Here's an idea, let's make sure that 30 million Americans are denied access to healthcare.
John Boehner’s Answer on Syria is to Hold More Votes To Kill ObamacareWith the nation facing a vote on the authorization of military force in Syria, Rep. John Boehner is already planning more votes to kill Obamacare.
Politico reported that with the Congress facing critical votes on Syria, funding the government, and the debt ceiling, Speaker of the House John Boehner’s big plan for the fall is to hold more votes to stop Obamacare:
At the same time Washington is focused on Syria, advisers to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) say he plans to intensify his crusade against Obamacare. Conservatives in both the House and Senate are determined to prosecute their case for defunding the Affordable Care Act, and even the House leadership will continue trying to roll back the law just as it’s beginning to go into effect.
“We have not ruled out defunding Obamacare in the [continuing resolution],” a House GOP aide said. House Speaker John Boehner has also said he plans a series of votes in a continuing effort to curtail the law — for instance, adding a requirement that income and eligibility be verified for people getting benefits. Aides hope a measure like that could get some Democratic buy-in.

Syria, funding the government, and the debt ceiling. John, remember these issues? Oh and by the way, where are the jobs? That's what I thought!

*We have always been the party of isolationists!*
Isolating unworthy people from wages, housing, food and healthcare means they'll die faster.
It is WAR, after all.
And a lesson to Americans to NOT get uppity.
Besides, who's gonna miss 30 million people?
Not us, unless they're NOT born yet or talking back!
*Unless our man is in office and the contracts are all signed, then we'll party like there's no tomorrow!*
The signs are very telling, aren't they?
First sign is a reverse of keeping Republicans out of women's bodies.
The next is a Randian meme of how doctors office are not found in nature, so let's abolish all medicine, anyway.
The last is really special, the racists show their Freudian slips again.
