Rep. Steve King’s Quest To Fully Repeal Obama Care (118)
HealthyLiving: Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) has spent every day for nine months fighting for the full repeal of ObamaCare. Although he has at times been ridiculed, ignored and doubted, King campaigned tirelessly to repeal the Democrats’ health care law.
On Tuesday, the House will start the debate and vote to repeal ObamaCare as its first major legislative action since the Republicans took control. ObamaCare repeal is expected to pass the House on Thursday, and Steve King will have been proven right all along.
“The strategy for repeal that I laid out last March is on track. First file the repeal. Then get as many signatures. Then file a discharge petition. Use it as a tool to unseat Democrats. Win a majority. Then vote to repeal ObamaCare, and we’re on track on all that,” King told HUMAN EVENTS.
I caught up with King in an elevator bank in the hotel where the House Republicans were meeting for their annual retreat. King, wearing an open-collared blue shirt and a black leather jacket, spoke intently about his dogged campaign to fully repeal ObamaCare.
“If there’s anybody in America who has pounded on the repeal of ObamaCare persistently and relentlessly every day, it’s me,” he said.
King’s dedication to repealing ObamaCare comes from a principled standpoint. “I want a country full of liberty, and freedom. And our vitality is diminished by ObamaCare, that’s my Number One argument against it.”

The only problem is the Senate. As long as it's held by the Dems the repeal isn't going anywhere. It will ultimately be up to the Supreme Court to kill it and there is a good chance that will happen in the next 2 years.
Other wise Hope than can get it done.

If you read the entire article on the link I gave, there is another problem...
“I will not concede that the repeal of ObamaCare will not get through the Senate. I believe we have a reasonable chance if there’s a procedure means that can be devised to force a vote on ObamaCare, without being held up by a filibuster. If they take a vote in the Senate that takes a simple majority, I will predict that they will vote to repeal,” said King.
After the vote to repeal, the Republicans have pledged to begin to defund ObamaCare through the Appropriations Committees, which set discretionary spending priorities. King’s strategy is to include the defunding in the appropriations bills to force Obama’s hand.
“We start unfunding the implementation and enforcement of ObamaCare in every appropriations bill,” said King. “At some point, the President is going to be compelled to sign that legislation. When he does that, he has capitulated to our agenda to repeal ObamaCare and accepted that repeal is essentially the will of the people.”
“We can easily completely defund it through the appropriations in 2011 and 2012,” said a confident King. However, King will not rest after defunding ObamaCare. He wants the law fully repealed. “ObamaCare lying there in the authorization becomes a dormant malignancy. It will metastasize if we leave it there. So we must rip it out by the roots,” he told me.
President Obama said he will not sign the repeal bill if it gets to his desk. Again, King is resolute, saying, “We can’t despair because there’s another impossible roadblock.”
King’s final step in his quest to to fully repeal ObamaCare would happen after the 2012 election. “We still have to elect a President who will sign the full repeal,” said King.

There are enough senators up for re-election that they know if they want to keep their jobs they'd better vote ro repeal this.

jvaski: I think they should throw in more health care regulation and the public option !
This would have been the intelligent intent of what we would have thought the health care bill to be and I would agree with it whole heartedly! With the public option of course!!
Given that what they created in the current bill, it has none of these qualities. It is full of regulations against "We the People", including fines and 23 new taxes which have NOTHING to do with Health Care!!! Oh, that's right, that's how they intend to pay for it.
But yes juan, we would all agree with you, I believe. And I would add, repeal the bill and start over.

I'm fine with starting over ...as long as it includes stomping on insurance compamies and providers that are ripping us off !

What I don't understand is why people panic about public health care? it's no big deal, I live with it everyday and it gives peace of mind to many. What is wrong with not losing your house or going bankrupt if you get ill or have an accident.. or having your HMO dump you if you do actually get something... unheard of here. Do you realize who much you are ripped off by hospitals and the pharmaceutical companies? You are over priced for everything... why else would they be paying out so much for the lobbyists to grease the palms of senators and reps? Profit.
There is also the pay option here, if you are wealthy and have the option.. you can pay privately.
There are 45 million people uninsured in America and That seems ok to you that we can spend unlimited trillions on military control of the planet and yet taking care of our own is a fate worse than death?
There are too many parrots and not enough research as far as I can see... do your homework.

... and forgot to include those fat insurance companies to the list...gosh how did that happen?

:Absolutely! Isn't that what many Americans thought this Bill would do? Quite the contrary... it forces us to purchase insurance and they have already RAISED their rates... there should have been a Freeze put on their rates and then forced to lower them!
Finally, we agree on something!
