Scary how a few radical groups that don't even represent the majority views of the people of this country can hold this country's government hostage. They're even eating fellow GOP members up that aren't extreme enough for their taste.

I wonder why the Kochs and the Tea Party didn't attack Medicare its an entitlement program that 6 times as big. Maybe if you are a Tea Partier you can tell me why.

Ah yes the EE-VILLLE Koch brothers. There are two of them, and they tend to have divergent opinions. Contrary to the moonbat portrayal, they are not conjoined twins.

Durn those evil Koch Bros. for their support of gay marriage, legalized pot, and reduced federal spending.

Because it's funded over 45 years of working life at about ~4% of salary to cover us when we can't work.

Maybe you can explain why you hate old people and want to see them die from lack of medical care...

I don't understand why they are complaining about IRS scrutiny, appears they are doing quite well, just from this article Freedom Coalition, Americans for Prosperity, American Commitment, 60 Plus, Generation Opportunity, some very wealthy individuals really don't want health care.

Our democracy at work.
