Dean of the House John Dingell schools Republicans for 41st attempt to gut Obamacare
Today House Republicans tried for the 41st time to dismantle the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Dean of the House John Dingell, someone I am proud to call a friend, stood up and proceeded to dress down the anti-Obama tea party freaks that have come to dominate the Republican Party. He was addressing them about House Bill 2775 which would prevent subsidies from being distributed under the ACA until a system is devised to verify participant eligibility. As Congressman Dingell so eloquently put it, those protections and verifications are already in the ACA. But that didn’t stop the GOP (with the help of five Democrats, oddly enough) from passing the bill 235-191.
He started his statement with “Here we go again!”

"We've seen this song and dance before- as I've mentioned, this is the 41st time we've engaged in this nonsense wasting about a million and a half dollars each hour we're doing this!"
THANK YOU, JOHN DINGELL!
