Rep. Harris Supports Repealing the President’s “Job-Destroying Health Care Bill”

July 11, 2012 By Dagger News Service 7 Comments

From the office of Congressman Andy Harris:

Today, Rep. Andy Harris, a physician, voted in support of H.R. 6079 “The Repeal of Obamacare Act” to again attempt to repeal the President’s inherently flawed health care law. The President’s health care law is a middle class tax hike in the midst of the longest period of sustained high unemployment since the Great Depression.

“Repealing the President’s job-destroying health care law will provide the middle class and small business owners much needed tax relief,” said Rep. Andy Harris, M.D. “The burden placed on small business owners and the middle class by this unpopular law is stifling economic growth in our already weak economy. We should be doing everything we can to avoid increasing taxes on the middle class, and to help small business owners grow the economy and create jobs. Repealing the President’s flawed health care bill does just that.”

    Harris – you are so lame. Ashamed you represent my district. But go ahead and just keep repeating the scarey “job killing” mantra just like your fellow Republicans did with “weapons of mass destruction”. Both untrue. You should be embarrassed.

      Elsie, honey, where have you been? I’m going to donate some money to the Harris campaign in honor of you.

      Obamacare is just another tax hike that hurts the middle and lower economic class citizens. Typical of the Dems. Everytime they say ‘let me help you’ someone gets hurt. And its always the economically deprived. No wonder MOM is such an Obama fan.

    Here is what is embarrassing…presented without comment:

    US GDP: ~14.59 trillion (2010)
    http://www.google.com/publicdata/explore?ds=d5bncppjof8f9_&met_y=ny_gdp_mktp_cd&idim=country:USA&dl=en&hl=en&q=united+states+gdp

    Or US GDP per CIA fact book: ~15.04 trillion (est 2011) https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/us.html

    Obamacare costs: $1 trillion over 10 years (This article says it’s 2.6 trillion over 10 years, but I’ll give the pres the benefit of the doubt here) http://dailycaller.com/2012/07/11/analysis-obamacare-to-cost-2-6-trillion-over-first-full-decade/

    Current US debt: 15.8+ trillion (pluses indicate growing)
    US Deficit: 1.3+ Trillion
    Debt as a percentage of GDP (or total econ output) 104.xx+%
    Above three taken from here: http://www.usdebtclock.org/

    Again, presented without further comment.

    Does anyone really believe we can add millions of people to the health care rolls,with many doctors thinking about leaving family care, and patient care is supposed to get better? I agree that health care needs a lot of improvement but not from a bunch of brain dead folks who tell us we have to “pass the health care bill (Obamacare)so we can find out whats in it.Lets just turn over health care to ACORN.

      Can’t turn it over to ACORN. They got caught with their pants down committing fraud.

      On second thought . . . . .
