Democrats Own Obamacare

National Review:

Nothing is free in politics, but there is some question when you pay the price.

 

That’s been a saying of mine for many years, though I may have unconsciously plagiarized it from someone else. I think it applies to Obamacare.

 

My American Enterprise Institute colleague Norman Ornstein has been shellacking Republicans for trying to undercut the implementation of the Obama health-care legislation. He calls it “simply unacceptable, even contemptible.”

 

 

He points out that Republicans in the past haven’t tried to undercut or derail major legislation of this sort.

That’s correct, as a matter of history. You won’t find any concerted drive to repeal and replace Social Security after it was enacted in 1935 or Medicare after it was passed in 1965. In contrast, Republicans proclaim they want to repeal and replace Obamacare.

They don’t agree on tactics. Some Republicans want to vote to defund Obamacare spending while continuing to fund the government otherwise. Others argue that would be a futile gesture and politically damaging.
