GOP To Campaign On Repealing Health Care

Please god let this be true.

"Under pressure from conservatives, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee said today that GOP candidates will coalesce around a pledge to repeal a health care bill that’s passed by the Democratic controlled Congress this year."

Who could have imagined a party hell bent on taking people's health care away. What bottom feeders.

How An Insurance Company Helped The Dems

This was a huge lift to the health care debate. A normal everyday thing in the health care industry actually saved health care reform.

"On a warm Friday in early November, California's largest for-profit health insurer submitted a plan to regulators in Sacramento. Anthem Blue Cross was seeking double-digit rate increases for many of its 800,000 individual policyholders....
Unwittingly, Anthem helped revive Democratic efforts. Every letter it sent out was a political gift for Obama. The only thing missing was a shiny red bow."

Who would have thought that the problem of the health care industry actually revived the legislation they didn't want passed.
