As they prepare to take control of the House of Representatives this week, Republican leaders are pledging a “clean” repeal of the health care law, setting the tone for the next two years.
With Democrats in control of the White House and the Senate, there is no realistic chance of a full repeal measure succeeding. Republicans, however, plan to move ahead. Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan, who will become chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, told Fox News that there would be a vote on the law before the president’s state of the union speech late this month.
But Republicans just don’t get it. Americans largely support the health care law’s key provisions, and a repeal would once again give insurance companies the right to exclude people from coverage because of preexisting conditions and would reinstate the so-called “doughnut hole” in Medicare prescription coverage.
This is foolish, but the Republican desire to press ahead with repealing the health care law only foreshadows what is to come. They’re playing for the 2012 election, no matter what the public wants, and that will lead to a greater partisan divide and less work done in Washington.
For example, Republicans are already intending to stall work in Congress. Eric Cantor, the incoming House majority leader, last month released the calendar for the House of Representatives that appears to leave little time for work.
Under the plan, members of the House will only need to be in Washington for a total of 123 workdays spread over 32 weeks. Only two of the weeks include five workdays, and the entire year’s workload is cushioned by long weekends and extended time away from Washington.
As well, Cantor has limited the time members have to be on the floor for votes so they won’t have to worry about rushing back to conduct the people’s business. Cantor said that his intention is to schedule votes no earlier than 1 p.m. nor later than 7 p.m. But on the first day of the week, voting won’t start until 6:30 p.m., giving members essentially an extra day off. And on the last day of the week, votes will end at 3 p.m. so members can take off early to get home.
So much for “working” for the people.
However, Republicans don’t intend to be totally idle. Cantor said the calendar would have time for “meaningful oversight.” That’s code for “witch hunt.”
Republican Rep. Darrell Issa, who will be the House’s chief investigator as chairman of the House oversight panel, made that clear. Last weekend he said President Barack Obama’s administration is “one of the most corrupt administrations” in history. Issa, who tried to back off a previous claim that Obama was corrupt, will have the power to subpoena administration officials and documents, and that means he’ll be able to tie up the daily workings of government, delaying progress on important issues like creating jobs and improving the economy.
Once again, the Republicans just don’t get it. The message the American people sent in November’s election is that they want government to work. Instead, Republicans plan to deny health care to people, tie up government and take time off.
What a plan.
It is clear that the Las Vegas Sun wants the Conservative to failue at the expense of what is right for America.
Both the Conservative and Obama have agreed we must live within our means and to get rid of failed programs and create an enivironment to create JOBS.
After two years Obama finally made a resolution to turn to JOBS.
Why does the Sun what Congress to fail
I am sure the "FOS" News Network will set us straight on this before the morning is over. Some good name calling will get it done. LOL
i just hope barry finally realizes that you can not negotiate or reason with children...

and slap the living s#!^ out of them!!!
We will need all the savings to fund the coming war with Mexico.
OK. Let's say we repeal Obamacare. We will still be spending 16% of GDP on health care. What will replace it?
OK. Let's say the Republicans offer no replacement. Businesses are still left with their burden of funding health care. A burden which makes it difficult for many of them to compete against foreign companies whose governments pay for health care. That leaves burden on local taxpayers for uninsured care for the poor -- and the feds for Medicaid and Medicare.
Would that be better -- or worse -- than having everyone covered by health insurance?
The GOP will always do the bidding of their corporate masters.
President Obama and Harry Reid have America's back so there's no chance to repeal but that won't stop Big Insurance and their GOP puppets from trying.
Businesses aren't left with the burdern of funding health care. Under prior and hopefully future policy, businesses always had the ability to offer zero health care, partially fund it, or completely fund it.
.
Businesses that wished the best employees possible, offer the best benefits possible. Those that simply want warm bodies, pay less and offer little in the way of benefits. But either way, it is the owner of that business who decided what would be offered.
.
Obamacare needs to be repealed. It's a farce that any bill would ever be passed without our legislators having a clear idea of it's contents.
You don't get it, he Republicans WANT TO give insurance companies the right to exclude people from coverage because of preexisting conditions and would reinstate the so-called "doughnut hole" in Medicare prescription coverage.
I am saddened by the fact that the Republicans in the House all seem to play party politics and throw bombs continually. They are now in charge and clearly demonstrate they don't know how to lead and govern. They only know attack and point fingers. It seems like Mr. Rush Limbaugh and the entire Fox News propel them into action and speak for them. The ultra right wingers have taken over and pushed any moderation out the door. They have been in the attack mode for so long, they know nothing else.
They are not even in session and the cards are on the table that they are blowing it.
I guarantee that if they take steps to repeal national health care reform (or de-fund any portion of it), then they must face the consequences. Because when something is given to the American people, something that is of extreme benefit, something that has been strived for many, many years, something that will help people...and you take it away?
Not good.
The Republicans in the House pursue this course of action, the American people will take notice. Just like elections have consequences, this carries into future elections too.
The Republicans will be committing hari kari. Just go ahead and fall on the sword now. Because if they take away national health care reform...especially the part where it is law that health care insurance firms have to spend 80 cents of every dollar paid on health care...the part where young adults up to the age of 26 can stay on their parents health coverage...and other new changes that were sorely needed to curtail an out of control health insurance industry....then there is no other alternative than they will disappear as a political party.
They continue with this hollow rhetoric and this insane course of action, the next elections will ensure they get vaporized before our eyes. The backlash will be catastrophic. And they won't recover from it. The American people can only take so much. Never be able to field a candidate nor fund raise. Complete destruction.
Mark my words.
SUN -- again, you're the ones who just "don't get it."
There's a buffet of what's wrong with Obamacare @ http://www.cato.org/search_results.php?q...
"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." -- Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, 1781-82
For the less informed, the actual name of the law is the "Affordable Care Act". The term "Obamacare" is in no way reflective of what transpired in Congress and is a term that is singularly meant to deride and belittle this administration.
Stop listening to Palin and Beck and Limbaugh and take a listen to House.gov or Senate.gov or Congress.org or the Thomas Library if you have the stomach for true information.
Of course the Teabag Party wants to get rid of President Obama's health care law. Big Insurance is their second largest campaign contributors after Big Oil.
This new pee-party laced congress wants to start off fast... Vote on something that stands NO CHANCE of ever passing and/or getting to the Presidents desk.
Trying to set a tone are you...humm..the tone is - "I can be talked into anything - just ask".. and all the pee-party automatons stand up and rose-bowl-wave to the cameras.. AND go back to accomplishing NOTHING.
Uhave2laff...
Marla, you "GET IT".
Right on, girl.
Most of the lemmings against these long overdue reforms get "the truth" from sources that MAKE UP the truth and feed it to them like so much pablum.
http://www.politicususa.com/en/fox-repea...
The biggest liars of them all, the biggest purveyors of mistruths, Fox on the box and AM Hate-Radio, are laughing all the way to the bank!
Obamacare will perish before it can destroy the U.S. Medical System. The radical dems lose the Senate and the White House in 2012.
The past November elections were just a warmup for what is coming.
Looks like the thoroughly humiliated Lady Gogo is back after her self-imposed exile following Sen. Reid's reelection victory.
As those who regularly read this comment board know, from mid-summer until the November elections Lady Gogo wrote 1000-word rants twenty times per day, going on and on about how teabagger Angle would crush Senate Majority Leader Reid and send him into retirement. However, Lady Gogo is always wrong and it was the lunatic bagger that was beaten to a bloody pulp by the still-studly former boxer, Harry Reid.
Oh well, another heckuva job by Lady Gogo. Can't wait to hear her predictions for the 2012 elections, lol.
The ACA that the reps would repeal, according to an estimate by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, would reduce the budget deficit by $143 billion over a decade.
According to the rules laid out by the incoming House Republican majority, the House must pay for all new legislation that increases federal spending - and a repeal bill, of course, is a form of legislation.
That would suggest that they must come up with $143 billion to make up for the cost of repealing the health care bill.
Lady Gogo, which deranged teabagger do you predict will beat the President in 2012?
Will it be half-term Palin or half-ton Haley? Maybe Mitt the Mormon, the permanent candidate who hypocritical GOP evangelicals secretly hate because of his religion?
C'mon Lady Gogo, look into your crystal ball. It's never too early to start being wrong all over again.
Democrats rebounding with independents,, according to Public Policy Polling.
Here's some good news for Democrats though: The early 2012 cycle polling suggests the strong reps lean of independent voters this year was more of a blip on the radar screen than a sign of things to come.
Since the election we've polled 51 different possible Senate/Governor contests for 2012 and across all those different permutations Democrats are leading by an average of 6 points.
Even though independents voted for the reps this year it doesn't mean they like the reps, the November national poll found a 17/60 approval spread for the reps in Congress with independents.
A poll we did earlier in the year found that only 18% of independents generally though the reps were going in the right direction, while 49% thought they were off on the wrong track.
Reps are going to have to show independent voters something different than they have been if they hope to win their votes again in 2012.
I didn't realize the official name was Affordable Care Act. Thanks, Marla.
You are so correct. Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and a sheer deluge of right wing hate talkers out there all love to refer to it as "Obamacare," as if using that term disparages it as something bad.
And I'm very sure that President Obama did not sign that law into effect in order to have his name on it. From every indication shown, he wants the American people to be the owners of it.
But the hits will just keep on coming. The reference to "Obamacare" will be thrown out there frequently. It kind of reminds me of the cheap shot that was used after President Obama was elected. When Rush Limbaugh and others all made sure that when they called him by name they included his middle name (Hussein) and always made sure they emphasized that...as if to insinuate he is certified to be some kind of terrorist or something.
The buzz words, catch phrases, slogans and untruths will be thrown out there more and more by the right wing hate press as the days go on. And the Republican Party follows what they say as if it were their code of conduct now.
My point in my past comment is that this is really sad to see. Because the Republicans have fought to get control of the House. Now they have it. But the problem is they don't know what to do with it, except what they have done over past years. Yell, scream, point fingers and blame everything on the Democratic Party. They are in a position to do something, but I don't see them governing and leading. All I see is whining like before like a bunch of complaining, unchaperoned children.
And if it continues, the Republican Party will self implode. Right now there is no wiggle room for the ultra righties. They are so far to the right now that they are completely and utterly unable to do anything. Because everything they put on the table don't account to a hill of beans to the American people. Yet still they scream they are doing the will of the people.
They are living in a dream world. After the next election, I am very sure they are going to be on the outside looking in. For a very, very loooooong time.
Anything is better than doing nothing"
** Inaction cost, $9trillion over the next decade, ((Some of CBO analysis : While the costs of the financial bailouts and economic stimulus bills are staggering, they are only a fraction of the coming costs from Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Over the next decade, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that each year Medicaid will expand by 7 percent, Medicare by 6 percent, and Social Security by 5 percent. These programs face a 75-year shortfall of $43 trillion--60 times greater than the gross cost of the $700 billion TARP financial bailout)).
"a completely ridiculous bill promising everything and delivering nothing but giant amounts of debt" ?
We know, the reps scared the elderly away, but Medicare patients start to relish benefits, just like VernosB pointed out :
** 1. As of January 1st:
1) Free annual wellness check-up for all Medicare Part B participants. Currently, Medicare Part B participants are allowed the wellness check-up only on enrollment and this exam is subject to deductible regulations.
2) No 'out-of-pocket' expenses for specified preventative exams for Medicare Part B participants.
3) Closing of the 'donut hole' medication gap. Requires manufacturers of brand name drugs to reduce the cost of covered drugs by 50% in 2011, increasing the deduction to 75% by 2020. Generic drug cost will be reduced in the Medicare Part D drug coverage from 7% in 2011 to 75% by 2020.
4) There will be premium surcharge for wealthy Medicare Part D participants, which will be gradually increased over the next few years.
5) The limit on income, on which participants pay a surcharge for Part B (and Part D in 2012), will not be indexed to inflation through 2019. As incomes rise due to inflation, more seniors will be subject to the surcharge.
Voluntary long-term community-living insurance:
The law will establish a voluntary insurance program for purchasing long-term community-living assistance services and supports, also known as the "CLASS Program." This will provide up to $50 daily to help individuals purchase non-medical services necessary to maintain a community residence. The program is financed through voluntary payroll deductions; unless they choose to opt out, all working adults will be enrolled in the program.
Medical 'homes' for Medicaid:
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will create a new state option that will allow some Medicaid beneficiaries to identify a provider as a "health home." Under a health home, a patient chooses a physician who then leads a medical team that manages care ranging from specialists to pharmacists; such programs are designed to engage patients in their own care and have been found to provide optimal health care. States that take up the option will receive 90 percent federal matching funds for two years to finance the program.
Medicaid chronic-disease prevention:
The new law provides a three-year grant to states to develop programs that encourage Medicaid enrollees to participate in lifestyle-improvement programs and to meet health-behavior goals.
A.)The wonderful benefits you listed & fewer choices ?
B.) Taxes will be raised to such a huge level that the country goes bankrupt with Inaction cost, $9trillion over the next decade?

"numerous large corporations are looking at dropping their health care coverage and paying the Fine"
Some large corporations might look at dropping their health care coverage and pay the Fine.
You should refrain from coercing me to buy into your hyperbole.
WOW, gogogreedy went off the deep end today.
Sorry gogo, we're keeping health care reform.
The majority of Americans want and need it.
Typical republican, I have mine, screw everyone
else.
LIVE BETTER, WORK UNION.
"Right, hsr, ?"
My prior comment.
The flip-floppers, say, the reps & Obama need to step aside.
This kind of people, so-called political animals, in my view, should wreak an irreversible havoc on a society.
"Almost EVERY Fortune 500 Compnay has investigated the difference between group coverage and dropping the coverage and paying the fine. That includes AT&T, Caterpillar...even Microsoft - one of the liberals favorite firms!"
Can you tell me the specific webpage to back up your hyperbole?
Will companies drop health coverage?
Health policy experts differ in their assessments. CNNMoney.com released documents showing that AT&T, Verizon, Deere, and Caterpillar are seriously considering the penalty option. AT&T's health care cost for its 300,000 employees is about $2.4 billion a year.
This expense would decrease to $600 million if the company stopped coverage. Caterpillar, recognizing the savings of over 70 percent was "seriously considering" the penalty option.
A recent survey of 3,700 business executives shows that 68 percent employers disagreed strongly (53 percent) or somewhat (15 percent) with the idea of paying a fine instead of providing health care benefits, whereas 32 percent would consider it strongly (14 percent) or possibly (18 percent).
Health care benefits are an important recruiting tool for skilled workers.
Due to the incessant distortions, numerous people are hurting & dying unnecessary even at this moment !
EXACTLY, hsr!!!
You have to be PSYCHOPATHIC..
What in God's name are they thinking?
The Neo-Nuts will spend the next few months NOT ON JOBS,
but on trying to do the impossible; overturn this essential bill.
It's a childish, vengeful bit of spite, and will further America's long, painful wallow in the mire.
Greedy republicans will use any scare tactic to
try and stop health care reform.
IT WON'T WORK.
ALL AMERICANS NEED HEALTH CARE.
What would Jesus say about this republican
greed?
Republicans, who want to repeal health care
reform from their fellow Americans, are the
lowest life form on the face of this earth.
These greedy republicans are sub-human.
gogogreedy, your greed is a sickness.
You need to hang your sorry head in shame.
You're an embarrassment to the human race.
GOP=GREEDY OLD PARTY.
gogogreedy only cares about himself.
These greedy republicans FOOL NO ONE.
Hey moron, Why would I need the government?
My private company provides my PRIVATE HEALTH
CARE, fool.
People like gogogreedy provide us with the best
reason that Americans need to fight for MORE
LABOR UNIONS.
Without labor unions, Americans will be living in
a third world country.
These greedy republicans already trashed our
economy by sending most of our good paying jobs
to COMMUNIST CHINA.
Greed is the only mind set for these republican
dogs.
They don't care about the American worker.
Why else are these scum-bags trying to steal
health care from their fellow Americans?
These fools have no shame.
LIVE BETTER, WORK UNION.
"you consider the fact that about 50% of corporate America would consider dropping private health care for their employees not a big deal?"
Under the previous broken system, cooperations could drop health care even without penalty.
From what you said, "you consider the fact that about 50% of corporate America would consider dropping private health care for their employees not a big deal?"
you look so worried about the future of health care.
By default, every criticism needs to come with the alterative.
Under the broken system below,
(a) Inaction cost, $9trillion over the next decade, ((Some of CBO analysis : While the costs of the financial bailouts and economic stimulus bills are staggering, they are only a fraction of the coming costs from Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Over the next decade, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that each year Medicaid will expand by 7 percent, Medicare by 6 percent, and Social Security by 5 percent. These programs face a 75-year shortfall of $43 trillion--60 times greater than the gross cost of the $700 billion TARP financial bailout)).
Under the previous broken system, health costs will skyrocket, leading to more personal, corporate, and governmental bankruptcy.
(b) The insurers set up a monopoly via consolidation violating an anti-trust law.
(c) The biggest 10 healthcare providers are driven mostly to please Wall Street and must show growing profits every three months in their reports to wall Street or their stocks values go down. So healthcare prices climb at an unreasonable rate at the expense of everyone involved.
Can you show me your best possible breakthrough ? Just return to the failed Bush policy based on trickle-down economics ? :
"If the rich aren't getting richer neither are the poor! The wealthy create companies and jobs; the more they have the more they can spend and that eventually filters down to the rest of us."
If so, can you explain to me why the U.S. economy was on the brink of complete collapse just like Lehman Brothers in 2008 ?
And the reps claimed earlier : Are you listening to people ?
(a) The vast majority of the PEOPLE wanted the public option that the House passed and a majority of the Senate favored, but it couldn't get past the Republican filibuster.
(b) The biggest concern about the economy is a job market, (according to CNN polling, voters said that unemployment is roughly twice as important as all other top issues combined.)
Can you also explain to me why the reps aren't listening to people ?
Looks as if the reps are set to drag the U.S. economy into another failed Bush era via the ransom deal, repeal of ACA.
( Looks as if the reps are Glorifying the culture of corruption as the trickle-down economics )
gogowhitesox Gee, wasn't it the EX-Speaker, Harry Reid ...MAYBE if you could get your facts straight you could play like you are smarter than everyone else . but the jumbled bs that you throw at anyone with different opinion proves your facts are your delusions ..

Gogowhitesox, I believe you to be passionately concerned about our country but I also believe you're terribly misinformed.
On January 1, 2011, a number of important provisions of the Affordable Care Act went into effect. These provisions will ensure that consumers receive the best quality care for their money by providing discounts on prescription drugs and free preventive care for seniors, reducing waste in insurance companies, and streamlining payment processes for everyone.
Improving Quality & Lowering Costs
Prescription Drug Discounts: The law will ease expenses for seniors by requiring pharmaceutical companies to provide a 50% discount on brand-name prescription drugs to seniors who reach the Medicare Part D "donut hole" coverage gap. Over the next ten years, seniors will continue to receive federal subsidies for brand-name and generic prescription drugs until the coverage gap is eliminated altogether.
Free Preventive Care for Seniors: Seniors on Medicare will begin receiving free preventive care, including free annual wellness visits and personalized prevention plans.
Improving Health Care Quality & Efficiency: A new Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation will test and study new ways of delivering care. The Center will be tasked with finding ways to improve care while bending the cost curve down for Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
Taking Care of Seniors After They Leave the Hospital: The new Community Care Transitions Program will help high-risk individuals on Medicare who receive hospital treatment avoid unnecessary readmission by connecting patients to community-based care where they live.
Holding Health Insurance Companies Accountable
Lowering the cost of health insurance premiums: Health insurance companies will be required to show that 85% of premium costs for large employer plans are spent on patient care--not on administrative costs or skyrocketing profits. For plans bought by individuals or small businesses, health insurance providers must show that 80% of premium costs are going toward care. Insurance providers that do not meet this requirement must offer rebates to consumers.
Tackling Overpayments to Big Insurance Companies and Strengthening Medicare Advantage: The law will reduce the discrepancy between what the government pays for seniors on traditional Medicare and what it pays for those on Medicare Advantage--currently the difference amounts to about $1,000 per person. Individuals currently enrolled in Medicare Advantage will continue to receive the same benefits, while Medicare Advantage plans that provide high quality care will receive bonuses.

Go ahead and call it Obamacare one more time. Apparently, the liberals have co-opted the term and decided to run with it. Obama Cares? You bet he does! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/hilary-ros...
One of the most disturbing aspects of our contemporary media culture is how they continually rewrite history, asserting things that never happened and completely ignoring the glaring stupidity and criminality of Democrats. This is why Nancy Pelosi can say that controlling the deficit is the Dem's highest priority. She can say anything. Also, America, what did the media liars and professorate do to get you to feel so deeply guilty that you've lost all power to defend yourselves against charges of "racism," or any other "ism?" Your temerity is what got a half-black, Moslem-sympathizing, Marxist, no-nothing, inept, inexperienced, arrogant and utterly false and traitorous non-American, or at least for sure UNAmerican, elected to office without any examination of his past, his associates, his opinions or his plans. The team he's brought together are busily deconstructing American Liberty as fast as they can, with blatant disregard for the will of the people or the US Constitution. In addition to the criminally produced 2000 page (plus an additional 100,000 pages of rules to come) so called health bill which is really a template for totalitarianism, the FCC is trying its best to take over the internet -- and Wikileaks informs us that the Obama administration has paid billions in payoffs to African dictators and others throughout the world to get them to sign on the Copenhagen Accords, all this against the backdrop of an oncoming Ice Age which they claim is what they predicted as "global warming." The Supreme Court was duped into declaring Co2 a "greenhouse gas (don't greenhouses make it warm? Or do they just create volatility?) and now that the Congress won't pass the Cap and Trade plan for communist redistribution of all wealth and government control of all industrial activity and fundamental life processes -- Obama and his Carbon Clan immediately switch to the EPA and start their attacks through that. This traitor and his idiot puppet AG Holder attack an American State, Arizona, in defense of an illegal invasion -- and now they've actually invited a half dozen or more Latin American countries to join in the lawsuit and weigh in on the constitutionality of our laws. The things that are going on today are beyond even the wildest conspiratorial imagination, but only because of how rapidly and shamelessly and easily they've been perpetrated. This is a criminal regime. This is a subversive regime. This is a traitorous regime -- and still it's getting cover from the malignant narcissistic co-dependents in the media and elsewhere.
I understand the motivation of dyed in the wool Commies -- they've got a mental disorder. I understand the motivation of the confederacy of thieves that populated government and Wall Street -- old fashioned greed. But what about all the rest of America that allowed itself to be duped, that voted for this man because -- because why? Because he looked like Will Smith and because all movies and television commercials of the past 5 or 6 decades have depicted those who look similar as the good guy, the kind man, the wise, the innocent, the unjustly persecuted talented one, etc. It continues. We wanted a colorblind society. Instead we got a totally race based society. Even now, after all the truth that's been shoved in the people's faces, from Acorn to BP Oil to you name it -- the African American community still supports this man as if he was OJ himself. I love black people. I'm not being sarcastic there. They are a spirit-filled race, believing in God and Jesus. That's important. That's a source of brotherhood and virtue. However, even most whose eyes have been opened in a religious sense still cling to their allegiance with Obama -- simply because he's perceived as a black man. Obviously there are notable exceptions, and many black conservatives are now stepping forth compared to recent years. But how does one explain the continuing support of the black community for Obama the Destroyer? Simple. All races are now the psychological product of decades of programming and propaganda. And few people are strong enough to see truth when they're programmed day out and day in, when their heads are full of slogans and images, bought and paid for and repetitiously advertised with our tax dollars (or tax debt.) Comrade Lenin was right. We are buying the rope with which they intend to hang us. That's just plain evil. Wake up. Even now some reader is thinking, wow, this is a racist right wing Christian rant if I ever heard one. Next thing you know this guy will be talking about victory mosque at ground zero. So any reader reacting as I suggested above -- should consider getting themselves mentally detoxed -- because the next vote they cast may be their last. Wake up. Stand up. Know your rights. Take no crap off anyone. You are the righteous ones, not them. Yeah, speak truth to power --
the actual powers not the fictional ones the left has created to train the populace all these years. We are seeing the movement of the hinge of fate. The next two years will determine the fate of the earth.
