House Republicans Vote to Repeal Health Care to 30 Million People, Vote Down Law That Would Have Stripped Theirs

In a twisted sense of entitlement, House Republicans voted to keep their own government sponsored health care but voted en masse to repeal the Affordable Care Act which grants 30 million people access to private health care coverage and shrinks the deficit.

House Democrats pressed Republicans for motions that would strip members from their tax-payer funded health care if the repeal of the Affordable Care Act passed. Republicans struck each and every attempt down.  As we all know, Republicans are not against government-run anything.  They are only against other people receiving such benefits.

The Republican gimmick will go nowhere.  Sen. Leader Harry Reid has said he won't even give the repeal effort the time of day in his chamber.  In addition to voting to strip access to health care away from 30 million people, House Republicans also voted to increase the budget deficit by $230 billion over the next ten years.

Never before has one group of people done so much to downtrodden the middle class and massively increase budget deficits and still get to be called compassionate conservatives and fiscal hawks.
