Legislation Will Cost Michiganders $1.2 Billion In Additional Medicaid Expenses Two years ago, liberal United States Senator Debbie Stabenow provided President Barack Obama with the 60th and final vote for his job-killing healthcare bill, which saddled the Wolverine State with $1.2 billion in additional Medicaid expenses. Faced with the possibility of insurers leaving the state, the Wolverine State applied for a waiver from fully implementing the ominous $2.5 trillion law. Unfortunately, the un-elected bureaucrats at Health and Human Services (HHS) rejected their request. As The Hill reports: “The Health and Human Services Department on Monday denied a sixth state’s request for an adjustment to certain rules under the new healthcare law. HHS rejected Michigan’s request for an adjustment to the law’s medical loss ratio (MLR) requirements. The law requires insurance plans for individuals to meet an 80 percent MLR, meaning they must spend 80 percent of their premiums on…
NRSC Launches New Web Video: Integrity Matters, Ben Nelson
Two years ago, Senator Ben Nelson cut a backroom deal with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid – which has often been referred to as the Cornhusker Kickback – that enabled him to provide President Obama with the 60th and final vote for his $2.5 trillion government-run healthcare bill. Today, Nebraskans as still reeling from the devastating effects of this job-killing healthcare law. For example, The Hill has reported that ObamaCare could soon undermine farmers’ cooperatives, which provides health insurance for thousands of farmers and their families in the Cornhusker State. Not to mention a recent story from the Des Moines Register found that American Enterprise Group will soon lay off 70 workers in Omaha due to the burdensome regulations of ObamaCare. And, a Wall Street Journal report found that the conscience clause in the healthcare law is so weak that it may cause religious organizations to either cut employees…
WAIVER DENIED: Obama Administration Denies Florida’s Waiver From Bill Nelson’s $2.5 Trillion Healthcare Law
Legislation Will Cost Floridians Nearly $13 Billion In Additional Medicaid Expenses Two years ago, after admitting to Floridians that ObamaCare would slash $500 billion from Medicare, liberal United States Senator Bill Nelson provided President Barack Obama with the 60th and final vote for his job-killing healthcare bill, which saddled the Sunshine State with nearly $13 billion in additional Medicaid expenses. Faced with the possibility of insurers leaving the state, the Sunshine State applied for a waiver from fully implementing the ominous $2.5 trillion law. Unfortunately, the un-elected bureaucrats at Health and Human Services (HHS) rejected their request. As The Hill reports: “The Obama administration on Thursday rejected Florida’s request for a waiver from Democrats’ healthcare law. Florida is the fifth state whose insurers have been denied an exemption from the medical loss ratio provision that requires them to spend at least 80 percent of premiums on medical care or…
If Virginians Want To See Who Tim Kaine Will Stand With In The Senate, See Who He Is Standing With Tonight
Electing Tim Kaine A Top Priority For Liberal New York Senator Chuck Schumer Despite his effort to re-invent himself as a moderate Democrat in Virginia after serving as the number one cheerleader for President Obama’s big government agenda in Washington, former DNC Chairman Tim Kaine’s actions continue to tell a much different story than his campaign trail rhetoric. Chairman Kaine will be feted this evening at a fundraiser in Washington hosted by one of K Street’s top special interest lobbyists and standing by Kaine’s side tonight helping him raise money will be none other than top Senate liberal and avowed partisan, Senator Chuck Schumer. “If Virginians want to know whose interests Tim Kaine will serve if elected to the Senate, they don’t need to look any further than to see who he is standing with in Washington tonight and who he has stood with on every major big government issue…
Bill Nelson Tries To Cover Up His Partisan Record By Supporting The “No Labels” Movement
HYPOCRISY ALERT Nelson Has Voted With President Obama Over 97 Percent Of The Time Yesterday, in an attempt to mislead Floridians from his lockstep support of President Obama’s failed agenda, liberal United States Senator Bill Nelson announced he was supporting the “no-labels” movement. Given that Bill Nelson has supported Barack Obama’s tax-and-spend agenda – which includes the failed $825 billion stimulus and government-run healthcare – over 97 percent of this time, it’s clear Nelson is trying to cover up his long, liberal record in Congress. “Bill Nelson has supported Barack Obama’s job-killing agenda over 97 percent of the time and this latest move by Nelson is a political stunt aimed at distracting Floridians from his fiercely partisan record,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox. BACKGROUND … Bill Nelson Is A Fierce Partisan In 2010, Nelson Voted For President Obama’s Position 98% Of The Time. (CQ, www.cq.com,…
FLASHBACK: Chairman Kaine Was Obama’s #1 Cheerleader For His Partisan, Job-Killing Healthcare Bill
Last week, while debating George Allen, former DNC Chairman Tim Kaine made the bizarre claim that the Chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee “was not the most partisan job in America,” which is a remarkable statement given that Kaine once instructed his fellow Democrats to campaign on ObamaCare, and said Democrats up for reelection were “crazy” to distance themselves from President Obama or Speaker Pelosi. Virginians have expressed opposition to ObamaCare, but that didn’t stop Chairman Kaine from declaring that President Obama’s $2.5 trillion job-killing, government-run healthcare would become one of Obama’s greatest achievements. CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO TIM KAINE “Given that Tim Kaine once instructed his rank-and-file Democrats to campaign on Obamacare, it’s remarkable that he still believes his chairmanship at the DNC was not the most partisan job in America,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “Not only was Kaine the number one cheerleader…
Not A “Partisan Job” Chairman Kaine? Flashback – Kaine Was Obama’s #1 Cheerleader In Washington
In his debate against George Allen yesterday, former DNC Chairman Kaine offered a number of dubious claims, but perhaps the one that raised the most eyebrows was his statement that the Chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee “was not the most partisan job in America.” Kaine would be hard-pressed to find one of his liberal allies in Washington to agree with him because the reality is that he tirelessly campaigned for President Obama’s failed $825 billion stimulus and his $2.5 trillion job-killing healthcare bill. If that wasn’t enough, Kaine on numerous occasions in the past even called his fellow Democrats “crazy” for pushing back on Obama’s failed agenda. “It’s amazing that Tim Kaine has become so out of touch with reality that he believes his chairmanship at the DNC was not the most partisan job in America,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “Between his fierce support…
Ben Nelson Votes To Give Anti-Second Amendment Obama Nominee A Lifetime Appointment To The Federal Bench
Just as he did with the failed $825 billion stimulus and government-run healthcare, U.S. Senator Ben Nelson sided once again with President Barack Obama today and voted in support of his controversial judicial nominee, Caitlin Halligan, for a lifetime appointment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. While Senate Republicans ultimately blocked Halligan’s nomination, Nelson’s vote in support came despite questions raised regarding her anti-Second Amendment positions and controversial positions towards prosecuting the war on terror. The National Rifle Association (NRA), among others, outlined their opposition to Halligan’s nomination, specifically citing — “Our opposition is based on Ms. Halligan’s attacks on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans.” Remarkably, Nelson recently said the government has a limited role in regulating the ownership of guns. “Votes likes this are the difference between politicians like Ben Nelson who like to give lip service to the Second Amendment, versus actually…

Casey Votes To Give Anti-Second Amendment Obama Nominee A Lifetime Appointment To The Federal Bench
Just as he did with the failed $825 billion stimulus and government-run healthcare, liberal U.S. Senator Bob Casey sided once again with President Barack Obama today and voted in support of his controversial judicial nominee, Caitlin Halligan, for a lifetime appointment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. While Senate Republicans ultimately blocked Halligan’s nomination, Casey’s vote in support came despite questions raised regarding her anti-Second Amendment positions and controversial positions towards prosecuting the war on terror. The National Rifle Association (NRA), among others, outlined their opposition to Halligan’s nomination, specifically citing — “Our opposition is based on Ms. Halligan’s attacks on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans.” Remarkably, in 2006 Casey bragged about being a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. “Votes likes this are the difference between politicians like Bob Casey who like to give lip service to the Second Amendment on the campaign…
