Iowa Congressman Steve King reminded the world Thursday how much he dislike’s the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as “Obamacare.”
“I was for repealing and defunding Obamacare before it was cool. And I still am,” King said via email.
“In 2010, the morning after Obamacare passed the U.S. House, I drafted and filed the first legislation to repeal every single word of Obamcare,” King reminded. “Obamacare is a train wreck and if we don’t do everything humanly possible to stop it – it will wreak havoc on the economy and our freedoms.”
The Affordable Care Act is set to launch October 1st across the nation when U.S. citizens will be able to enter marketplaces in each state, where theoretically, insurance companies will “compete” for the business of new policy holders. The aim of “Obamacare” is to offer more affordable health care to those who either do not have it or cannot afford it.
“As I’ve said for years, Obamacare has billions of dollars in automatic appropriations written into it that will go on in perpetuity unless Congress takes affirmative action to shut them off,” King claimed. “Back in February 2011 when the first funding of Obamacare was to be voted on, I offered an amendment that would completely and totally defund Obamcare.”
King said that at this time, he is working with his colleagues to “get this through the House,” while Senators Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Rand Paul do the same in the Senate.
HEY STEVIE…if it is so bad fix it or come up with another plan. That is when people will start to listen to you. But wait…I had almost forgotten that in your 10 years in the House your name has yet to have been on a bill. You need to take your regressive way of thinking out of DC and slither on home like the snake you are.
This Obama care is going to break the country along with us American’s that worked hard to build our country. We need to get him out of the White House and him and his family can go on Obama care.
They have a lot of evidence and reasons to impeach him plus the public support yet congress doesn’t do it.
Evidence to impeach? Really? How does the right wing wacko kool-aid taste?
you have got to be kidding!!! if you don’t see what the rest of the country sees then you either need glasses or another hypnotist to get you out of that trance.
@maybe-I have heard and seen the same things. Only the hard core liberals are still in denial.
DENIAL seems like a small thing compared to what they are doing. If I walked into their house and started to steal their possessions all I would have to tell them that it wasn’t me but someone else and they would believe me even though they were watching me. BEYOND stupid is the only way I can describe these liberals.
if you would be so kind as to tell us what evidence you have that would be an impeachable offense. As far as reasons go just because you don’t like him isn’t a reason to impeach. You are talking Faux News mumbo dumbo.
OK sheeple, here is the list and NONE of it comes from fox news but from other news agencies. Lets start out with obamacare, bengazi, supplying weapons to our enemies which is treason, Syria, most of his executive orders, and that’s just off the top of my head. I know if I looked alittle I would find a dozen more reasons.
Even the Unions and a lot of democrats are down on Obamacare. Everyone is trying to get waivers. When are they going to admit this thing SUCKS. If they want to take the good parts and build on that then they should start doing it. Punishing the people who can least afford it is the wrong thing to do. I think King is right, it is a train wreck and a lot of other people agree with me. I read today that Pelosi’s area is the one with the most waivers granted. Go figure.
LVS, It’s not what Obama wants for his health insurance but it’s good enough for his sheeple. When are the sheeple going to wake up?? Like Pelosi granting waivers to all in her district. The Pass it to see what’s in it gal. Obama, Pelosi, Reid & Holder. Real winners.
And another thing, your bias is showing Matt with that picture. Shame.
Once the Pres. And his coherts, Congress and their families want Obamacare,…. come and talk to us then. I agree with ,King. If the people that can’t afford ins. Want ins. Then lets fund a policy that they can apply for. But leave me and my insurance company alone. Obama, Michele, Biden and wife, Pres. Clinton all running around the country now pushing Obamacare and yet they all have opted out of it. What…Are we STOOPID,,,?????
