History Will Remember These 217 House Republicans for Their InhumanityWhat Paul Ryan and his minions just voted for is immoral.
By John NicholsTwitter Yesterday 3:47 pm
North Carolina Congressman Ted Budd cast an indefensible vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with legislation that is so awful that Budds fellow Republicans were caught scheming to exempt themselves and their staffs from the measures draconian provisions.
But Budd got one thing right. Ill take around 2,000 votes this Congress. Most of them will be forgotten, the Republican congressman said as the vote approached. This is not one of those votes.
Good. The vote by 217 House Republicans to gut the Affordable Care Act (while 20 of their colleagues and 193 Democrats opposed the move) must be remembered as the shameful abandonment of health and humanity that it is. This should become the permanent stain on every member of the House who supported itthe issue that does not to go away.

Those politicians cast their votes kn owning full well that the were part of a manslaughter conspiracy, all for the financial benefit of thousands of rich people who already obscenely wealthy.
