Quote:

Aiming to link the rollback effort to job creation, Republicans named the bill “Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act.”

Are you kidding me? This is what is going into the history books? :p

From the same @ssholes who brought us the Patriot Act. What a bunch of jingoistic dickheads. This is certain to appeal to their base, however.

Absolutely correct.

They are simply throwing red meat to the least astute section of their base, the one's who don't realize that this has no chance of passing.

So the bill title, besides being dorky, is legal even though it is an outright lie is and at best considered an opinion?

Sure. When did it become illegal for Congress to lie?

Experts agree that many small businesses would bear a relatively small burden because of the various forms of assistance the bill provides – particularly the exemption for those with payrolls of $500,000 or less. Small employers that already offer coverage would actually benefit, in Lewin’s estimate: Their costs would decrease by an average of $362 per employee for businesses with 10 to 24 employees and $829 per employee for businesses with fewer than 10 workers.

Linda Blumberg, a senior fellow at the liberal Urban Institute, told FactCheck.org that the legislation can help small businesses that want to provide coverage but don’t because of the cost. The insurance exchange, open to businesses with fewer than 100 employees within three years of enactment, would give small businesses an opportunity to buy policies with pricetags similar to what large businesses are getting. With fewer employees, those businesses aren’t currently able to pool risk with healthy and not-so-healthy employees the way large firms can. "When competing for labor," Blumberg says, "they’re at a real disadvantage."

Yep, those are pretty much the facts I remembered Factcheck.org putting forth and I suppose it is possible that some employer(s) might let some go without any real grounds to do so but certainly nothing like what these factless opponents make it out to be.

Children. The immature antics of their pundits have reached Capitol Hill. I can't help but think our new congress is going to do nothing but make complete asses of themselves.

If you think it's been bad up to this point, you aint seen nuthin' yet.

Congress has been a zoo for a while. But, now the monkeys have taken over.
The acidic hate spewing internet blog troll, and the imbecile who thinks God punishes sodomites with earthquakes are now our congressional representatives.

Get yourself a funnel cake, step into the big tent, the show is about to begin................

Come to think of it, I thought Ears and the Donks were going to repeal the Patriot Act and close Guantanamo, among other things.

Looks like they're moving in the wrong direction.

They were against it before they were for it.
