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.”
How does any of that "create jobs"... the DemocRATS supposed litmus test.
Wouldn’t this action require a constitutional amendment?
Not sure, I am sure some of the folks in their 80’s can verify that taxes were once collected on the local levels, then it went to states, then to the federal level..we need to strip them of this power to a place where we the people can mange it and be responsible for it..
Check small business insurance pools. You can do MUCH better.
I am on board with that.
Moron. End of story.
