Ratigan is calling BS on a Republican for spreading the meme that repealing the
Health Care law will bring insurance prices "back down".

He agrees it's a flawed policy, but ultimately it's the corporate insurance stranglehold that's responsible.

2. If they where able to repeal the health care bill

(which they will never be able to) I can guarantee that prices will never go down, in fact they will probably sky rocket out of control.

3. Has the Republicreep pushed the meme about repeal being a
"jobs bill" of sorts, as (according to them) the HCR is costing all kinds of jobs?

5. ReTHUGS can't repeal shit
M$Greedia is merely pushing their talking points (as usual). The ReTHUG House voting to repeal does not mean repeal and it will not pass in the Senate. It's a fucking waste of time.

6. Yes - I heard one the other day saying it's "bad for jobs" because employers
can't afford the increased costs. I think everything is going to be under that umbrella. Gotta keep banging that fear drum. Frank Luntz is in the wings waiting to spin every damn thing, I'm sure

4. Yeah, just like cable prices that were supposed to
go down after de-regulation.
