The GOP wants you sick, dead, and bankrupt

... unless you're a rich corporate donor.

Why else would House Republican leaders be so eager to repeal Obama's health care reform that they've already scheduled a vote for next week?

And if/when a full repeal fails to get past the Senate or the President's desk, they will start hacking away at it piece by piece.

Many of the new health care provisions haven't even taken effect yet, and some won't kick in for a number of years. But the GOP would like to kill the provisions that are already in effect and perform a pre-term abortion on all the other provisions.

A repeal of health care reform could mean that the insurance companies would again be able to discontinue your coverage when you get sick and really need it.

A repeal of health care reform could mean that the insurance companies would again be able to refuse coverage based on pre-existing conditions.

A repeal of health care reform could mean reopening the Medicare donut hole that makes it difficult for some seniors to afford their medications.

A repeal of health care reform could mean that non-rich Americans would again risk financial devastation in the event of a major illness or injury.

Et cetera.

I think former Representative Alan Grayson (R-FL) summed it up best with his own description of the Republican health care plan: "Don't get sick; and if you do get sick, die quickly."

This is what the Republicans want to spend their time on.

And, sadly, this is who the American people voted for two months ago.

Go figure.
