The GOP House (which has a majority of House seats even though the DEMS got more votes for Congress in 2012) isn't interested in anything other than destroying affordable healthcare for working and poor Americans.

Obama ran on Obamacare in 2012. He won the election. Its going to be implemented. And once implemented, good luck trying to repeal it (because then the GOP will have to replace it with something that actually works for working and middle class Americans).

I don't recall any negotiations or debates on CSPAN. What I do remember is a locked door with only liberals behind it carving out a healthcare plan. Why, if Obama had a super majority, would he negotiate? He would only stand to lose stuff he didn't need to lose.

Compromise requires give and take.

What has Obama offered to give?
