“I Have Changed My Mind on Obamacare”

Many of you know, I am totally against Obamacare and all that it stands for. I have voiced my opinion of this topic many times. The bottom line, it is not going to get defunded or repealed, at least for now.

Even though the majority of the public doesn’t like it, even those the House of Representatives has the vote to repeal or at least defund Obamacare, there are not enough votes in the Senate to accomplish either. Even if the Senate voted to defund Obamacare, the President would veto any bill that would get to him.

Obamacare is part of this President’s legacy, even though it is a dismal legacy at best. Knowing all that, this legislation is so bad for our country, it will take a lot more public suffering and a change in many of our elected politicians to effect this change.

I applaud those elected officials that would like to see this all happen now, but it’s just not going to happen. The public will eventually figure it out and eventually send the right message to Washington.

I promise, I have not started to drink the Kool-Aid.
