Defunding ObamaCare the right prescription? #tellusatoday

We asked our followers on Twitter what they thought of the Republicans' efforts to defund ObamaCare. Comments are edited for clarity and grammar:

ObamaCare is a step in the right direction, but it is only part of the puzzle. Stop the bickering and work together.

— @tamerzmd

Defunding ObamaCare sounds like a good idea to me. Many programs are broke.

— @DixieRedRocket

Defunding is one option, but the health care law should be repealed. It should never have passed, considering nobody knew what was in it.

— @xriva

The GOP effort is stupid, a waste of taxpayers' money. The GOP tried more than 40 times to undermine ObamaCare. I am worried about the budget deadline.

— @smov656

GOP lawmakers forgot they were elected to achieve progress, not to play political games. They will be reprimanded on Election Day.

— @RafaAlcalde1

Doctors are retiring early, laying off Medicare billing staff or outright leaving the profession because of ObamaCare.

— @POPSHOTS

If the effort works, then shutting down the government will be the new standard when people don't get what they want. Temper tantrum much?

— @ellemhmkay

Stop destroying our country with GOP partisan obstructionism. Look up compromise in the dictionary!
