What do the American people have to do to refuse Zero’s DeathCare and to shove it back at these traitors? The in-your-face arrogance of the US Congress, please God, will get them voted out of office. Every last arrogant traitor that signs this tyrannical garbage must be sent packing in disgrace.

I know absolutely no one that wants this outrageous Socialist garbage. No one!

Obamacare is all about punishment. Democrats are all about punishment. Do not trust them.

Remember...it's for the "general welfare".....and by the "general welfare" clause of a "living-but-defective" document...
