8 More In Congress Sign On For Obamacare Repeal


'Pulled out by the roots' plan now has support from 133


They include U.S. Reps. Jo Ann Emerson of Missouri, Frank Wolf of Virginia, George Radanovich of California, Steve Austria of Ohio, Greg Walden of Oregon, Frank D. Lucas of Oklahoma, Adrian Smith of Nebraska and Jeff Fortenberry of Nebraska-- the latest members of Congress to sign on to a plan to repeal Obamacare.


Its goal is to "pull out by the roots" the legislation that, among other things, will require citizens to provide their "Body Mass Index" rating to the government and purchase "government-approved" health insurance whether they want it or not.


WND reported on the plan by U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, last week when his discharge petition had the support of 109 members of the House, exactly half the minimum it would need to advance.


There now are 133.


Advocates say constituents need to call their representatives to tell them to get on board right away so that the petition is positioned to move forward whether or not the GOP becomes the majority in theHouse after the 2010 fall elections.


The move by King also has prompted an online petition campaign to rally the public to the cause.

Did you hear that the Obama care will Require the establisment of BMI or Body Mass Index rating for all Americans?
When you get something "free" from the government, it takes away your rights!
J.T. must be nervous rigth about now.

Doesn't your regular insurance company know your BMI? Sheesh, you guys are wackos. And you don't have to purchase gov. insurance but you are required to have insurance. Seems like a perfectly sensible thing to do considering you HAVE to be treated if you show up in ER.

I don't have insurance-- I pay my own way, and I'm still money ahead. I go to the dr and pay cash when I leave. I had an ER visit last year-- paid all the bills and it cost me less than 1 mo. of family insurance premiums.
But I HAVE to buy this, because otherwise, I'm UNINSURED?
Stuff it.
