The House is scheduled to vote today on full repeal of Obamacare. Although many reports are circulating that Congress has already voted on this numerous times, this is only the second time the House will have voted to fully repeal the law.
Heritage has laid out the impacts of Obamacare on the American people—and according to a poll released this week, a majority of Americans agree that Obamacare should be repealed. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius took to the pages of The Washington Post this week to re-argue the Administration’s positions, claiming basically the opposite of the havoc Obamacare is wreaking on the U.S. economy and health care system.
As Congress takes up the issue, we present the Top 5 Reasons to Repeal Obamacare:
5. To stop adding to the U.S. deficit and debt.
Medicare and Medicaid is pushing the federal budget to the breaking point. Obamacare makes the problem much worse by adding to the entitlement crisis in the form of a massive Medicaid expansion and a new entitlement subsidy for households with incomes up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level. These two spending entitlement programs will add at least 35 million Americans to the government rolls at an expense of more than $200 billion annually by the end of the decade.
4. To help stop Taxmageddon.
In addition to being a massive federal power grab, Obamacare contains a massive tax increase on the American economy—at a time when job growth should be the nation’s number one priority. In total, the Congressional Budget Office estimated the Obamacare tax hikes would raise about $800 billion in new revenue over a decade. Taxmageddon—the unprecedented, $494 billion tax hike scheduled to hit Americans on January 1, 2013 —includes just five of Obamacare’s 18 new taxes.

It works for me!!!!
Actually, Virgo, there are two top reasons, and yours is a most valid reason. However the second one is just as valid, and importan……..the FACT BEING, THAT WE, THE PEOPLE DID NOT, and STILL DON”T WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!! We did not ask for this BURDEN and OVER TAXATION, BUT WE WERE NOT ASKED! We HAD IT FORCED UPON US AND DOWN OUR THROATS!! And, those three, yours, and mine, are three of the most valid reasons of all to REPEAL IT AND TAKE IT AND SHOVE IT BACK DOWN THE THROATS OF THOSE WHO FORCED IT DOWN OURS! We should REGURGITATE IT AND FEED IT TO PIGLOUSY AND OBUTTHOLE AND ALL THOSE WHO THOUGHT TO MAKE US EAT IT AND LIKE IT! MAKE THEM ALL EAT THEIR OWN VOMIT!!!!!!!!!!! This is an insult, a direct kick in the gut to all Americans. Those who supported it, the Americans who did, should be the ones to have it FORCED UPON THEM, since they don’t mind paying these high TAXES! That would be justice. AARP, and all the old people who want it, and the younger ones who don’t know their asses from a hole in the ground, are the ones who DESERVE to have to pay for this ABORTION OF A LAW!! I’ve seen plenty who did support the thing. Let those types pay for the thing, and then they can claim to have gotten the whole nation out of debt! That is sarcasm, by the way…………..
You're absolutely RIGHT and your name tells the tale, why not tell us how you really feel??
Sarcasm noted!!!!
I do not understand why so many citizens want to praise Odumbo………What has HE done that makes him ABOVE the LAW ? ? ? He takes $$$$$$ from programs that should only be for the program it was established for…….he is so busy with vacations / unneccessary travel at tax-payer expence… What makes
him think he can tamper with the GOD of the universe.???…….He better be real careful…..The very breath
he breathes comes from the GOD he doesn't know. How sad. (for him) . He has already gained the
name "ANTI-CHRIST". THAT'S WHO A LOT OF FOLK SAY HE IS….and maybe so…..if you aren't FOR
something……then you're AGAINST IT. please, please, please people…..NOT 4 more years ! ! ! ! ! ! !
WHO NEEDS OBAMOOOO CARE ? ? ? ? DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HE CAN REALLY
CARE FOR ANYTHING ! ! ! ! HE SEEMS SO CARE-FREE;;; I DOUBT HE COULD
TAKE REAL CARE OF ANYTHING OR ANYBODY. I FEEL LIKE HE WANTS TO TAKE
THE U.S.A. BACK TO THE "STONE-AGE "… …
IT'S REALLY THE RIGHT TIME TO PRAY, PRAY & PRAY FOR GOD TO COME TO
OUR RESCUE AND EVERYTHING RETURNS TO WHAT 'WE' CALL NORMAL.
