The U.S. Secretary for Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, visited Houston today to promote Obamacare. She wants all uninsured Texans, but young adults especially, to sign up for health insurance under the law.
Governor Rick Perry and other state leaders have been ferocious in their opposition to the Affordable Care Act, also called Obamacare.
But Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has been visiting major Texas cities, where she says local leaders understand the benefits of the law.
In Houston, she met with healthcare leaders and politicians from both parties, like Houston Mayor Annise Parker and Harris County Judge Ed Emmett.

“The law is in place. People are still arguing about whether it should be repealed or shouldn’t be repealed, but it is in place. And in the meantime, here in Harris County we have an inordinate number of underinsured and uninsured people — who right now the taxpayers of Harris County are paying for [their] health care.”
Emmett needs to get the boot, Houston!!
What a lying POS that pol is!
If there’s an “r” after their name eventually they WILL disappoint the conservatives.

Ok yutes... here is the deal. It is such a wonderful thing for you... as it will eventually eat about 70% of your income in the form of mandated premiums. You should be thrilled that 70% of your labor will pay for healthcare for most low income people, all illegal immigrants and most seniors. Thanks a lot guys!!!! Can you see all of your benefits now???
I hate that this bilious bureaucrat shares the same last name as one of my favorite composers. Makes me slightly schizo, you know!
“You’rrrre not doctorrrrs. You’rrrre butcherrrrrs!” —some old medical show
brilliant logic.
so their health care is being paid for already? yes?
and so they are going to voluntarily start paying for it why?
really?
so the only signees are the ones who are going to get the health care free...
which means that the taxpayers of Harris county will still be paying for it.
