DeMint to Introduce Bill to Repeal ObamaCare
March 21, 2010 - WASHINGTON, D.C - Today, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) announced that he will introduce legislation this week to repeal President Obama's government takeover of health care. House Democrats voted this evening to pass the Senate version of the health care bill and it will likely be signed into law by President Obama later this week.
"This bill is unconstitutional and it cannot be fixed. It must be repealed," said Senator DeMint. "The battle for health care freedom is not over and I will introduce legislation this week to repeal this health care takeover.
"Unless this trillion-dollar assault on our freedoms is repealed, it will force Americans to purchase Washington-approved health plans or face stiff penalties. It will fund abortions, raise taxes and insurance premiums, while reducing health care choices and quality."
"This arrogant power grab proves that the President and his party care more about government control than the will of the American people. Americans told Washington to keep its hands off their health care in opinion polls, at public protests, and at the ballot box, but their pleas were ignored.
"If the President and Democrats were serious about true health care reform, there were many free-market solutions we could have easily passed. Americans support commonsense reforms such as purchasing coverage across state lines, stopping frivolous medical lawsuits, and giving the same tax breaks to Americans who don't get their insurance at work. Unfortunately, Democrats refused to listen."
The bill passed in the House today raids $52 billion from Social Security, cuts nearly $500 billion from Medicare, and doesn’t account for the hundreds of billions Congress must pass to pay doctors who treat elderly patients.

Just like on the word processor. I like it.
Millions of government bureaucrats see light at the end of the tunnel, and are quite optimistic about the future!!
The F U was directed at the very idea of doing anything other than what is actually called for.
It is no longer time to talk, debate or pass further BS laws. The time is to forcefully remove ourselves from the purview of the M’er F’ers in government and the tyranny of this GD union.
Not that I know of...
Now THERE’s an IDEA!! Are you listening, Republican House and Senate members?? Use the DEEM and PASS on this!!
As I said, we need a leader to step out onto the national stage. It ain’t gonna’ be Beck, Rush or Palin. I don’t know where he or she will come from but it needs to be someone with guts and know we have his or her back.
Any Birther? Please do something about it!
you beat me buy 12 seconds! LOL
Sotomayor is in. Stevens is 89 and has not appointed clerks and Ginsberg has pancreatic cancer.
Spoken like a true defeatist. You don’t know Stevens and Ginsburg will be replaced by November. Maybe they will, maybe they won’t. In any event, there is an election coming, or didn’t you know that?
And where are you planning on going to?
“Can we dispense with this goofy symbolism for once?”
Couldn’t agree more.
Anyone who lives in reality knows Stevens is retiring and Ginsberg is very ill. Wanna bet some $$$ I’m wrong?
“Odds of that will be a lot higher Jan 20, 2011, that’s for sure.”
True. Irrelevant, but true.
What does he mean it can’t be fixed. Of course, it can be fixed.
Any new Bill should have “Abolish the IRS” attached to it.
Make Hussain hire his Brown Shirts in the light of day.
TT
Double ditto. This is an absurd waste of time. Our nation has been overrun by socialists, and all DeMint can do is some impotent grandstanding?
Would you stop it already.
you are just reminding some that they sat at home or voted third party and equally responsible for Obama and his appointing more Left Wing Justices not to mention his
Left wing agenda.
You are making them feel uncomfortable
