Thank a Democrat

[Dirk the Daring]

I made it thru security yesterday at IAH in only 13 minutes. Was not intimidated at all by the uniformed ICE personnel within the airport.

Only CULT members don't understand CONTEXT. She was talking to COUNTY Gov't officials

Then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, "We have to pass the [health care] bill so that you can find out what is in it," in March 2010 to the National Association of Counties, just before the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) was signed. She argued that passing it would allow people to understand its provisions, though it became a key talking point for critics.

Nice try…we were all alive when she said that, and it wasn’t in some speech to govt workers either. It was a direct response to a reporters questions about why democrats were trying to pass a 3,000 plus page bill, without allowing republicans to read it.

“Cult members”? Trump wasn’t even on the scene yet you moron…You people lie as easily as you drink a glass of water..

Well, now we know why we couldn’t read the bill, it was a disaster, and you dems rammed it through in the dead of night while we slept, like thieves…

Dems suck.

 

[j-mac]

Wrong.

Very true.

 

[Tyrion234]

R's have refused to consider an offer by D's to fund other dept.'s under the DHS umbrella, like TSA, but not ICE, until the WH agrees to much needed reforms for ICE.

GFY.

ICE isn’t being properly trained according to you. So why would you deny funding to them for training more cohesive to your standards?

Explains why they sat in their seats when asked to stand if they thought their job was for US citizens and not illegals.

They are all for the illegals.

I can explain them. I don't agree, but I can recite their bs about the Constitution and due process

 

[Tyrion234]

Republicans wanted additional funds for ICE MAGAT retard.

And you want more training for ICE which would require more funding……retard

 

[Cellblock2429]

Wrong.

/----/ How am I wrong, when it was democRATs who caved in?

 

[Tyrion234]

And you want more training for ICE which would require more funding……retard

Oh wait I was mistaken, you want to defund ICE that’s right

LMAOROG. GOP MADE HUNDREDS OF AMENDMENTS

For example, 788 amendments were submitted during the ACA’s markup in the Senate Committee for Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee (HELP). Three quarters of them were filed by the committee’s Republican members, according to John McDonough in his book Inside National Health Reform. Of those, 161 were adopted in whole or revised form.


But Jost added that "there was very significant Republican participation early on on the Senate side. There were dozens of hours of debate, and Republicans like Sen. Chuck Grassley on the Senate Finance Committee were very engaged."



"We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it — away from the fog of the controversy."

Context of the Statement:

• When: March 2010, during a speech to the National Association of Counties' legislative conference.

THE VID WHERE SHE SAID IT CUPCAKE

• What it meant: Pelosi was arguing that the intense controversy, media coverage, and misinformation (such as claims of "death panels") were preventing the public from understanding the actual benefits of the legislation. She believed that once the bill was passed and implemented, people would see its value away from the political fighting.

Was the ACA (Obamacare) negotiated by the Democrats in secret and did they keep Republicans out of that negotiation process on purpose?

The road to passing the ACA was not a short or easy one, especially considering that for decades prior to Obamacare others had tried to pass national health care reform legislation but failed. President Bill Clinton passed the Health Security Act in 1993, and President George W. Bush passed the Medicare Modernization Act in 2003, but those attempts at health care reform were limited.

In the end, it took President Obama 427 days[2] from the day he was inaugurated on January 20, 2009, to March 23, 2010, to get the ACA (Obamacare) passed. To try to balance the ACA’s cost, the bill contained 19 different taxes [revenue enhancements].[3]

The Senate passed H.R. 3590, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, on Dec. 24, 2009, by a vote of 60 to 39 (59 Democrats and 1 Independent voted for the bill while 39 Republicans voted against the bill, with 1 Republican not voting).

On March 21, 2010, the final House vote was 219 to 212 to approve H.R. 3590,[4] with every House Republican voting no.[5] The final vote of the 431 representatives (there were four vacant House seats at the time) included 219 Democrats voting for the bill, and 34 Democrats and 178 Republicans voting against the bill.[6]

On March 23, 2010, Obama signed the 906-page ACA into law.
