With the exception of Medicaid, yes. Medicaid should be abolished.
wow, that's just crazy. so it didn't bother you that indigent people were crowding emergency rooms thanks to the EMTALA? It didn't bother you that these costs were being passed on to everyone else? It doesn't bother you that we have a Medicare Part D we can't afford to pay for? It didn't bother you that healthcare spending took up 16% of GDP?
Of course not, and that wasn't the intent of yesterday's vote.
It's to get votes on record so you can vote OUT the bastids who want ObamCare.
And it took 33 votes in the House to figure that out, costing the taxpayers around $50 million? Seriously? the truth is that the tea party has taken the R's off the deep end. This is to the point of bat poop crazy.

No people like this poster are the ones you see in t-party rallies waving their misspelled "hands off my medicare" banners.
It's not repealed yet nor will it be. Harry Reid just closes his eyes if he doesn't like something - like a budget for example.
Funny, I never considered combining two verbs used in the present tense to signify that one thing is to be done now and another at some possible future date.
Perhaps;
"Repeal and Then We'll Start Thinking About Replacing... Maybe"

Yes, because we didn't hear the Republicans screeching the other 32 times they held this exact same vote. God help them that they do any REAL work in the House, not when they can simply vote and revote and revote again and again and again on the same issue, wasting time and money. I guess there is just nothing else of importance for them to work on, huh?
Real conservatives have NEVER used the word 'replace'. We want it gone, period, every single bit of it. We want absolutely nothing to do with it and most assuredly don't want the idiotic, pathetic, bloated fools in government to have their filthy hands on it.

While not as catchy a bit more accurate.
Nor have you considered that in this case both were to happen in the future as in: we plan/want to repeal and replace versus we are repealing and replacing.
Are you sure you want to go there? Do you REALLY want to start talking about wasted tax dollars? Consider this one word before you answer: Solyndra.
I'm not going to defend the Obama administration on Solyndra, but as a business person I will say that sometimes you gamble and lose with investments, but if you never take a chance, you never have a chance of success either. That said, trying to compare Solyndra to 33 completely POINTLESS efforts to vote down the ACA, when both sides knew it would die in the Senate, is ridiculous. You might have well flushed the $50 million they spent on the house healthcare votes down the toilet. If they want to grand stand fine, but I resent the he** out of them doing it with my tax dollars. Thirty three times is overkill, don't you think?
