One minute against it, the next promising to use it – why are we surprised when it comes to the total hypocrisy of the GOP and their WI “young gun” Paul Ryan. Whether touting their ludicrous Pledge to America (if you’re white only of course) or here being called on his hypocrisy of pledging to use reconciliation to reverse the successes of the Obama administration, you can see yet again why the people in WI District 1 need different representation.
UPDATE
Paul Ryan (along with Sensenbrenner and Petri) is one of 172 Republican’s who have signed certifiably crazy Representative Steve King’s (IA) pledge to rescind the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (commonly known as Obamacare) – an action that if fulfilled, would mean the renewal of preexisting limitations on health care insurance for children and for adults (scheduled for 2014); the renewal of lifetime caps on health care coverage; the return of young adults without health care; the return of the donut hole for seniors and of course their ultimate goal – millions of dollars for their paymasters in the insurance industry.
this could be a daily occurrence. I wonder if ryan will have a hissy fit about this also and have his right wing hacks at heritage/cato ,etc…fight his battles for him.
What a joke you dems are. You put your faith in KO. Only the extreme left watches that show and in small numbers at that. He took every quote out of context. Just like Ben Affleck did on SNL skit of KO.
Perhaps the one positive thing in the law & it’s still almost half a decade away from actually being implemented. But sure, lament the taking away of something that doesn’t even exist yet. Had that issue been addressed on it’s own, we’d probably already have it implemented. The timing of the law going into effect itself is very telling. Or is it simply a coincidence that almost nothing happens for people to discover and hate it until after the mid-term and 2012 Presidential elections. Hmm. If there’s nothing to be ashamed of, why hide it?
Yeah the world will surely end if twenty-freaking-six year olds aren’t covered on mom & daddy’s insurance.
Um, yeah your guys did a pretty good job of that themselves by making it a law that every American must buy their product.
Hey Locke,
Glad to hear that you are behind the insurance companies. The next time they deny your claim I hope you remember what your continued support means to them. Once you are dropped from insurance coverage after they decide that paying out 80% of their premiums is just too onerous to their bonuses, assuming you aren’t covered by Medicare (a government program, I might add) I hope that any preexisting illnesses don’t preclude you from getting health insurance.
Under our health care reform (which would have been 100% better without your party’s obstructionism) insurance companies must have a medical loss ratio of 80% for private pay coverage. This is a big improvement and unless the Insurance commissioners give it away by kowtowing to the big companies will force some accountability into the system.
If your kid was under 26, uninsured and dieing of some curable but expensive disease, you’d be darn happy that coverage was available under your policy.
You might want to watch your heroine Sharron Angle denouncing paying for maternity care for mothers given that she no longer will have kids or paying for autism coverage or requiring insurance companies to pay for colonoscopies as an example of the heartless direction of the Tea Party Republicans that you seem to be so fond of. Here’s what this soulless witch had to say –
“They just passed the latest one. Everything they want to throw at us is covered under `autism` so that`s a mandate that you have to pay for. How about maternity leave? I`m not going to have any more babies but I sure get to pay for it on my insurance. Those are the kinds of things we want to get rid of.”

You and your fellow tea party Republicans need to get a heart and a soul, because what I see from those of your ilk is a self-centered greed reflecting a lack of both.
Hey MCM – you’ve certainly made an ass out of you (not me) because exactly none of the assumptions you’ve made about me are correct.
There’s not a shred of support for this statement – I said exactly NOTHING positive of insurance companies in this thread.
Further lies:
You’re just making stuff up and I refuse to engage in discussion with people who actually set my dishonesty meter spinning. And since you you think you can just carry on my side of the discussion all by yourself, have at it.
Fact – Medicare denies more claims than any private insurance company.

Yes, MCM, pile on the government programs!
