Cancer Treatment Coverage for Children ... Republicans Will Try and Repeal it!

Here's a taste of your own medicine right-wing/conservatives/Republicans/teabaggers! You have declared WAR ON …

• CANCER TREATMENT INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR CHILDREN

• EXPANDED MEDICARE COVERAGE FOR SENIORS

• TAX BREAKS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES PROVIDING HEALTH INSURANCE FOR EMPLOYEES

• AN END TO INSURANCE COMPANIES DENYING INSURANCE FOR PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS

• AN END TO THE CANCELLATION OF INSURANCE FOR PEOPLE WHO GET SICK

• AN END TO COVERAGE LIMITS OVER THE COURSE OF A PERSON'S LIFE TIME

That's correct ... REPUBLICANS ARE TRYING TO TAKE AWAY ALL OF THE ABOVE BENEFITS OF PRESIDENT OBAMA'S HEALTH CARE REFORM LAW ... AND MORE!

Yesterday, in several threads, I predicted that the term OBAMACARE would disappear from the teabaggers' vocabulary because it would take on such a positive connotation, the right-wing would see that once-derogatory, deceptive political piece of bull@!$%# ... come back to bite it in its political ass!

My prediction war wrong! I said it would take months ...

It only took HOURS! Shortly after President Obama signed the House Bill into law, Republican Mitch McConnell changed the name from Obamacare to the Health Spending Bill. And a contingent of Republicans chimed in as they declared WAR ON INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR CHILDREN WITH CANCER and other serious illnesses!

Yesterday, a couple of right-wing Newsvine "authors" deleted my comments ... ONE OF THOSE COMMENTS WAS DELETED BECAUSE it was "too long."

TOO LONG? My comment listed a number of intentional misrepresentations about the Health Care Bills ... and CORRECTED THEM!

So touche Republicans and shills of the Health Insurance profiteering long-time scam on America; you wouldn't deal with me on your column ... deal with me here, on mine!

Republicans want to repeal President Obama's Health Care Reform Law ...

Heartless hypocrites!

I don't delete comments unless they are personal insults (or those requested to be deleted by the individual who wrote the comment to be deleted) ... unlike some who haven't got the courage to stand up and defend their opinions.

If it's on-topic, it stays ... and I am very LIBERAL about what I deem to be on-topic.

Let's go!

A Mac,

While I agree with what you are saying here, I think it is also important to talk about WHY they are doing this.

They will say it is because we are trashing the Constitution, or because we are trying to have the Government take over healthcare, or because we want to turn America into a socialist state, or we are trying to bankrupt the country, and lets not forget about pulling the plug on grandma... the list goes on an on... and they probably will continue to make those claims... But the question is why are they making all of these ridiculous hysterical claims... overheated rhetoric to quote the President??? NOT for any of these reason! Many of them have convinced themselves that they care about America and they are just trying to do the right thing... But what they really want is POWER!!! (Are you listening creeper, that is the answer to my mystery assertion.) And when I say "they" I really mean corporations and extreme ideologues. Most of the average folks that are marching with hateful signs, spitting on people, shouting epithets, and threatening violence are just scared... they are stressed because they are afraid of loosing their jobs or have already lost there jobs, and they are falling victim to the propaganda agents that peddle hate and fear.

So those Republicans in Congress WILL have to make war on children with cancer, senior citizens, and the rest of us average Americans in order to accomplish their goals. It probably isn't their objective to hurt sick children and seniors, but they are so focused on getting the power and money they crave that they will march blindly over whatever gets in their way.

Mal,

They will say it is because we are trashing the Constitution

Here's my answer to the Constitution-defending right-wing hypocrites ... 35 violations of the Constitution ... http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/busharticles

But the question is why are they making all of these ridiculous hysterical claims... overheated rhetoric to quote the President???

Because "he's a Muslim," "he's not a citizen," "HE'S A BLACK MAN LIVING IN A WHITE HOUSE," "I HOPE HE FAILS (Rush Limbaugh)," "He's the anti-Christ (recent poll of right-wingers)," "He has a problem with white people" (Glenn Beck) ...

... need more?

Thanks for your input, Mal.

A. Mac

NOTE:

Here is the knowledge-base contingent of the right-wing, anti-health care reform ... the experts on the Constitution.

The republicans see their careers crumbling and they don't have a plan B to save them. They've used the same scare tactics for decades and they've always won. When the scare tactics didn't win this time, and they were sure they would, it threw them off kilter. The republicans should be afraid because when health care kicks in, the people they manipulated will turn against them. Excluding the racists and the down right stupid who'll use any excuse to raise their ugly heads.

Repeal what? Health care for those who need it!
