| Romney vows to repeal US health reforms if elected |
| 2012-06-30 |
| [Daily Nation (Kenya)] Republican White House challenger Mitt Romney renewed his campaign pledge Thursday to seek to repeal health care reforms from his first day in office if he wins the November elections. Speaking just hours after the US Supreme Court upheld President Barack Obama's signature reforms, Romney said: "What the court did not do on the last day in session, I will do on my first day if elected president of the United States, and that is that I will act to repeal 'Obamacare.'" In a hastily called address, Romney argued that despite the court's ruling they "did not... say that Obama care is good law or that it is good policy. Obama care was bad policy yesterday. It's bad policy today. "Obama care was bad law yesterday. It is bad law today," he said arguing that the Affordable Care Act would raise taxes, cause the national deficit to balloon and make up to 20 million Americans lose the insurance they already had. Some 75 percent of businesses surveyed had also said that the requirement to provide health insurance would force them to scale back hiring, he said. |

| #2 Thanks BP! Re the falsehoods of OC: "If your mother tells you the tooth fairly will leave $0.25 under your pillow doesn't make it true. Just because someone says something is true doesn't make it true." [ObammerCare and costs] "...is like throwing gasoline on a fire and then having to get a bigger fire extinguisher." Amen. However, there are many Americans who think Obamacare is paid for with Obama Dollars--that is it is free. So has anyone read the 2700 pages of this albatross? No one knows the cost of this turkey is because of the poison pills in the bill. Moreover, ObamaCare seems to be whatever Sebelius, H&HS deems it to be in the future. If entitlements are out of control now, wait until the full effects of this monster hits. |
