House GOP ‘Will Repeal Obamacare’ Tomorrow — With Growing Support From Dems

House Republicans have scheduled a repeal vote for the Affordable Care Act tomorrow and are expecting some support from across the isle.
“Every Republican will be supporting the full repeal of Obamacare tomorrow” said Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan in an interview with The Blaze. Jordan, who is also Chairman of the Republican Study Committee sounded optimistic that some democrats will be joining the 242 Republicans voting for repeal.
Jordan cited his Democratic colleague, Rep. Larry Kissell (N.C.) who has said he will break with his party leadership and Nancy Pelosi in voting to repeal the healthcare law. Jordan said he thinks “we can get some more and were working on it.”
The GOP will use the vote in tactical messaging against the bill and White House. Raising awareness on the unpopularity of the bill is one of the first priorities for the RNC this election cycle according to Chairman Reince Priebus. The GOP expects fresh Democratic opposition to the bill that will add support to that messaging.
The administration has attempted to make a victory out of the court’s decision two weeks ago, but has since strayed away from the issue and has doggedly refused to call the Individual Mandate a tax. The bill remains stubbornly unpopular with the voting public, with a recent Gallup poll showing that 46 percent of Americans think Obamacare would hurt the economy.
The congressional paper The Hill reports:
“North Carolina Reps. Mike McIntyre (D) and Kissell have both said they will support repeal. Kissell joined the Blue Dogs earlier this year amid a tough fight for reelection, and both men made headlines recently for declining to endorse Obama.
“I’ve heard from hundreds and hundreds of people from my district about their opposition to the healthcare law,” Kissell recently told The Charlotte Observer. “I voted against it originally and I will vote to repeal it.”
But several other Democrats, including Reps. Dan Boren (Okla.) and Mike Ross (Ark.), did not respond to repeated inquiries about how they will vote on Wednesday. Rep. Joe Donnelly (Ind.), who is running for the Senate, has not said how he’ll vote after supporting the law and opposing its repeal.
The Democratic leadership is whipping its members against repeal, but aides said Monday they did not have an estimate of how many will vote with Republicans.”
The hesitation and effort against repeal indicates that Democrats remain very uneasy with the issue. The passage of the bill was a juggernaut in the 2010 election when the GOP used healthcare to sweep into the House majority.
Democrats are counterattacking various Republican house members over the vote, alleging that conservatives in the house are wasting the American peoples time instead of focusing on bigger issues. “Where are the jobs?” has been a Democrat mantra used against the GOP in recent weeks leading up to the repeal vote.
Congressman Jordan emphasized that the House repeal must have Senate approval with 51 votes and the President’s signature to permanently strike down the Affordable Care Act. Rep. Jordan went on to predict the GOP will have these votes after November.
Wednesday’s vote represents the House’s 31st attempt to kill the law as a whole or in part.

Posted on July 10, 2012 at 4:50pmI pray that God works in the hearts of many democrats start to stand for what is right and stop following a “president” who is destroying this nation by creating his own fascist regime. The American people will be watching and you can bet that anyone who does not vote for the repeal will be put on notice. They will eventually fall because they continue to back a “president” who is evil.

Hey, stupid. ALL Americans “have access to healthcare”. It’s true.
Right now, every single American has access to healthcare. They always have. There’s no law, nor has there ever been a law, restricting American citizens’ access to healthcare.
I know you’re not that bright, but even you can understand something that simple.

Posted on July 10, 2012 at 5:44pmDid the math yesterday. Obamacare Fine for me would be $950 per year. Lowest cost insurance plan would be $850 per year, and wouldn’t start to cover any of my costs until I paid a $10,000 per year deductible. I’ll pay the $950 for the pleasure of NOT complying with such an infringement upon my right to engage or not engage in commerce.

Hate to tell you this, but God’s work is an act of obedience to God through personal responsibility, not through government mandates and intrusions into a person’s personal life. And what always happens, as recently reported out of England, people wind up being refused care because the government cannot afford a procedure, especially for the elderly who they will just let die.

And it is to be enforced, basically, at the barrel of a gun by the IRS. True generosity, true charity, comes from the heart of man. Being forced to give to another is just plain old coercion.

Posted on July 10, 2012 at 11:50pmTo GET OFF YOUR BUTT: A fair number of people like the pre-existing conditions (PEC) part as well as keeping their kids on their policies until age 26, but that’s about it. The vast majority hate the individual mandate. But think for a moment what a PEC is. It’s like getting into a car accident and THEN trying to insure your car to get the damage fixed. Everyone has some type of PEC, but some have more serious conditions than others. I believe it’s wrong for the govt to tell private insurance companies that they must provide coverage to people with PEC and that they provide coverage for the same price a healthy person could buy insurance for. It’s govt mandates that got us into the financial mess of 2008. Bill Clinton forced banks/lenders to provide home loans to subprime borrowers at interest rates that were very close to what a prime borrower could get. This is dumb. The more we try to fight the laws of supply and demand, the more trouble we get into. I believe we should let the free markets do what they do best, and that’s provide competition, freedom, lowest cost, and so on. For people who are unable to pay for healthcare, whether they have a PEC or not, should be able to access a barebones system such as Medicaid. The problem with this though is that we have open borders, and millions of illegal aliens and their kids take advantage of Medicaid and every other subsidy known to man. But Obamacare is a piece of trash, just like the people who rammed it down our throats

Posted on July 10, 2012 at 4:50pmIn this, Justice Roberts sent the GOP a hanging curveball. Largest tax hike in history and it has Obama’s name on it. Yes, we (conservatives) wanted it ruled unconstitutional. That would have given the Dems an extra motivation to return Obama to office so that he might be able to appoint the next SC justice or two and turn the SCOTUS to the left.
I can see no reason for a Justice of the SCOTUS to literally reword the law to make it appear constitutional. It was not before the court as a tax law, but they essentially declared it a tax law. If this is a move by Roberts to help the right in the next election, it is a very dangerous game he’s playing. That being said, the tax ruling can be used to an advantage, and it should. Tax dollars are being confiscated to pay for health insurance from those who don’t want to buy it. GOP, are you listening? Run against the new “taxer-in-chief.” Believe me, when the ruling came out, the pres and his cohort had a collective “DOH!”

“Reflecting now on the Fourth of July 2012, we have to wonder about a regime now manifesting a growing list of abuses to the fundamental nature of human worth. These abuses are put into effect by elected rulers themselves. They are accepted by many citizens who themselves are “democratic” in the classic Greek sense, that in their soul they have little principle of order.
Hence, they have no reason to object to anything on any other basis than that of personal whim or want. The term “unconstitutional” is meaningless. This situation is not a far cry from that list found in the Declaration. In describing these abuses, it read: “He (the King) has made Judges dependent on his Will alone.” “He has refused to assent to Laws.” And “He has combined with others to subject us to a Jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution.”

Posted on July 10, 2012 at 3:57pmPAUL, Lets‘ see if I can remember a few other things I’ve heard from Glenn Beck, besides suggesting that Obama may suspend elections: The value of the US dollar will collapse to almost zero, a Global Caliphate will forcibly convert the World to Islam (and subjugate or kill those who refuse) and the End Days will begin any day now, as described literally in the Book of Revelations….. Stop me if I start sounding crazy……

Posted on July 10, 2012 at 4:58pmI want to see how many Dem’s vote to repeal it.
If it’s a lot…. it will shake up their confidence and split them up.
