Silly Republicans, shutting down the government does not delay or defund the Affordable Care Act, aka "Obamacare".

The Health Insurance Marketplace opened right on time yesterday.

After 42 failed attempts to repeal "Obamacare" we come to this.

Has the GOP forgotten that their candidate in the last presidential election ran on the promise to "repeal and replace".


Romney lost and he lost badly. Why? Because the majority of Americans recognize that the American health care system is hopelessly broken and must be reformed. The ACA, aka "Obamacare" is a small step in the right direction. Passed by the house and the senate, signed into law by the president and vetted by the Supreme Court, face it, the ACA is good for America and it is here to stay.

As Republican Senator Jeff Flake told AFP: "It was never realistic to tie Obamacare to government funding. I don't think it ends well for us."
