Swing Voters, You’ve Been Had: Boehner, GOP-T Party Wrote Health-Care Repeal in Secret, No Hearings, Bill Is Unfunded


After complaining loudly - and falsely - about transparency during crafting of the health-care reform law, Speaker-Elect Boehner has written the repeal law behind closed doors and is forbidding hearings to be held before the vote in the House next week. He has the blessing of Freedomworks, the corporate astroturf group headed by former GOP House Majority Leader Dick Armey and funded by the right-wing extremist Koch brothers.

Steve Benen at Washington Monthly:

.............................

Perhaps most interesting, the House Republicans, in their first big legislative push, have decided to put aside their own budget guidelines in order to pursue repeal. They don’t have much of a choice — the Affordable Care Act lowers the deficit by hundreds of billions of dollars. The GOP can’t pay for its repeal push, so it’s decided not to try — Republicans would just add the costs the deficit, which they occasionally pretend to care about.

That’s right. If it were to become law, the repeal is not paid for.
