The Affordable Care Act

[bobabode]

Here we go again. Rubio proposes legislation to gut the ACA and link it to their upcoming debt ceiling fight. When will these spinning idjits ever learn?

"Testifying before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) promoted legislation he has introduced in the Senate to repeal a provision of the Affordable Care Act known as “risk corridors,” which are designed to limit the losses and gains of health insurance plans during the first three years they are sold on the law’s new exchanges.
Republicans have discussed linking repeal of the provision to a one-year increase in the federal debt ceiling, an issue that is again coming up for debate. A deal to temporarily suspend the debt limit was reached in October but is due to expire Friday. In their statements to the House panel Wednesday, neither Rubio nor the Oversight Committee chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), mentioned linking repeal of the risk corridors to a debt-ceiling increase.
“This law has so many flaws that it cannot be fixed,” Rubio told the committee. “The American people should not have to pay for another taxpayer-funded bailout.” He added; “The bottom line is that it is not right to allow a powerful industry to use its influence in Washington to protect itself” from the health-care law."
