What’s Obamacare? It sounds icky.
Another from our Rep.’s crack staff:
Cravaack Statement on Anniversary of Obamacare
(Washington, DC) – Today, U.S. Congressman Chip Cravaack (MN-8) released the following statement on the one year anniversary of Obamacare being signed into law:
“Today marks the one year anniversary of Obamacare being signed into law. Obamacare puts government between doctors and patients; is harmful to our job creating entrepreneurs and small business owners; and has been ruled unconstitutional in federal court. Despite broad opposition from the American people, the Obama Administration and their allies on Capitol Hill used every procedural trick in the book to ram through their nearly 3,000 page partisan health care takeover.
“Since then, report after report has shown Obamacare will cost significantly more than we were told, kill jobs, raise taxes, expand government control, and increase the cost of health care for northeast Minnesotans. In response, my colleagues and I in the House passed a simple, two-page bill to repeal this legislation and begin the process of replacing it with true reforms that will expand coverage while at the same time cutting costs to consumers. I will continue to fight against the folly of Obamacare and for common sense solutions to issues within our health care system.”

TOM COBURN (R-OK): "There will be no insurance industry left in three years." [10/12/2010] - REP.

[7/17/2009] - GLENN BECK: "This is the end of prosperity in America forever ... the end of America as you know it."

VIRGINIA FOXX (R-NC): "The Republican plan will make sure we bring down the cost of health care for all Americans and that ensures affordable access for all Americans and is pro-life because it will not put seniors in a position of being put to death by their government." [7/28/09] - SEN. TOM COBURN (R-OK): "I have a message for you: you're going to die soon...When you restrict the ability of the primary care givers in this country to do what is best for their senior patients, what you are doing is limiting their life expectancy." [12/1/09] - REP. MICHELE BACHMANN (R-MN): "Socialized medicine is the crown jewel of socialism. This will change our country forever." [11/3/2009]Les Nelson
