95 Republicans Expand ObamaCare--Boehner Continues To Be Epic Failure

From Fire Andrea Mitchell:

5:14 PM (7 hours ago)95 Republicans expand ObamaCARE – Boehner continues to be an epic failurefrom Fire Andrea Mitchell! by adminI think its really time to rename ObamaCARE to BoehnerCARE. First the Republicans failed to defund the $105 BILLION slush fund in their continuing resolution. Even Majority Leader Eric Cantor admitted that the CR would allow for the funding of OBoehnerCARE. But something you may not have heard about (like me until I read Red State), is that 95 Republicans actually voted to EXPAND OBoehnerCARE yesterday to veterinarians! The extension was named: The Veterinary Public Health Amendments Act (HR 525), and was introduced by Marxist Rep. Tammy Baldwin from Wisconsin (of course.) One of the bill’s provisions expands the Public Health Workforce Loan Repayment Program. This loan program was created in Obamacare under (Title V, Section 5204) and now includes veterinarians in the definition of eligible public health officials. Here is how the Representatives voted.



In the last Congress, H.R. 2999 attempted to expand eligibility for this loan repayment program to veterinarian public health professionals. The bill passed by voice vote in the early morning hour (1AM) of September 30, 2010, shortly before Members were about to recess to campaign for the November election. The Senate did not act on the bill….




Now, H.R. 2999 has resurfaced this Congress. Its exact text is reflected in H.R. 525 that is scheduled for a vote on the floor….At a time when conservatives are looking for federal programs to terminate, many Members may not want to expand eligibility for a federal health loan forgiveness program to any specialty group, especially for a program that Obamacare ushered in.
