Adam Kinzinger: Defunding Obamacare Will Cost Republicans House Majority (VIDEO)
'WE'VE LOST THE WAR'
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) warned his colleagues Wednesday that shutting down the government over Obamacare might cost Republicans the House majority in 2014.
Speaking at an event hosted by the Illinois chapter of Americans For Prosperity, Kinzinger explained at length why he felt a faction of conservatives in both the House and Senate were wrong to suggest that a continuing resolution -- which would keep the federal government open past Sept. 30 -- should be blocked if it includes funding for the Affordable Care Act.
"Potentially there will be a collapse of will to keep the government shut down because soldiers are not getting paid, and all this other stuff’s happening, and we turn around and lose 10-20 seats in 2014," Kinzinger said. "And whether we win the battle or not, we’ve lost the war because Nancy Pelosi’s speaker of the House."

Reid will call the bill a racist attempt to crush Obama's legacy.PrintSmith wrote: Don't have to shut down the government to defund the Unaffordable Care Act, currently slated to cost over $2.5 Trillion over the next 10 years according to the latest CBO estimates. That is, unless the Democrats are willing to shut it down over funding for a legislative act that the majority of the citizens of the Union wish to have repealed anyway. The Republicans can, and should, pass a bill that funds all of government except for the Unaffordable Care Act and send it along to Reid in the Senate to see what he does with it when the ball is in the Senate's court.

ALL because of the healthcare freeloaders.....?
AND not because people accept ridiculously high prices for good and services in this industry because they think their insurance will cover it? (even though their insurance goes up next year, but that is next year)

Yeah birdbrain...The Freeloaders. That $25 apsrin you get at the emergency room cost you or your insurance company $25 because the 24 people before you didn't pay a dime for thiers...And they didn't have insurance.
Do you even know what you stand for, or do you just repeat what the RightWing tells you-No matter how contridictory it is?
Obviously, yours (assuming you have insurance?) and my hospital rates will drop dramatically when everyones covered...
