House GOP sending Obama a message on health repeal

Begin the crusade to end authoritarian, job killing, socialist BS.

WASHINGTON – Eager to show who's now in charge, the House's new Republican majority plans to vote to repeal President Barack Obama's landmark health care overhaul before he even shows up in their chamber to give his State of the Union address.

Though full repeal is a longshot — the House vote would be just the first, easiest step — they'll follow up with dozens of attempts to hack away at what they derisively call "Obamacare."

Political grandstanding to appease Tea Baggers

It would die in the Senate or get vetoed by Obama.

 

[Sallow]

This is going to be a fun couple of years.

Yea, article covers that, BUT THIS'LL help PROVE that we're serious bout the campaign promises made bout federal spending, government overreach, etc.

Obamcare has NEVER had majority approval. The public and electorate will appreciate this charge by us. Even tho we can't stop it totally, we CAN choke of funding for parts of it.

Via con Dios Boehner.

Well, defunding it will certainly be a good first step.

I'm just afraid that this will become another huge permanent government program, like SS and Medicare/Medicaide. One that 15-30 years from now, people will say "Don't touch Obamacare!" Y'know what I mean?

Republicans.....

Look what I can do.......Look at what I can do!

Total waste of time by attention whores

Interestingly, the GOP's campy fascination with HCR and their never-ending smear campaign may ultimately pave the way for a single payer system.

Remember, when you talk about "Not having majority approval," at least as many disapproved because it didn't go far enough, as disapproved because they thought it went too far.

Repealed in favor of status quo ante? Not a snowball's chance in hell. Repealed in favor of single payer? Possible, helped along by GOP fearmongering. Damned if that wouldn't be the irony of the century.

It never had majority approval? That's probably because it was weaker then the Republican alternative put up by Bob Dole during the Clinton administration when it was tried then.

The public wanted a public option..not forced private insurance.

best section of the posted article:

Supporters of the health care law have launched a "drop it or stop it" campaign, challenging Republicans who vote to repeal the overhaul to also give up the government-funded health insurance provided to members of Congress.
"These Republican members need to understand that they are going to pay a risk for taking away people's health care," said Ethan Rome, executive director of Health Care for America NOW, a coalition of the law's supporters. "It's hypocrisy, their willingness to take health care from the U.S. Congress, while they're denying it to their constituents."

 

[Oscar Wao]

The problem with the HCR is that when you really look at it, it actually HELPS the corporate insurance giants rather than HURTS them.

Mandate insurance?! Hey, the insurance companies would LOVE that!

It's basically saying "You MUST buy our product," with the government helping them dictate it.

All of these actions taken by the current administration are doing so.

The Food Safety Bill?! Think Monsanto.

The failed cap and trade bill?! Think corporations again.

CNN Poll, 43% like it and 13% say it didn't go far enough, that adds up to 56%.

Republicans say, "So?"

Who was polled?

What do they LIKE about the bill?

It's so easy to talk in broad generalizations, but when you get down to the details, we might get a different story.

the 13% probably wanted single payor.

If my memory serves, individual parts of the bill polled extraordinarily well, except the individual mandate. Unfortunately the mandate is necessary for the rest of the bill to work.

Of course the public option always polled extraordinarily well too, when it was part of the equation.

I don't think it ever covered everybody with full free medical coverage. While the Retards try to defund it, the Dems can add more programs to it.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows - for the second week in a row - that 60% favor repeal of the national health care law. This includes 46% who Strongly Favor repeal. Thirty-six percent (36%) oppose repeal of the law, with 27% who are Strongly Opposed.

Support for repeal has ranged from 50% to 63% in weekly tracking since March of last year.

Seventy-six percent (76%) of voters with health insurance now rate their coverage as good or excellent. Only four percent (4%) describe it as poor.

Looks like status quo is lookin good. Wake up dude, the suicidal socialism you speak of will very likely NEVER happen here.

Try moving to France, or Germany, etc. You'll be happier there probably, and won't be called out, exposed as liar, and pwned in debates like this either.

So much for keeping the fat cats in check.

This mandate thing is like a blessing from the Lord for them.

#1, Rasmussen is a joke.

#2, those who want it repealed, want it replaced with something else; Not just repealed and reverted. That would just be stupid.
