GOP To Launch New Assault On Obamacare, Planned Parenthood

Ryan's legislation targets the ACA by ordering the repeal of several key parts of the law, including the mandate for people to purchase health care, the cost-controlling Independent Payment Advisory Board, a tax on medical devices, and the so-called "Cadillac plan" tax on high-cost health insurance.

Why keep propping up a failed political party that relies now solely on lies and deception to cling to survival?

Karen Tumulty captures the current state of play with one pithy phrase: “Less than a year after a sweeping electoral triumph, Republicans are on the verge of ceasing to function as a national political party.” The New York Times adds: “they appear unable to govern themselves.”

nothing will change,and that appears to be two cycles down the road. Leadership and funding groups involved in and with our Party has not in my opinion addressed this haunting issue. Money and ground work needs to be done on the State levels and it will take major redistricting to fix this problem.

There is a ACA killer idea from the Rethugs presently being kicked around in Utah. This will have to be watched. Quietly doing a Privatizing take over of ACA using Federal Dollars and Taxes to pull it off. All of these anti ideas come from this Region.
