Well, this does not include REAL reform whatsoever in it, it is a 1-1/2 page piece of nothing that just calls to repeal the original in it’s entirety, so if this does pass, which I truly doubt, the pre-existing clause will be repealed, the ability to insure your children until age 25 will be repealed, the lifetime cap will be re-instated, and you know the GOP will not do one single solitary thing in regards to reforming health care they had 4 years during Clinton admin, and 6 years during Bush and didn’t do anything then, so what makes you think they’ll do anything now?

So go ahead and continue to believe that the GOP is for everyone, they aren’t and never have been, they are only for those who can line their pockets the best.

Please. Republicans attack people all the time. Personal bias tends to lead people to believe their side is the “good” one, therefore ignoring poor behavior.

Geez… it wasn’t that long ago we had a rabid Glenn Beck fan get into a shootout with the police on his way to try and gun down as many people as he could at the Tides Foundation.

This is not a defense of Democrats, or even an attack on Republicans. The point is, if you’re going to make an argument, don’t make a clearly false one.

Well I’d be happy if the bill is repealed. I personally will be harmed by the health care bill because I can not afford to buy health insurance. Hey maybe when this bill is repealed, all the people who were fired from Sallie Mae(remember the bill also put student loans directly under govt control) will be rehired. Oh or maybe AARP which said that they would no longer offer health coverage to their employees because the health care bill raised the price of health insurance too much will be able to give them coverage again.

I think it’s a good to give it a shot. I doubt it will pass but what it will do is give insight into which members of the house and senate are willing to replace this current bill. I want to see a new health care bill with REAL reform that will not cripple the economy.

You don’t call what the GOP call the Health Care Reform Bill “Obamacare” attacking the person? Please!!! Give me a break! The GOP now stands for “Greed Over Poverty”

faheem2774 01/13/2011 3:27pm

I too would want more reform, but dismantling this bill (which does include many Republican ideas) is not the solution. If you do not like portions, then legislate – don’t repeal and tell me that this is what we the people want.

Snexas 01/31/2011 10:21am

The name of this bill makes me laugh. What’s next the Repeal of Baby Kill Act and the Democrats Suck Act? It’s Republican fear mongering at their best.

If you can not afford it YOU will be eligible for a premium subsidy. This is the beauty of the plan it would help 32 million who are currently shut out of the system to get coverage. Republicans are not happy because the affluent ones (those who make more $250,000 would pay an additional 3.8% tax on their investment income. I wonder how much our congressional representative make? Does the tax effect them?

I can go on actually. Btw republicans put forth multiple proposals they were ignored. Oh and… btw how many lobbyists are the democrats currently in bed with? How many mega corporations? Remember the health care bill puts a LOT of stress on small businesses that can’t possibly afford the mandates set forth, ask most small business owners, they’ll agree. Most of the bills passed by democrats protect two groups, the absolute poorest and the absolute richest. They destroy the middle and upper middle class.

The 112Th Congress is proving by their actions thus far,that they will be the most egregious legislative body ever to be seated in the Peoples’ House. Their total lack of respect for the health and well being of this nation is shameful to say the least.
The Government of the United States has grown for a reason, to serve it’s large population and the growing needs of today’s society. Anyone who thinks otherwise is in my opinion an anarchist and shouldn’t be part of a government that they so despise.
A final word for all those that repeat the same talking points over and over. I have one of my own to add: The United states Of America is not a business, it is a Nation. And wanting to preserve the social net doesn’t make us all Socialists, it makes us humane.

Government is too BIG please clean it up and repeal this horrible bill and the tax revisions in it.

I think this bill is important in positioning candidates for the 2012 elections. The Senate races will be critical in 2012 and many more democrats will be vulnerable this time around and might tip power toward small-government candidates. I’ll even support a small-government Democrat over a big-government Republican.

I support repeal as a first step and then reducing regulation such as opening the markets to out of state carriers. And tax-breaks for individuals like tax-free health-savings accounts would also help. Free market solutions will win in the end.

Well, from what I’ve seen, the Conservatives attack ideas and the Democrats attack the person.
Democrats ideas and philosophies simply don’t hold up to real debate, which is what Conservatives want. So the Democrats attack the person’s character, families, decisions, etc. and not truthfully either. Look at last weekend’s AZ shooting. Perfect example of Democrats taking advantage of a crisis to spread ugly lies about the Conservatives.

Dear Dankat – you don’t tune in too often, do you? Conservatives have ideas and philosophies? You mean other than fiscal? If you name one, you will surprise even your local Congressman, if he or she is a Republican. They have only said no to all Demoratic ideas, but replaced them with none. DId you listen to Boehner yesterday? They didn’t have to be in a hurry to rewrite the legislation . . . because frankly, they don’t have any intention of replacing it. they just want the power back. Anyway, respectfully . . .

Don’t forget how the Republicans did try to bring forth their ideas. Obama would have nothing to do with their ideas. The liberals did this behind closed doors without letting the Republicans take part.
Also, don’t forget that this was about more than providing health care to everyone. It was and always will be about greater government control over our lives. That is why the liberals didn’t care that the bill was so ridiculous and badly done. They got the control and that is what mattered.

Nope, usually it’s the democrats that are the outright violent ones.

This is a LOUD shout over the bow of the Obama administration.

It will start by letting everyone know that this law is NOT what the people asked for by passing repeal in the House.

Next, parts of it that require funding will not get that funding.
Remember, the House controls the purse strings.

In the next couple of years, the house will propose alternate bills that
will keep the good stuff in this law, remove the bad, and add more stuff like tort reform.

And finally in 2013 after Obama has left, the repeal will be sent forward again and remove this monstrosity from our midst.

The point of this bill is not reform – it is only repeal. Simple, quick, efficient. Get the mess cleaned up first, then move for some proper reforms.

meadowj 01/20/2011 10:26am

Just—- elected officials doing what they were voted to do. “Stop the ever expanding government”. The repeal will not be successful but it will let the electorate know who needs to voted out in 2012.(If we could see the representatives that voted no)Why is it that the Aye button works for those that voted for the bill yet the nay button does not work? Choke the finances and work on other reductions.
Yes we need to fix a lot of things with health care but as the people requested such as work on things that can help without socializing the country and ruining the best health care in the world.

You mean when they came together in the bipartisan committee with the President and all they did was lift that 2000+ page bill up and complain not offering anything to solve it? And the president kept asking them to give him REAL proposals with REAL facts?

Obamacare has to be repealed. It dose nothing about the cost of health care! Health Insurance is from the Insurance industry. Health Care is from the Health Care industry. Two differant Industries. The cost of health care is what I pay when I go to the doc. or hospital. Insurance is money I would be giving away.

Makes it more affordable? Health insurance and health care costs already have risen because of this bill. Just ask the employees of AARP who lost their health insurance coverage because AARP could no longer afford to pay for it with the increased cost. Think about it “medical device” manufacturers now have to pay a new tax on all devices. How does that cut costs? As for leeching off the rest of us, my family loses a LOT of money to taxes each year. Why don’t the rest of YOU stop leeching off of US?
