House Democrat Destroys Eric Cantor’s Obamacare Lies

House Democrat Destroys Eric Cantor’s Obamacare Lies

Who are these people? They’re Democrats, but they’re not acting like the Democrats of old. Here comes Sandy Levin (D-MI), charging into the House with a scathing opening statement during yet another GOP attempt to dismantle Obamacare, in which he totally destroyed Eric Cantor’s (R-VA) silly claim that Obamacare was on “borrowed time”.

Levin started with, “This weekend House Majority Leader Eric Cantor declared that the Affordable Care Act ‘is on borrowed time.’ Well let’s review what the Affordable Care Act has accomplished on Mr. Cantor’s so-called ‘borrowed time.’”

Oh, dear. Is Representative Levin going to beat Cantor’s claim with the truth stick? Things are about to get ugly up in the House.

Here’s what Cantor said on Face The Nation on Sunday, “First of all, the Affordable Care Act — I think most of the public has now seen what we’ve been talking about. This law is a disaster. In my opinion, Obamacare is on borrowed time. You know, policies are being canceled, prices are going up, access to hospitals and doctors are being limited –”

So Levin dropped some facts on Cantor:

More than three million people have enrolled in private insurance through the new marketplaces.
Over six million people have been determined eligible for Medicaid.
No one can be denied coverage for a preexisting condition or kicked off an insurance plan.
More than 100 million Americans no longer have a lifetime limit on coverage.
105 million Americans have received access to free preventative services.
Six million young adults have been able to get health insurance through their parent’s plans.
Over seven million senior citizens have saved more than $8.3 billion on prescription drugs.


Oh, but, wait. Glitches! Running against Obamacare was the entire GOP 2014 plan. Can they get a redo?

No, not unless they want to do something instead of wasting time pretending to dismantle Obamacare. Levin accused Republicans of preferring failure since they refuse to do anything positive, “Regrettably, rather than working to achieve success, it is clear with every new bill that Republicans simply prefer its failure. Today’s effort is just the latest salvo.”


Levin is not impressed with the agenda set by House Republicans.

He 'seems' to me to be a normal human being...
You're lucky to have had both of them.

Just pull the 'Levin lever."

It pisses me off that Sunday Gas Bag Inc gives sociopathic Liars like Paul Ryan a platform to spew their weekly propaganda.

thanks for the good news about Sandy Levin's dose of Facts, babylonsistah~
