Should have never been in there in the first place. Maybe folks will catch on. Obamacare is nothing more than the creation of a new kitty to steal from.
They had to pass the bill to see what was in it.
In a normal world, this would make voters question the sanity of their representatives. We’re no longer in a normal world.
Stupid Party strikes again. Already agreeing to modify obamacare. Kenyancare is a package deal. Let them eat cake and deal with it.
The only reason any rats voted against it is because the big medical outfits are in democrat states.
You Democrats voted for Obamacare - now live with the consequences.
I'm sure the fact that so many medical device manufacturers are located in that area of the country is strictly a coincidence.
Republicans, if they gave a damn, would have voted “present”.
BS... they’re covering their asses for next year. They’re down with Obamacare 100% and aren’t fooling anyone.
Gosh, did they vote for the bill in the first place? Hypocrites.
The number of Dems who voted for it means nothing.
Attach the same amendment to the House budget, and every one of them will vote against it.
Hitting home in their districts I see. Maybe they should have spent more time reading bills and less time being gorilla’d by that witch Pelosi and her minions.
Put down the pens, boys and girls, you aren’t getting paid by the page.
This was originally called the Q-tip law because the first draft of it would have taxed even Q-tips. They modified it to only affect items above $100 and so people would quit calling it that. No idea what state it was in when it finally passed, just knew it was going to have a very negative impact on medical device research.
Just more stupidity or evil (take your pick) from the Democrats and the moron Big Government Republicans that voted for it.
Follow the money. It would be interesting to find out what legislators have investments in which medical device companies.
Even if this vote passed, how could it stand?
There was no severability clause in ObamaCare.
To little? No.
To late? For the 60 or so folks that were laid off by the medical manufacturing company for whom I work... yeah.
Morons for not seeing this coming.
Most disabled people I know voted liberal Democrat and talk about their love for Obamacare.
Let them choke on it with the rest of us....
ObamaCare in a nutshell - making health care more expensive, driving more people into doctor’s offices, and providing financial incentives for insured patients to demand more costly prescription drugs from their doctors. No wonder they had to pass it in the middle of the night! And no wonder the drug companies were big supporters of this piece of excrement.
“I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.”
Needs repeating often.
