"This bill is a first step toward reversing the damage that Obamacare has inflicted on the American health care system," Johnson said.

Huh? So, we're reversing the damage of Obamacare by subsidizing it??? WTF?

This guy Johnson has been a turncoat ever since he got elected; real happy to get all of the Tea Party support until the election was over....

Such a move would seek to protect the GOP from political peril in the 2016 elections when Democrats would try to blame the party for stripping subsidies

And this is why the government will never get smaller. It will feed on the labor of it's citizens until it gets so fat it topples over.

The Senate's top five Republican leaders have cosponsored legislation to extend until 2017 the Obamacare insurance subsidies that may be struck down by the Supreme Court this summer.

Correction:

The Senate's top five Republican APPEASERS have cosponsored legislation to extend until 2017 the Obamacare insurance subsidies that may be struck down by the Supreme Court this summer.

This is why they worked so hard and pulled out all the stops last year to get their minions elected and reelected.

“Such a move would seek to protect the GOP from political peril in the 2016 elections when Democrats would try to blame the party for stripping subsidies”

How right you are on the statement above. What a bunch of crap. People know full well only 8 million people are on subsidies. Half of them are probably liberal moonbats anyway, and only 68% of the people FORCED into the program want the subsidies, let alone the healthcare.

It is hard to imagine a worse idea than extending illegal subsidies that harm our country and enable FedGov to compel those receiving the subsidies to buy insurance that they do not want. Those who vote for this are not on America’s side.

I hate these people (i.e., big government Republicans and Dims).

If McConnell wasn’t part and parcel of the Big Government UniParty, he would simple propose a bill that would restore the health care legislation in place prior to ObummerCare, then start making changes from there to limit federal intrusion into medicine.

Is there any question the senate must be returned to the states?

The personal interest of a few pubbies is about to solidify tyranny.

Senators must once again be isolated from popular whims.

If these rats in RINO clothing vote to extend the subsidies, why would the court even rule on the constitutionality AFTER the Congress approves them?

Isn’t that the whole argument against the legality of them in the first place, that it was by fiat not legislation?
