House bill targets health law, Planned Parenthood funds

WASHINGTON — The House Budget Committee approved Republican legislation Friday that would scuttle President Barack Obama’s health care law and block federal payments to Planned Parenthood.

The measure is the latest of many GOP measures that have been aimed at both targets but that Democrats have managed to derail in the Senate.

This time, Republicans are using a special process that would prevent Democratic senators from using filibusters, or procedural delays, to kill the measure. That means there’s a strong chance the legislation will reach Obama — who would be certain to veto it.

Republicans are aware of the bill’s ultimate fate but are pushing it anyway as a way to highlight their views to conservatives ahead of next year’s presidential and congressional elections.

4. Last count....................

now it going to be close to 60.
Lets think about that 60 times they have had 247 right wingers vote to take down woman's, men's, and children health and they are making $174,000 a year to do that


247 x $174,000 = $42,978,000 million dollars to attack woman, men and children health -------------, that is what should be discussed what has the public gotten from them spending over 42 million dollars so far this year in what-----------hate, fear, and a congress that is down to the level guano droppings-----------and now we have a complete dysfunctional House-------------because they basically hate the country and the government, which is you and me, your neighbor, friends
And now we have the perpetual clown car spewing there guano droppings----------------while humans beings are standing on the street corner with card board signs-------------begging to stay alive


That's what this country has----------republican congressional guano droppings------------ 247 of them


Honk-----------------for a political revolution Bernie 2016

6. Traitors

That's all I have to say about them. They don't care about the United States, they don't care about babies at all once they're born, they don't care about the economy (except for tilting it in favor of the 1%) and don't care how many die from lack of health care coverage. It's all about them. Nobody hate the ACA except big business, that's why they don't move on from it.
