Warning To Incoming Republicans

By Semperpapa

According to an article in The Hill Republican incoming Majority Leader Eric Cantor stated to a group of students at American University that the Republicans plan on keeping some of the provisions of Obamacare, while still aiming at the complete repeal of the legislature.

Two of the provisions reported to have been singled out by the Virginia Congressman were mandated coverage of pre-existing conditions and the coverage, under their parents policy, of children up to 26 years of age.

The article from The Hill was subsequently modified correcting the statement from Cantor. The correction points out that Cantor emphasized the intention of Republicans to repeal the whole existing legislation, while addressing those specific issues in a different way by means of a new bill.

This is all very strange, as the main concern at this time on the part of the newly elected Republicans should be to stop and eliminate Obamacare before it can do more damage that it already has. If there is a bill in the works from the Republicans, and it better be in the works, it should be presented and discussed at the time when it will be ready to be voted on.

Now I don’t know if the misleading on the subject was an attempt of The Hill to place a negative light on Cantor or it was the Congressman slip of the tongue, but I would like to remind the newly elected Republicans that any form of “business as usual” will only result into a similar treatment, as it was imparted to the Democrats on Nov. 2, next elections.

If Cantor and company have not gotten the message, a lot more American people are paying attention to what is happening and our memory is long.

Just my thoughts!
