name it Issacare, Boehnercare, Mitchcare, or Cruz … no, wait, nobody wants to name it that, even Republicans.
You know, they are the ones who came up with the the name Obamacare. And they better hope it tastes good when they have to eat it.
Thanks to Andrew for the heads up.
After the silliness of MItt blasting Romneycare during the campaign, I am not surprised at this!
1I will never stop calling it Obamacare. I love Obamacare!
2Didn’t we learn here at TWMDBS that it is Obamacares. That is what I use when Affordable Care Act doesn’t register in those teensy brains.
3Let’s not forget, they came up with the whole concept of Obamacare in the first place. Their precious Heritage Foundation trumpeted the cause of individual repsonsibility, because we can’t have all the Cadillac-driving Welfare Queens eating steak and crab legs on food stamps while getting free healthcare because, gosh darn it! that’s unAmerican and also against the Bible and it makes baby Jesus cry.
Oh, wait, the black President agrees?
Then ummmm, no, it’s anti-business and anti-personal freedom and communist, fascist, socialist, unAmerican and also against the Bible and makes baby Jesus cry.

This guy probably does drive a Caddie and he tells of trying to live on $4.50 a day in foodstamps.
5In other words, the Public Option. More twaddle from one of the twaddliest members of Congress.
6Like The President said last week: “In a couple of years none of the Rethuglicans will be calling it “Obamacare”!

Dangnabbit! You left out Marxist
Teddycare sounds warm and snuggly if you can erase the thin lips & reptilian eyes from your mind picture. Maybe not
8Many of the brainwashed conservative poor and middle class are beginning to see the light when they find out how reasonably they can insure themselves and their families under this law. This may be the only way to get past their prejudice against the President.
9Once again, my head is spinning.
10Wow, e platypus! I just went to a Panera Bread Cafe for the first time a week and a half ago. And then Sunday again for a weekly knitting group which I plan to frequent. I shared your link with the knitting group.
That is absolutely the coolest thing.
By the way, is your name Greek?
11What I meant was cool was that they’ve opened 4 cafes where people pay by donation. And if they don’t have money, they can volunteer an hour for a meal.
12Did you see what Jimmy Kimmel did with this on his show?

13daChipster and Bananas — and don’t forget “Nazis,” which would provide an opportunity to bring in Hitler. The fun just never ends.
