Repeal and reveal

True to their word, the republicans in congress have voted to repeal "Obamacare".


True to their word, they have voted to deny coverage to people with pre-exisiting health conditions.

True to their word, they have voted to allow insurance companies to discontinue coverage at any time, for no reason.

True to their word, they have voted to keep parents from including their young adult children on their policies.

True to their word, they have voted to increase the deficit by $100 billion over the next ten years.

True to their word, they have voted to allow insurance companies to arbitrarily cap the amount of coverage you can get in a year.

True to their word, they have voted to allow insurance companies to arbitrarily cap the amount of coverage you can get in a lifetime.

True to their word, they have voted to deny you the ability to get preventative care like mammograms, immunizations and pre-natal care at no cost.

True to their word, they have voted to prevent you from having a guaranteed choice of primary care doctor.

True to their word, they have voted to deny you the right to the same type of health care coverage that members of congress already receive.

Now, of course, this vote really doesn't mean a damn thing because the bill will never make it through the Senate and would be vetoed by the president anyway.

But isn't it nice to finally have some people in office who keep their word?
