Republicans Switch Places with Democrats on Obamacare

When does the future switch from being a promise to a
threat?
Chuck Palahniuk (born 1965), American novelist
Politics takes
strange turns and switches when big stakes are involved , like which party will control the House and Senate in the November 2014 elections and
what President Obama’s legacy will be.
Consider the Obama administration’s decision to delay
the employer mandate until 2015 after the 2014 elections.
Obama's switch? From supporting the
mandate to delaying it. Obama decided
he would rather switch than fight, for the next 16 months at least.
Not to be
out-switched, to coin a phrase,
Republicans decided to switch their image from being Champions of Big Business, a place in
political hell where Democrats traditionally place them, to being Champions of the People, individuals who pay taxes and health care premiums.
The GOP says Obama is favoring Business
over the People by delaying the Employer Mandate, which effects businesses with
50 or more employees, but not delaying
the Individual Mandate, which effects everybody.
To highlight these
differences, the House Republicans have
scheduled two bills – one, to vote on the Employer Mandate delay, and two, to
vote on delaying the Individual Mandate.
The idea is to
flush Democratic House members out on where
they stand on these two issues – whether they believe Obamacare retards
hiring and promotes part-time work over full-time work, and whether they
believe it fair to ordinary citizens to pay the freight on Obamacare while Big
Business goes scot free
Tweet: GOP
House is switching its perceived allegiance to Big Business to support of The
People by asking members to delay the Individual Mandate.
