Editor's notes: what is most rewarding in The Hill report, below, is the fact that "repeal and replace" as regards ObamaCare is still on the table. Support for the law has dwindled to even more of a minority status than when the law was passed. And the news coming out of expanding reviews of this poorly written monstrosity is all bad.
A full 50 % of all Americans will NOT be able to keep their current doctor as Obama promised. The immediate inclusion - as promised - of children up to the age of 26, will NOT happen until 2014. Costs to corporations will be extreme - AT&T telling us that ObamaCare will cost the company 1 billion dollars; some $40 billion in increased costs were reported in the first quarter of this year, due to accounting laws that required corporations to report the passage of laws effecting the "bottom line" to their share holders - a law requiring corporations to report in the same quarter as the passage of the law. These reports came as a complete surprise to Democrat law makers --- some threatening to take these corporations to task for making these reports public. Since issuing these threats, these law makers have found that the corporate reports were required by Federal law to be public and the threats have been subsequently abandoned. Increases in the Medicare population were given a funding allocation of $5 billion, in the new law. It is now being reported that this allocation will cover no more than 250, 000 citizens when, in fact, millions will be added to Medicare roles. The funding was kept at a low level in order to make the bill appear to be cost effective. It was all a lie and a huge lie. These Democrat clowns may have cost the American taxpayer a trillion dollars in this particular lie, alone. And we are just beginning to find out what is in this bill -- jds
The Hill reports : The top two House Republicans signed onto two petitions to force votes to repeal Democrats' healthcare reform law in its entirety.
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said they had signed onto discharge petitions set to be offered by members of their conference, one of which would seek to repeal health reform in its entirety.
Boehner and Cantor said they'd back discharge petitions by Reps. Steve King (R-Iowa) and Wally Herger (R-Calif.), a method to force a vote in the House. A majority of the House — 218 members — must sign onto a discharge petition, though, to force a vote, meaning that a vote on repeal in the House would be a steep climb.
"The American people asked Congress and President Obama not to pass the massive healthcare overhaul, and they were ignored," Boehner and Cantor said in a statement. "Three months later, they remain opposed to it, worried about the consequences it is having for job creation, the national debt, and the cost and quality of their healthcare.
"The House should immediately vote on and pass legislation that would implement the will of the American people with respect to the president’s healthcare law," the pair added.
While the Republican leaders' support for the petition may well end up being symbolic, it's squarely a part of the GOP's election-year messaging against the healthcare reform. Boehner has called repealing health reform the top priority for Republicans if they should retake control of Congress this fall. . . . READ THE FULL REPORT >>>
