how many of you support a repeal of Obama's Heathcare Plan? And don't say you think some things should be kept because if it wasn't for The Affordable Care Act/Obama none of this would have ever been touched.
Rep. Gary Ackerman To GOP On Healthcare: Put Up Or Shut Up
Democratic New York Congressman Gary Ackerman says he’ll introduce a series of bills to give Republicans an opportunity to do what they say they want to do: repeal “Obamacare”.
The congressman said the legislation — all titled the HIPA-CRIT (Health Insurance Protects America—Can’t Repeal IT) — will give Republicans a chance to “put up, or sit down” on their campaign promise to repeal the eight-month-old law.
“This will be the big chance for Republicans to do what they’ve vowed to do,” the 13-term member said. “These bills will be their chance to at long last restore liberty and repeal the evil monster they’ve dubbed ‘Obamacare.’ “
Here are the items Ackerman will give Republicans a chance vote on to, in his words, “deprive their constituents of these silly safeguards from the big insurance companies,” by overturning provisions that:
* Ban health plans from rescinding coverage;
* Eliminate annual coverage limits;
* Eliminate lifetime limits;
* Prevent plans from turning down adults with pre-existing conditions;
* Prevent plans from turning down children with pre-existing conditions; and
* Require that insurers offer coverage for dependents up to age 26 on family plans.

i think the gop might be crazy enough to actually repeal this thing piece by piece, but it is good that someone is making them put their votes where their rhetorical, hyperbole speaking mouths are...
