Papa John’s doesn’t give a ‘dime’ about health care

Although the health care law seems here to stay, some on the right have declared Friday, “Papa John’s Appreciation Day.” They promised to buy Papa John’s because the company’s right-wing CEO slammed the health care law.

>>> no matter how you slice it, a lot of republicans just can't accept the president's health care law is here to stay. some dead enders on the right declared today papa john 's appreciation day. urging conservatives to grab a slice of pizza because the company's ceo slammed the health care law . this summer, he said "obama care will cost 11 to 146 cents per pizza. mamamyia, the whole extra dime per pizza pie to get health care for everyone in america, hey, republicans, didn't you get the memo? you lost the election and the fight is over. just ask john boehner.

>> it's pretty clear that the president was re-elected. obama care is the law of the land .

>> it's happening it, and there's nothing they can do about it. right now, states are deciding how to implement a key part of the law. states can either set up exchanges for people to buy insurance or let the federal government do it for them. you think that choice would be easy for republican governors, given how much they hate the federal government .

>> we don't like when the federal government comes and shoves things down our throat.

>> sadly, the hardest part of my job continues to be this federal government .

>> i mean all the states are actually under assault by this federal government . they are under assault by this federal government .

>> so dwhae these governors decide? rick perry and his buddies are letting the feds set up their exchanges. they don't want the federal government to have any control over health care . so now they're letting the federal government have more control over health care . these republican politicians have tied themselves into knots trying to deal with the law of the land . and now they're eating some humble pizza pie . nice try. but we got you.
