Reid says the ACA could be a train wreck


Posted: May 2, 2013

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) says he shares colleagues’ concerns that the Affordable Care Act could become a “train wreck” if it’s not implemented properly.

Reid warned that people will not be able to choose health insurance plans on government health exchanges if federal authorities lack the resources to set them up and educate the public.

 “Max said unless we implement this properly it’s going to be a train wreck, and I agree with him,” Reid said, echoing a warning delivered last month by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.).

Reid warned the federal government is not spending enough money to implement the law because of Republican opposition to ObamaCare.

 “Here’s what we have now, we have the menu but we don’t have any way to get to the menu,” Reid said.

Reid made his comments during an hour-long interview on "The Rusty Humphries Show" broadcast Wednesday afternoon from Las Vegas.

implement this POC legislation - (I use the word legislation loosely). If they don't have enough money to implement it, let it wreck. That's what it is anyway, just a wreck, so let's just let it demolish itself. We'll all be better off.

Obama should have told the truth about it (sm) - Rose

in the first place, and how much it was going to cost. It's already cost millions more than he promised, and now he wants more? Just another promise made that he doesn't keep. Liar.

It's going to need to be tweaked a LOT -- - sm

mostly to remove all those crazy "contributions" made by Republicans.

I really favored a single payer plan.

I see lots of challenges with the single payer out of the mix. To me that seemed to be the foundation of the plan.

Giving Illegals The Vote: How To Wreck A CountryFeb 17, 2015

This is how a republic is wrecked. They say a nation that has no borders is no longer a nation. But for state officials who are seeing "a massive problem" of illegals voting in U.S. elections after President Obama's questionable amnesty of 5 million, it's real life, accordi ...

Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), which would mean eliminating the proposed Medicare expansion in the health reform bill, according to an official close to the negotiations.

Can Someone Tell Me WHY Democrats, Especially Reid And ObamaSep 29, 2013
are against delaying Obamacare for a year? Watching C-Span and the House has been voting on funding the government again. One part of this bill is the vote on DELAYING the healthcare law until 1/1/2015. What the heck is wrong with that? After all, Obama DELAYED certain aspects of the law until 2015.  Delaying the healthcare law does not repeal it. Delaying the healthcare law doesn't defund it. So, what's wrong with that? Obama and Reid will not negotiate. That's not how ...
