John Boehner, Mitch McConnell vow to kill Obamacare
Politico ^ | November 6, 2014 | By JONATHAN TOPAZ

House Speaker John Boehner and incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, outlining their legislative vision for the last two years of Barack Obama’s presidency, are vowing to try to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

The Republican House speaker from Ohio and incoming Senate majority leader from Kentucky noted that a commitment to creating jobs “means renewing our commitment to repeal Obamacare, which is hurting the job market along with Americans’ health care.” The ACA remains a politically divisive issue, and further attempts at repeal would surely be met with significant Democratic opposition and a White House veto.

In 1980 a million dollar major medical policy from Mutual of Omaha with a 100 deductible and 80% to 5,000 and 100% over 5K to a million was about 22-23 bucks for a male 25 and under and about $32 for a female same age, 26-34 was around 29 for a male and about 38-42 for a female. Now that was no drugs or maternity bennies.

McConnell has promised many contradictory things about obamacare. His main intent seems to be to get along smoothly with Obama. That does not portend well. I think that if McConnell is elected to be the majority leader the Republican Senators will be showing that they are simply not serious and we cannot expect anything useful from then.

Whatever.

At the first whisper of dissent from the left, the two biggest whiners in the GOP are going to pee their pants and then take it in the ass... just like always.

Mega-star----Sen-elect Joni Ernst (R-Iowa)---ran the TV ad “Give Me a Shot,” pledging that when she gets ObamaCare in her sights, “she’s going to unload.”

Taking aim at ObamaCare also helped GOP candidates win in Georgia, Arkansas, Colorado, Montana, South Dakota and West Virginia.

Believe it when you see it. These two are gutless, IMO.

Don't vow to try, vow to repeal.

The 2015 rate increases have not been announced.

And a month from now, people will know if their health plans are being cancelled.

Those two events could help seal the fate of Obamacare.

So that means they won’t fund it anymore like they’ve done every time so far?

After all, the shutdown didn’t hurt Republicans.

I thought McConnell specially said he wasn’t

He said he was going to kill it during the campaign. Then he said he wasn't going to kill it after the election. Now he's back to killing it? How do we know what McConnell statement is the right one.

It's been around for years.

Yes, the ever popular "common sense, free-market alternative that put patients first, and health care decisions back in the hands of each of us rather than Washington bureaucrats." How exactly is that going to work?

Wait until the new price increases start showing up. Remember, Odinga requested the insurance companies not disclose until after the election.

Is that a real photo or was it photoshopped?

I believe it to be real (found online) and vague memory of seeing it around the time of the “shutdown”. I did not photoshop it.

To the tune of signs, signs...

“Words, words,
Everywhere are words,
Blocking out intelligence,
Political blurbs,
Trust me, don’t trust them,
Can’t believe the words...”
