House Republicans Pass Bill That Would Take Away Health Insurance From 1 Million Workers

[link:http://www.politicususa.com/2015/01/08/house-republicans-pass-bill-health-insurance-1-million-workers.html|


House Republicans passed a bill would take away health insurance from at least 1 million workers by a vote of 252-172.

The deceptively named Save American Workers Act would do the exact opposite. According to the CBO, the Republican backed change in the ACA would cause 1 million workers to lose their private health insurance. Half of the workers impacted would not be able to get new health care coverage so that they would have no health insurance. During the debate on this bill, Republicans trotted out some familiar Obamacare lies.

Wants!

Take away their health insurance then perhaps after a few friends and family die from lack of health care they will change their mind and once again want it so perhaps by 2016 America will have pulled their head out of their arse and vote out those that would take away health care.

Then again maybe not.

I am sure a bunch of folk here don't like the tough love approach but most people are just too stupid and tough love is the only thing that will work, and that is a fact jack.
