Congress recently passed health care reform. Several congressmen voted against this, including the ‘Scumbag of the Garden State’, Congressman Chris Smith. Smith spoke to congress about the bill. Here is what he said:
“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to respectfully ask that my colleagues reject ObamaCare which, if enacted into law, will seriously undermine, erode, damage and, I believe, even destroy
health care in America.”
This bill will provide more comprehensive, affordable and accountable health care for all Americans. It’s needed.
“On process, the near total lack of transparency and the misuse of majority party power to ram ObamaCare through the Congress makes it the quintessential example of what is so dreadfully wrong in Washington.”
The Democrats spent the past year trying to compromise with the Republicans. Smith didn’t want a bipartisan compromise. He wanted things his way or the highway. And his way is not New Jersey’s way.
“No wonder millions of people, including TEA Party activists, are demanding accountability and defeat of ObamaCare.
”
Wow, Congressman Smith, are you defending the TEA party? The TEA party, upset at change, hurled discriminatory slurs at politicians, threatened them with violence and vandalized politicians’ property. That sounds like terrorism. Thus, Chris Smith supports terrorists.
“ObamaCare collects new taxes, fees, and shifts billions of dollars from Medicare for 4 full years before benefits kick in.”
Wrong again, Smith. Health care reform will lower the cost of our current broken health system, and lower the debt.
“Senior citizens and disabled persons will lose certain health benefits they now enjoy…Medicare Advantage is used by over 11 million people nationwide, including 15,983 people in my congressional district alone.”
Health care reform provides financial relief for senior citizens and their medical needs…some of those reforms begin this year. As for the 15, 983 people in our congressional district on Medicare Advantage (which you brought up), what about the tens of thousands of people in our congressional district that can’t afford any health care? This new bill provides health care, the same kind that you receive as a member of congress, to everyone in our district. Chris Smith doesn’t want his own constitutes to have the same health care rights that he has.
A final look at the facts: In 2007, Chris Smith voted against Children’s Health Care. In 2008, he voted against mental Health Care. This past week, he voted against Health Care reform for all Americans. Chris Smith supports insurance companies at the expense of his own constituents. It’s time to fire Chris Smith from his job.
