A million people a year not having health care, not a crime?
Are you joking? How many times have we heard about the
high infant mortality rates compared to other countries?
That's the definition of a crime against humanity.

The reason they stated was that they fear it'll become
an unfunded mandate, that is...once the repubs get in
power they plan on getting rid of Obamacare which
will make it an unfunded mandate...of their own doing.
I'm not sure what term to apply to that kind of twisted
logic? But it turns my stomach, our governor also turned
down $10 billion in free money (grants) for job creation
to reduce unemployment using the same reasoning.
At the time Florida had 10% unemployment, and Gov Scott
said 'we don't need it'. Keep your filthy democratic money.
That's just a sickness, nothing less, to not help people
when you can with just the flip of a pen. And this from
a governor that made his billion dollar fortune running
one of the largest HMO's that bilked the feds for billions
in medicare fraud. He got rich off the poor, now he
sticks it to them at every turn, even reducing unemployment
benefits from 49th least in the country, to dead last
just to send a message to big business.
The country voted on Obamacare when they reelected
the President.

There's a big difference between deliberate abuse from
the top, and a few overzealous or incompetent employees
violating policies. But now the repubs can hold lots of
hearings and not have to do a thing for the nation, like usual.
Just what's in it for themselves. Ingratiate themselves
to the rich and powerful while they can, so they can have
a nice plushy job waiting for them when they leave Congress.
