Obama threatens veto of healthcare bills
The Hill
Obama on Monday threatened to veto legislation that would eliminate grants to help states establish the insurance exchanges created by the healthcare reform law.
“The Administration will strongly oppose legislation that attempts to erode the important provisions of the Affordable Care Act that are making health care more affordable and accessible for all Americans,” the Office of Management and Budget said in a policy statement.
“If the President is presented with H.R. 1213, his senior advisors would recommend that he veto the bill,” OMB said of the healthcare bill.
The House is scheduled to take up the legislation this week.
The White House also registered its opposition to a separate bill that would cut off funding for school-based health clinics.
The White House also issued a veto threat Monday evening for the “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act,” saying the bill “unnecessarily restricts women’s reproductive freedoms and consumers’ private insurance options.”
None of the bills are expected to reach Obama’s desk.
Wild Thing’s comment……..
Obama threatens veto of healthcare bills? I thought he was killed by the Seals. Oh wait, that was the other one.
Look at this snake Hussein proclaiming ahead of time he will veto.
I have voted GOP all my voting life. The GOP better grow a backbone! They better do it soon!
Get rid of Obamacare. De-fund it! Kill it! Do what ever it takes to kill it!
This damn obamacare bill has already bugun to affect Medicare provisions. My doctor has had to go to an e-filing system. No more written Rx’s. Now they are emailed to your pharmacy so you cannot shop around. You have to know everybody’s email address. What a shovelfull and this is just the beginning. Damn obama and the Dems/rinos with their Rolls Royce health care.
Tom, oh wow, thank you for sharing all of that.
I agree too this is just the beginning.
Our insurance has gone up and also they have made cuts in some of the things they covered before. It is horrible to see this happening.
