Pelosi Statement on Republican Bill to Repeal Health Reform
For Immediate Release
01/03/2011

Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today after the incoming House Republican leadership posted their legislation to repeal the Affordable Care Act:

“As we begin the 112th Congress, the number one priority of House Democrats will continue to be putting Americans to work. Each new proposal will be measured by a simple test: does it create jobs? Does it strengthen America’s middle class? And does it reduce the deficit? When our Republican colleagues put forward solutions to the problems facing Americans that meet these tests, they will find in Democrats a willing partner.

“Instead of joining Democrats in our efforts for job creation, Republicans are planning to put insurance companies back in charge by repealing patient’s rights.

“House Democrats will fight to ensure that children with pre-existing conditions continue to get coverage; that young people can stay on their parents’ plans until age 26; that pregnant women and breast cancer survivors can no longer be thrown off the rolls; and that seniors do not pay higher drug prices.”

NOW they’re worried about the deficit? Nonsense.

Ms. Pelosi can’t count. Simple as that.

I’d bet the house that Pelosi has paid for a stranger’s healthcare costs, voluntarily, exactly as many times as she’s been to the moon.

Yet they, the left, think it’s “moral” to put a gun to everyone else’s head to force them to pay for a stranger’s healthcare.

In the past this might have worked but the electorate was engaged this last 2 years. They will not forget the Dems and how they lied, tried, applied, fried our rights.
At least thats what I hope.

Republicans MUST explain why they are repealing the Health Care.

“House Democrats will fight to ensure that children with pre-existing conditions continue to get coverage; that young people can stay on their parents’ plans until age 26; that pregnant women and breast cancer survivors can no longer be thrown off the rolls; and that seniors do not pay higher drug prices.”

So what if the Republicans offered up a bill including these things but repealing everything else? Do you think she would go for it then?

Don't really know why she's all upset - she's exempt from Commicare™.

Jobs? The Democrats were AWOL on jobs the last two years they had the majority. Speaker Pelosi will be histoire Wednesday.

Oh, so that's why they changed their minds on the death panels - so
seniors wouldn't be burdened with the inevitable cost increases.

“that pregnant women and breast cancer survivors can no longer be thrown off the rolls; and that seniors do not pay higher drug prices.”

And, at the same time, push policies that prevent development and/or approval of new therapies, take away FDA approval for expensive breast cancer therapies like Avastin, and decimate medicare. She's such a witch.

Healthcare, education, and energy control

are the three legs of the totalitarian “stool”.

They want total control of our lives.

Well... this is her parting shot... she can do squat to stop the conservative agenda from moving out of the House. Dingy Harry will be hard pressed to maintain a firewall against it.

Let’s just hope we never hear from that awful harridan again!

Nancy’s botox treatments will meet the ultimate challenge. Can she survive the nexrt two years without her face cracking? Worth watching.

I am so NOT feeling guilty about the thousands of lost IRS agents that won’t get hired to enforce Obamacare.

Pelosi is stuck out on thin ice, its breaking all around her and everyone is tossing a line to her.

But nobody is holding on to the other end.

I’m ready to buy a split of champagne for the moment she has to hand the gavel to Boehner, just for shits and giggles.

Who’s with me on this?

LOL

very interesting, considering that BCBS partners and other health insurance companies are now busily WHACKING JOBS in order to comply with their caps on administrative costs.

And let’s not forget state-funded abortions for all those expensive pregnant women. See, the new healthcare law saves money. How about all those Grandmas and grandpas that should have died years ago...
