Don't Fund It!

Reuters – Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) speaks during an interview with Reuters in Washington, …

Now that the Republicans have made big gains the House, they are coming up with strategies to block Obama's health care bill. It will be more than just calling for a repeal, which would likely be vetoed by Obama and the still majority democrat Senate.

So, the next wisest strategy would be to not fund it. It's as simple as that.

More realistically, McConnell said Republicans, who will hold a majority in next year's House of Representatives, should aim to hobble the healthcare law by "denying funds for implementation" of the measure. Annual spending bills for agencies, including ones that implement the healthcare law, are normally written first in the House.

Democrats accused Republicans of putting the interests of large corporations ahead of families.

No, actually it's the American people that don't want it. See, we were unaware that you were going to pass 2700 pages of a bill that would ration our health care, along with giving the Secretary of Health and Human Services a carte blance on imposing any and all restrictions at their discretion. 

No, the Republicans are actually the ones putting the people first. Ummm...that's why they won.

"It speaks volumes that the first thing on Republicans' 'to do' list is to give power back to big health insurance companies," said Jim Manley, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Again with the lies. No, Harry, we wanted to open up the competition between companies selling health insurance. This way we don't have states where only 3 companies are allowed to compete.
