Obamacare Is Dead and Here's Why [Obamacare Ongoing Thread]

Town Hall ^ | 1-26-10 | Robert A. Levy

[JustPiper]

As the Massachusetts blame game unfolds, the president’s unpopular health bill leads the list. But the substantive provisions of the bill were just part of the problem. Perhaps more important, voters were appalled by how the deal unfolded.

Consider the pre-election giveaway to the labor unions. Negotiators agreed to exempt union contracts until 2018 from the tax on so-called Cadillac health-insurance plans. That backroom bargain not only outraged the voters, it also violated the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, requiring the federal government to extend equal protection of the laws to all U.S. persons. Of course, not all voters understood the constitutional nuances, but they sensed that something was very wrong; and they reacted.

I have been disturbed by the socialists for years, ever since I learned many members of Congress 'openly' joined the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America). Several years ago, the names were published on the DSA site. (since removed of course) Please post any info you have, many of you have been on this issue for many years, & if we can store it all on one thread, we have our FreeRepublic Warehouse on the enemies of the state. How DO we combat this, when it's coming at us from every angle? When the people have been asleep for decades. Please post anything you have found or accumulated. Also choose a dictator these people follow, of particular interest,those in D.C. who have been quoted with their adulation of one.

Thank You for your dedication on this, I’ve been out for a few days (wish I could be in DC this weekend!!) I don’t have a link for the Iowa Gubenatorial candidates’ (VanderPlaatz) statement as I had just heard it on the radio when I posted it.
Rush gave out the phone number of 1-877-762-8762 today for Capitol Hill...I haven’t been able to get through yet but have e-mailed and faxed!!

That looks like good news..let’s see if it pans out that way when the vote comes down. Kudos to the folks in his district for contacting him...I just wish my rep was a receptive to his his constiuents as Boswell is still looking like a ‘YES’ vote.

The truth about Massachusetts health care reform

“The dominoes started falling into place for House Democratic leaders whipping their health care overhaul Wednesday, with a slow trickle of key undecided Members announcing their support for the bill or signaling they were leaning that way,” Roll Call writes

Congress: Falling dominoes

Why health care must be passed now Politco gone whacko?!

Congressman Michael Arcuri of NY-24 is a sophomore Democratic House member who represents the district just south of NY-23. Today Arcuri went public that he is against Big Government ObamaCare.

Is Bill Owens More Liberal Than Michael Arcuri?

Much Less Access To Decent Health Care Under Obamacare

Cao ‘Hopes to Reconsider’ Vote This Weekend [Robert Costa]

Rep. Anh Cao (R., La.) tells National Review Online that he “hopes to reconsider” his vote on the health-care bill this weekend, should House Speaker Nancy Pelosi guarantee, “with certainty,” that she can fix its abortion language in a separate, later legislative measure. He says he will consult with “legislative experts” tonight and tomorrow to determine whether any Pelosi-abortion deal is valid.

Hatch Issues a Warning as Harry Reid Stays in Town [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

###

WASHINGTON – With prolife House Democrats attempting to fix portions of the Senate health care bill that allow taxpayer funding of abortion as a separate measure, U.S. Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said today that they should remember that neither the Democratic Leadership in the Senate nor the White House has given any assurances that it would secure the necessary 60 votes to pass the Senate. Hatch issued the following statement:

“Prolife Democrats in the House, who supported the Stupak amendment, are coming under intense pressure to vote for the Senate health care bill and are desperately trying to find a way to change those provisions that allow taxpayer funding of abortion.

I wish it were that easy. But to my friends in the House, who are looking to pass a fix separately, I have a regrettable piece of news: I tried to include a strict prohibition of federal dollars for elective abortion in the bill in December, but my amendment lost by a vote of 54 to 45.

Absent an ironclad guarantee from Senate Democratic Leadership and the White House, which I’ve not seen, the only way to ensure there is no taxpayer funding of abortion is to vote no on the Senate bill. I don’t know many Senate Democrats who’d go along with this.”

WIlson? Hah!
Space? Hah hah hah
Marcy Kaptur (Ohio) * (Y) Voted with leadership first time around, but doesn’t toe the party line. Wants Stupak language but that’s not a deal breaker. Voted yes during Budget Committee markup. Likely to move to lean yes category soon

Mary Jo Kilroy (Ohio) (Y) In toss-up race this November. SHe’s a Y.

[penelopesire]

YIPPIE! The democrats think that they are going to use the abortion issue to bully republican senators to vote yes when(and if)the fix it bill goes to the Senate.

We are not falling for it dingbats!!

You and Obama are on your own with this historic rape of the American people.
