Republicans Introduce ‘Repeal of ObamaCare Act’

Republicans Introduce Repeal of ObamaCare Act

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has introduced a bill to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a.k.a. ObamaCare, and health care-related provisions in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. The GOP proposal argues that Americans would like to keep their current health care coverage if they like it, and that under ObamaCare; Medicare is cut by more than one-half trillion dollars over 10 years and taxes increase by over $800 billion dollars, health care costs do not go down, the legislation creates a new entitlement program, as well as several other concerns.

“The path to patient-centered care and lower costs for all Americans must begin with a full repeal of the law,” the bill reads.

The Hill notes that the House is expected to vote on the bill Wednesday, July 11, and the House Rules Committee has set a Monday evening meeting to approve a rule for the bill. The bill is expected to pass in the GOP-controlled House, but die in the Democrat-controlled Senate.

The Supreme Court ruled last week that ObamaCare and it’s controversial “individual mandate” is constitutional under the taxing power,

      So @ Red how prepared and thrilled are you to pay more in taxes? And before you screech that I won’t have to pay because I have insurance… you may want to study up on the ins and outs of the 2700 pages along with the thousands of regulations yet to be written that will eliminate your current plan and will also (by design) eliminate all private insurance. Remember the idea is to force a single payor, gov’t controlled program.

      And again, I caution, read the bill (I did) every other line begins, The secretary along with the program admin will determine……

      How comforting is that? The gov’t deciding whether the ROI (return on investment) for your care is worth it? Exactly how valuable are you…. I don’t know but if I am the admin or the secretary, I think I will deem you hardly worth it…. but….but…. I hear you – sorry.

      Again here is the difference between leftists and conservatives – even your miserable life is worth preserving to us.

      Care to take your chances with the left?

      First of all, yeah I would actually be happy paying higher taxes, cause we need to pay down the debt and our expectations for value are completely warped, but thats a nother discussion

      Also, actually I have read up on the ACA and guess what? It doesn’t do any of that “eliminate your current plan and force a single payer.” I actually have read what is and isn’t in the law, and you just spat a bunch of lies in your comment.

      Your not protecting anyones life, your not a heroic patriot, and the govt is not calculating a return on investment on anyones life. I actually have read those 2700 pages, and I know you either a) have not read it, or b) have read it and choose to lie to people

      @reddenblack it raises taxes and cripples small buisness and investment income through higher taxes and with new rules and restrictions on private insurance it insidiously erodes the private insurance market and less choice and Medicaid rolls increased by 300%. So when you pinch at both ends you get a single payer turd by default.

    Why do the Repubs have to replace this with anything? Why should the Fed Gov’t be involved at all?

    Here’s a thought, you want something, petition your state legislature for it and leave the rest of us alone.

    I realize we have all been “nudged” into believing that the Fed Gov’t is the end all, be all solution but that is WRONG. The Fed Gov’t is the problem.

    Why do we have comprehensive health insurance anyway? Because it was an enticement for hiring when there was a dearth of workers. That was the free market dictating something.

    What then happend, unions and the Fed Gov’t stuck their noses in and started to regulate and mandate. Then what happened, costs soared.

    The Fed Gov’t (and any abolute power) can never leave well enough alone.

    Well, the time has long passed where we need to be once again These United States rather than The United States and we put a muzzle on the Fed Gov’t.

    The first step is to get rid of Obama and as many demonrats (as far down the ballot) as possible in this go round – not only to send a loud message that we strongly reject socialism, but for those left behind (think RINOS) – you are next.

    It is going to take several election cycles and much wailing and gnashing of teeth. We must do it and we must not be discouraged and we must be realistic and take the gains where we can find them.

      The only thing that I can think of that the Republicans should do that in any way looks like a replacement. Is to use that Interstate Commerce Clause and open all of the states’ borders to allow health insurance to compete freely. Then step back and allow the market to correct itself. That will be a great start at bringing down the costs. Then start repealing law after law that interferes and increases our financial burdens.

      @ Granny – I beg to differ – the root of all our financial problems is in social issues. What is Social Security or Medicare but a social issue regarding who is responsible for the care of the elderly?

      When a society abandons the Bible, the commandment concerning honoring your father and mother goes by the way side – so your chuldren and grandchildren no longer understand their obligation to take care of you and then abandon you to be taken care of by the rest of us. Here is a news flash, we really don’t care about you and since your kids and grandchuldren have no compunction to, they don’t care about you either. So where do you suppose that leaves you?

      And since another big social issue is abortion, guess what, the future workers who are required to maintain the ponzi scheme of your social secuirty and medicare do not exist because they have been aborted.

      And as for homosexual perversion, guess what happens to earning potential of future tax payers raised without the benfit of a commited Mother and Father? Or kids raised in single mother households. Or kids raised in homosexual households?

      They do not fair as well, finiancially or emotionally as those raised in a traditionaly heterosexual married household.

      I have run out of room. The point is, everything is a social issue. Our financial troubles in this country are directly related to our failure to put social obligations in their rightful place.

      “individual mandates.”

      ANDREWS: Yes.

      MATTHEWS: Republican support for a health care mandate has its roots in a proposal by the conservative Heritage Foundation that was meant as an alternative to the single-payer or the Canadian-style system.

      The Heritage Foundation‘s plan said, “All heads of households would be required by law to obtain at least a basic health plan specified by Congress.”

In fact I was in Germany without internet access. Sort of scares me now considering if they were considering such a thing even shortly before Hillary kick her abomination off. Thanks for that link.

The voters really do need to make this Jurassic era left overs become politically extinct in upcoming elections.

      Mitt Romney supported a mandate in MA. However, a state is totally different from a Federal take over of 1/6th of our economy. SCOTUS ruling is that the so called mandate is a tax, which it is and collected by the IRS. The Mandate would NOT have been constitutional if under the Commerce Clause. Frankly, as far as I am concerned the entire law should have been tossed, because it is a total nightmare. Now as to the others on the list, they did NOT vote for Obamacare. No Republican did.

      No, I don’t know who his opponents are. What I said is that I can‘t believe that the Commonwealth can’t come up with a better alternative. Virginia is the home of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and many many other patriots. Now in the 21st century all we can come up with is Cantor? That is very difficult for me to believe.

      Yes, I’m sure that I would like to see him defeated. This latest grandstand play (the subject of the article) just confirms my decision. I’m tired of politicians. I want leaders. Eric Cantor does not fit my description of a leader. He does what the party tells him to do. In short he is a shill. Not significantly different from Debbie Wasserman-Schultz on the other side of the aisle.

      I‘m painfully aware of how long it’s taken to get to where we are and I’m sick of voting for the lesser of two evils. My “grand plan”, if that is what you want to call it, is to heed the advice that George Washington offered us in his farewell address. Specifically his warning concerning the dangers of political parties to the government and country as a whole. Our ancestors should have heeded the warning then, but they didn’t. We should heed it now. We need to forget party loyalty and vote for the candidate who most represents our vision for the Republic. If that makes me a part of the problem then so be it.

The Republicans should introduce a series of single-issue bills for each of the replacement actions they plan on implementing. Show the people what they can expect from a Romney Presidency and a Republican House and Senate. It doesn’t matter if the bills never get through the Senate. The Republicans must show what they are planning to do and also demonstrate that the Democrats are blocking it from happening.

Obama was in collusion with “big insurance” when Obamacare was written, so blame him for whatever you imagine to be a problem. Besides, insur. co’s deny fewer claims than do Medicare or Medicaid – plus its easier to appeal a co‘s decision than it is to appeal the gov’t. Wake up, girl.
