Re: Oz Federal Election 2013 - Discussion and Comments
"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."
So he's saying that if the petulant childish psychopaths with a born-to-rule attitude use the leverage they have to prevent Obamacare from being properly implemented, it will be a "train wreck".
Which is an entirely different statement all together from saying "Obamacare is a train wreck".
Drawing a false equivalence like that is, as before, disingenuous at best, outright dishonest at worst.
There's nothing to negotiate about Obamacare. It's a law. The proper avenue to change it, is to have more legislation passed either changing or repealing it, not hold a metaphorical gun to the economy's metaphorical head and demand things be done the way they want.
You still haven't explained why you keep siding in favour of people who think an appropriate legislative response to a law they don't like is shutting down the Government and threatening the country with default.
Pretty sure I didn't call it one. Certainly not intentionally. I may have said it was something like universal healthcare. That's "like" as in "corresponding or agreeing in general or in some noticeable respect", or "bearing resemblance", if you want to focus on irrelevant semantics.
Let me quote the first few sentences from the article you linked to, with some relevant words that you seem to not have read, highlighted.

I said that was an example of how he was prepared to modify it.
