"I am committed to doing everything that I can do and our team can do to prevent Obamacare from being implemented," Boehner said. "When I say everything, I mean everything."

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".

1. I know a way.

"Our goal is to have a smaller, less costly, and more accountable government."

I know a way to make government smaller. Let's fire some senators who think it's their job to stop everyone from doing their job.

If he really wanted to make government smaller, he wouldn't be in ... ah government.

5. Right indeed. The GOOP leadership her in GA opposed the stimulus, but later begged the Gov't for a

handout after they ran the state budget into the ground.

8. I am with you about Health Care I can not for the life of me

understand why republicans and tea bags do not want people to have the type of Health Care that most of those in congress have. Is it because they know they are losing the battle of being competent and they want to kill off as many Democrats and sane republicans they can. Which would give them more control.
