Health Care Law should be Separate
I note the inherent prejudice of the report, namely, that the reporter states that the Republicans refused to fund the government and then the reporter modifies the statement that “does not also repeal or delay the implementation of President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare reform bill,…” the reporter also notes that the House majority is Republican while he does not note that the Senate majority is Democrat. Words are inportant and the word order used in a sentence influences the perceptions of the reader. The reporter does not state the fact that the House has passed four funding resolutions that will keep workers working and keep government open. All of house funding bills were rejected by the Senate. As the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid said, “…the bills passed in the House which do not fund Obamacare are dead on arrival (DOA) in the Senate.” Harry Reid is a Democrat. Yesterday, the House passed another funding bill which would keep open all agencies closed by the shutdown. However, because the house bill did not fund Obamacare, the Senate rejected it. The House is repeatedly funding the government and keeping it open. The Senate is repeatedly defunding the government and closing it. Hey, Obamacare is not functional yet. It is planned to go into effect but the15 thousand pages of regulations need review and modifications. History shows that taxes once inplemented and collected are never repealed. Let’s take more time with the health care overhaul. Let’s fund the government while we realistically approach this problem. Please remember that it took a lot of bribery in the Senate such as the Nebraska bribe, the Louisiana bribe and the threats against incumbent Representative to get the health care law passed. It also took Chief Justice John Robert’s extraordinary expansion, even rewrite of the law, to declare it constitutional. We the people should demand that we separate from the current budget the health care law with it’s massive taxes, fees, fines and exemptions. The health care law is too massive and too important to be lumped into normal congressional business. It needs to be treated bipartisan .
