Boehner vows to do everything he can to "prevent Obamacare from being implemented"
Source: crooks and Liars.

So that we're clear here, Boehner is prepared to shut down the entire federal government to prevent the following:

* Non-discriminatory coverage for all Americans (e.g., no more pre-existing conditions exclusions)
* Government assistance to make insurance costs affordable for individuals
* Coverage of children until they reach age 26
* Preventive care and wellness
* Elimination of lifetime and annual limits on coverage
* Expanded Medicaid coverage for the poor

These are just a few benefits under the Affordable Care Act. Whether or not you believe there was a better way to go with this, these are still very real, very important benefits, especially elimination of pre-existing conditions exclusions.

John Boehner has vowed to shut down the government to stop this from happening. The entire government. He justifies it this way:

"Our goal is to have a smaller, less costly, and more accountable government here in Washington, DC," Boehner told reporters. "Our goal is not to shut down the government."

A less costly government? Pretty laughable coming from the man who wants to make the Bush tax cuts permanent at a greater cost than the entire 10-year bill for "Obamacare".

5. YES.You couldn't be any clearer.
It is in their wiring.

It's Greed Is Good.
It's ALL ABOUT ME.

It's the union voters who vote Republican because they don't want to share a damn thing.

Damn I'm really angry right now.

6. Not a single MSM reporter will ask Boner why he denies the taxpayer
from having what we provide him.

It's the disdain for the middle class.

GOD, I'm so READY to riot in the streets.
