Job No. 1 when new Congress meets? Dismantling Obamacare - Buffalo News [View all]

Congress often waits for a new president to take office before it gets down to business. This year, Republicans will drop that custom in their dash to scrap the Affordable Care Act.

Within hours of the new Congress convening Tuesday, the House plans to adopt a package of rules to clear the way for repealing the health care law and replacing it with as-yet-unspecified measures meant to help people obtain insurance coverage.

Then, in the week of Jan. 9, according to a likely timetable sketched out by Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., the House will vote on a budget blueprint, which is expected to call for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. - The Buffalo News

Don't dilute yourselves. The GOP is not our friend and they make no qualms about taking more away from average Americans and giving it to their rich donors.
