For 8 years the GOP rhetoric was “repeal and replace” the ACA (Affordable Care Act), this is how the GOP won the midterm elections in 2010 and 2014 taken control of Congress. Here we are 8 years later into a GOP controlled Congress and they have failed in passing their own health law, which has garnered major criticism from health professionals and the American people. The GOP health law is so bad, former President Obama came out against the dismal health law stating “this is not a health law.” By former President Barack Obama lengthy statement and the 220 million who will be removed off health care, the GOP are America’s death panel.

In March, the GOP-controlled House failed two times to pass their health law and struggle to get the votes. Although, in the second attempt getting 217 votes to pass, the bill failed because pricktator in chief Donald Trump stated it was “mean” and many of the House GOP regretted voting for the bill. On the Senate side, the bill was DOA (dead on arrival) and according to Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy in a Facebook video “it is meaner and dumber”, but what do you expect from a GOP-controlled Senate?
“So…what would you call a group of people who have decided, cynically, callously and cold-heartedly, to take health insurance away from those who need it the most just to survive? The phrase “death panel” certainly seems right to me to describe that nasty , disgusting and evil group of people like Paul Ryan and his co-conspirators who want to take health care coverage from Americans.” Daily Kos
220 million people will be removed off health care with the GOP horrendous health law. The poor and elderly cannot afford health care, with the drastic cuts they are making with Medicaid. According to Speaker Paul Ryan, “people are not being pushed off they will choose not to by.” Um, what person chooses not buy health insurance? Poor people and elderly cannot afford health care, therefore they do not have a choice. Additionally, the GOP deliberately took the money from the risk corridor designated for the health insurance companies, sabotaging the ACA lying to the American people who Obama care is dead.
The GOP is the reason America has lost it way and why we continue to fight over the same decades argument and nothing is getting accomplished.
