The White House and congressional Democrats are balking at the idea, floated by House Speaker John Boehner on Wednesday, that changes to the president's signature health care law should be on the table during lame-duck talks over taxes and the deficit.
An administration official told The Huffington Post that the president would oppose involving the Affordable Care Act in the negotiations taking place to stave off the so-called "fiscal cliff." A top Senate Democratic aide called the idea "absolutely" a non-starter.
Happy Thanksgiving friends! Remind the media, like HufPo, that it's called " The Affordable Healthcare Act", NOT OBAMACARE! When the media gets sucked into the GOP word game they unwittingly support the misleading fact game that they play. Americans need clear talk and investigation on what is really happening to be able to understand what is really going on. Let's all support the new President and help him get his job done. And, that means moving forward with The Affordable Healthcare Act and all of the other imporant initiatives, like education and arts and more transparency for the people.
