So confident are Republicans that railing against the fascicommunazism of ObamaCare will be a political winner this November that at least one has introduced a bill to repeal it. This is, of course, the same Steve King (R-IA) who believes in a nation full of teabaggers where obscene epithets about race and orientation are permissible, as is beating the political opposition to a pulp.
The text of Rep. King's legislation is crystal-clear:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. REPEAL OF PPACA.
Effective as of the enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, such Act is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such Act are restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted.
So let's take a look at what King's bill would do:
- Make a whole ton of young voters ineligible to be on their parents' insurance plans.
- Allow health insurers to commit rescission of policyholders at any time.
- Allow health insurers to deny coverage to anyone, including children, based on pre-existing conditions.
- Allow health insurers to charge women higher rates simply because they're women.
Just to name a few. You go, Steve King! Run on that platform! Let's get our private industry deregulated to allow the free health insurance market to reign supreme once more! Yeah, you've got a winning message in November, all right.
