Rethug Attorney General Suthers to challenge Health Care Reform
Colorado Attorney General John Suthers is joining a national lawsuit to try to block federal health care legislation -- over the objections of Gov. Bill Ritter and the Democrats who control the state Legislature.

Is there any way to recall this SOB?

1. Suthers using tax dollars to push agenda of Catholic Bishops
Edited on Tue Mar-23-10 09:53 AM by harvey007
Suthers is pursuing this lawsuit, at taxpayer-expense, on behalf of the Bishops of the Catholic Church and Republican party extremists.

He claims to be against the health care reform bill because it requires most Americans to buy health insurance, but that is a lie.

He knows very well the bill contains a "religious conscience" exemption so that anyone who really, really doesn't want to see a doctor or go to a hospital can join a religion that opposes modern medicine, and therefore, be exempt from having to get health insurance.

And anyone can easily establish a religion (insert name here).

Suthers needs to be reminded that approx. 900,000 Colorado residents are uninsured. Many of us have been shut out out of the system because we have pre-existing conditions or because we can't afford the steep premiums charged by insurance companies. People are suffering and dying because they don't have access to health care.

The health care reform bill passed last Sunday provides numerous benefits and consumer protections to all of us. It needs to be supported and improved on, not overturned.

Who is paying for Suthers' health care insurance? The taxpayers of the State of Colorado! What a hypocrite he is!

2. I'm ready to throw his ass out
He's not my AG. Never was. Never will be.

I refuse to recognize Suthers as the legitimate Colorado's Attorney General.

I hope they can put together legislation in the state to stop this AG suing nonsense.
