Walberg, Michigan Republican Congressmen Vote To RepealBy JGillman, Section News
The vote to repeal Obamacare like the original vote was decided along party lines sans two Dems who acknowledge the catastrophe their party has wrought.
All of Michigan's Republicans stepped up to the plate to 'repeal' the 'affordable' health care act, with a couple of them making sure you know they did. It marks the third time the House has voted to fully repeal this law since 2011. Rep Tim Walberg (R-CD7) voted in favor of H.R. 45 to repeal the President's health care law, and said the following: "The reality of Obamacare is millions of Americans losing access to their current health care coverage, job destroying tax hikes and mandates, and massive health insurance premium increases. This government takeover of health care will hurt families, hurt small businesses, hurt retirees, and hurt Americans seeking to find work in our tough economy, so I voted today to repeal it. I support common sense, patient-centered solutions such as ending lawsuit abuse, expanding the flexibility of medical savings accounts, and allowing the purchase of insurance across state lines, that will truly make health care more affordable and help families."And he wasn't the only one. Fred Upton (R-CD6) heads the Energy and Commerce committee, which uses the platform to examine the costs of Obamacare (and actually uses THAT Name for it, which I find inappropriate and strange)as reported by insurers. Candace Miller (R-CD10) referencing previous appropriations efforts alongside the repeal vote says: "There is nothing more personal to each and every American than their health care and their relationship with their doctor. And no issue is more important to each and every American than having a growing economy and job security. Today the House acted for the 37th time to repeal ObamaCare because it puts at risk the doctor-patient relationship and it will destroy jobs and put countless others at risk. And Dave Camp (R-CD4) listed a few reasons a couple days ago why repeal is a good plan.

Somehow, I suspect these are conservative estimates. I have referenced our small business and its increased costs of 70% since the ACA was passed before. The committee that produces this report ought not exist. The law should never have been considered. Congress never should have been allowed to mandate any purchase simply to exist. And if this thing actually originated in the US Senate, the law is invalidated by the US Supreme Court's recognition that the PPACA was in fact 'a tax.' Recall that: U.S. Constitution - Article 1 Section 7We can't have it both ways right?
And, none of the defunding efforts made by Republicans have nullified the bill. Miller claims: There have been seven bills passed by the Congress and signed by President Obama that directly repeal or rescind funding from at least 8 different ObamaCare provisions:All the while leaving open the other options that HHS and Sebelius have been using to try and get around clever little gimmicks. Frankly the government needs to be stopped until the liar in chief cries uncle. Somehow that seems unlikely to happen, so reminding folks WHOM is responsible for such a cluster-foxtrot situation is appropriate. In fact, I wonder who gives money to Mr. Peters and Friends? Would it be a surprise to find 95 percentile going to Democrats from treasury workers, including a number of representatives from Michigan in the 2010 and 2012 cycle? No? Nothing like buying a job of increasing power I guess. And because Government is too big to manage, maybe we do them all a favor and shrink it back to constitutionally appropriate levels? To 10% of its size? Funding is within the-control-of-The-House-Of-Representatives no matter WHAT Dan Beneshek (R-CD1)says.
Article 1, Section 8:This is further backed up with Hamilton's comments in Federalist 66 "The exclusive privilege of originating money bills will belong to the House of Representatives. "The senate can propose, the President can wish, but unless Congress (the House) agrees, nothing gets paid for. So Republicans have proven that they can take these symbolic steps forward, get a little copy, and impress their voting base. However, it will only be impressive when they are ready to spend a little political capital for the good of the nation, and repeal most of government next.
