Although Rep Kratovil voted against Obamacare, he has not signed the 'Discharge Petition' to repeal Obamacare. Obamacare will limit choice, increase the deficit, raise health care costs, expand government bureaucracy, discriminate against low-income workers, mandate insurance coverage and stunt economic growth. It is no wonder that 60% of Americans are in favor of repealing Obamacare. Ask Kratovil to sign this Discharge Petition for a full repeal.
Will Obamacare actually reduce the deficit? President Obama promised his government takeover of health care would not add “one dime to the deficit.” On paper, Obamacare was deficit neutral and only cost $940 billion. However, those estimates relied on questionable budget gimmicks. As it turns out, Obamacare will add to the deficit, increase taxes and, by one estimate, spend nearly $2.5 trillion over the next 10 years.
Does Obamacare bend the cost curve? Despite all the promises that this “reform” would reduce health care costs, the exact opposite is true. The law will increase overall health care spending in the U.S. by $222 billion between now and 2019. Even worse, the law will cause premiums in the non-group market to increase by 10 –13 percent.
Is Obamacare a good deal for seniors? Seniors will suffer under Obamacare. They will have fewer plans and physicians to choose from while paying higher taxes. Amazingly, Obamacare levies a multi-billion dollar tax on many of the brand name prescription drugs that seniors rely upon.
How do doctors fare under Obamacare? No class of American professionals will be more negatively impacted by Obamacare than doctors. They will be subjected to increased regulation from a vast, powerful new health care bureaucracy while becoming increasingly dependent on an unreliable government reimbursement system. Recent polling suggests physicians are increasingly pessimistic about the future, which should concern anyone who goes to the doctor’s office.
Is Obamacare constitutional? A mandate requiring individuals to purchase health insurance is an unprecedented form of federal action. The government has never required people to buy a good or service as a condition of lawful residence in the United States. Such a mandate is unconstitutional. Legal challenges, spearheaded by law-abiding Attorneys General, are moving forward.
In June, Congressman Steve King of Iowa filed a petition that would force the U.S. House of Representatives to vote on repealing Obamacare. We must repeal Obamacare, now! Tell your Member of Congress to sign the petition to repeal Obamacare.

It has nothing to do with the deficit. The bill is unconstitutional. Our government cannot mandate us to spend money. They can already forceably take our money (taxation on our labor) which is also unconstitutional because it is not apportioned (everyone must pay the same amount of taxes).
However, to mandate that we purchase a product from a private business is simply wrong and immoral.
Our government has become evil
They need to Repeal Car insurance laws too they are also unconstitutional... if one does not want it they shouldnt be forced to have it...
cory

Obama is an illegitimate President therefore anything passed under his illegal takeover must be repealed .

You are an idiot Cory. First off this is not a post about car insurance. Second you are "forced" to have car insurance because idiots like you don't think you have to compensate someone when you kill or hurt someone due to your ignorance and negligence. If you were intelligent enough you would understand that having a license and driving is a privilege. Do us all a favor and quit driving.
Kratovil, Obama, Chuck Cook and Jim Ireton can all kiss my a$$!!
i say we repeal obamacare AND obama
make people accountable for theyre debt,and problem solved!!
kratovil ONLY vote against the health care bill because they had enough votes to pass it without his. It was a calculated move.
King's petition forces a vote without a committee considering the bill. So, lets say the petition gets enough signatures and a majority approves repeal. It goes to Obama and he vetoes it.
The end.
You do not have to buy health insurance. If you do not, you pay a tax collected by the IRS. The govt. has the power to tax, given in the constitution.
That's why their doing it this way.
Obamacare is illegal and wrong on so many levels.
There is always the option to not fund it.
Lets stop funding the medicare drug program that is really driving us broke.
Whoa, stop funding Medicare? Your parents must be dead and you are a child.
Your parents should block this website.
5:09.........I said the drug program
@ Bill -
You are required to buy health insurance. If you fail to live up to that requirement, you are then fined by the federal government. Never in the history of our union has the government asserted the authority to fine someone because they refused to buy a product being sold by someone else.
And, for what its worth, the President and his team said this was not a tax, because if so, it violated their 250k pledge. Now though, when arguing before the courts, they say it is a tax. A little double-talk never hurt anyone though, right?
