Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-N.Y.) is daring Republicans to make good on one of their top legislative priorities: repealing the healthcare law. ..
...Ackerman has begun circulating a letter to fellow lawmakers telling them to "Go ahead, make my day. Become a cosponsor."
"The Affordable Care Act contains these and many other foolish protections for our constituents," the letter states. "So, join other Members of Congress who want to deprive their constituents of these silly safeguards from the big insurance companies. You can cast your courageous vote on a series of SIX bills to do it. Feel free to call it the HIPA-CRIT Act when you explain your vote."
The measures would overturn six consumer protections in the new law that:
Ban health plans from rescinding coverage;
Eliminate annual coverage limits;
Eliminate lifetime limits;
Prevent plans from turning down adults with pre-existing conditions;
Prevent plans from turning down children with pre-existing conditions; and
Require that insurers offer coverage for dependents up to age 26 on family plans.

I bet the republican wimps cave
Much ado about nothing. The Republican House will not try to repeal it. That would be really be dumb. They could try to replace it, which of course would fail. However, I think they have bigger fish to fry. Since they won't be able to get any of the right wing agenda into law, without big compromises with the Senate and the administration, I think the major activity of the House will be to investigate the administration. When the House or Senate can't accomplish anything, they investigate.House Dem dares GOP on healthcare repeal

I bet they dont.
You see the majority of democrats became willing cowards and wouldnt discuss HC in town halls or the pre election season. Infact they were told to shut up about it.
While repeal may not pass. The funding will not either leaving the reason for repeal moot.
They should keep their promise and go for the repeal. Otherwise they are liars.

He didn't understand what point you were making. His mistake is thinking you were making one at all, other than showing what an idiot you are.

Umm, I wasn't making any point, you moron. If you learned to read, you'd see it was someone else's post that confused the wingnut. I only offered to assist the poor illiterate thing
But then, if you learned to read, you'd probably stop being a wingnut
They should do the other things they were promising as well:
-Privatize SSI.
-Privatize Medicare.
-Fund missile defense.
-Make the tax cuts on the wealthy, permanent.
-Investigate President Obama - As they put it..the most corrupt President in history.
-Defund Healthcare.
Gosh..that might assure them taking both houses and the Presidency in 2012.

When the Dums in the Senate block this and obama vetoes the legislation can we start talking about the Democrats as "the party of no"?

There are many plans on the table to deal with this horribly unamerican law, but it would really help a lot if certain individuals would simply drop dead.
