Well, the new congressional leaders showed their true colors today. Yes, they've all voted to repeal the Affordable Health Care Act in it's entirety but when offered an amendment to also commit to repealing their own health care coverage, that was voted against with a resounding NO! that reverberated throughout the chamber today. Goes to show, while they're willing to harm the masses, the poorest of the poor, the least wealthy, they are not willing to walk in their shoes.
It's okay for the American taxpayer to pay for their health care coverage, but it's not okay for the American taxpayer to help those less fortunate to have a viable health care solution. So America, we'll continue to provide our congressional members 75% of their health care premium, hopefully the Senate will defeat this repeal that has been propagated by this new congress.
They've shown that they don't care about the common people, they feel it's okay for them to continue to receive health benefits paid for by the American Taxpayers, but it's not okay for that same offering to be available to all Americans.
Thank you Representatives Boehner, Cohen and all of the new GOP members for your choice to repeal the protection to those least capable to afford it, and the repeal of the pre-existing clause, instead of a true repair of the existing program, they've said repeal first, then fix. I want to ask you, why did you not protect those portions you said you were for?
Repeal then fix? I think not, more like get rid of it and forget it.
