Colorado Represetative Ed Perlmutter used the Aurora massacre to justify his position on Obamacare.
That’s just sick.

Revealing Politics reported:
Colorado Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter Monday night cited the July 20 mass killing in an Aurora, Colo. movie theater as one justification for passing President Obama’s Affordable Care Act in 2010.
The health care overhaul law, deemed “Obamacare,” by conservatives will “stop the discrimination against people with prior illnesses or injuries — or, say, some of the folks who were shot in the theater,” Perlmutter said during the meeting, conducted via Facebook and over a teleconference.
“They would be uninsurable now that they’ve had that wound, but under the Affordable Care Act they can’t be discriminated against starting in 2014.”
Perlmutter was also one of the first politicians to politicize the massacre after the shootings.

As the Supreme Court said, it is OUR responsibility to vote the POLITICIANS who voted for Obamacare OUT OF OFFICE. If we want to save our Constitution, we must be responsible citizens. NO EXCEPTIONS — WE MUST VOTE THEM ALL OUT!

Any gun owner who has been paying attention to what Barry has been doing these last 3+ years has been stocking up on ammo.

Good Luck Finding a Doctor under Obamacare
[...]In truth, prospects are bleak that you will be able to keep your doctor and even bleaker that there will be enough doctors to meet demand under Obamacare.
The health overhaul law expands health insurance to millions more people without significantly increasing the number of physicians or other providers. And Obamacare has exacerbated the physician shortage because many are considering leavingthe practice of medicine altogether rather than practice under the dictates of Washington bureaucracies.[....]

Things the left are telling you. And this massive national tax will prevent small businesses to grow and in some cases SHUT DOWN ALL TOGETHER.
Monkey Wrench commented:
Who should pay for the medical care for these victims? Many of them have medical bills that will be hundreds of thousands of dollars and they do not have adequate insurance. The shooter doesn’t have the money, so it’s pointless to sue him.
Who should pay?
tommy mc donnell commented:
#16…evidently you think the people that didn’t shoot them?
“stop the discrimination againist people with prior illness or injury,” perlmutter shows a great understanding of how insurance works. there is a risk factor in insurance coverage, the greater the risk the higher the insurance costs. if the insurance company can’t make a profit the go out of business. if politicans don’t like this socialistic way of paying for medical treatment outlaw it.
bitterclinger commented:
Oh, yeah, ’cause when previous gunshot victims arrived at hospitals around the country before 2012, they were turned away because there was no national-health-coverage plan.
*looks to ceiling*
Winston Wolfe commented:
Yeah, because a pre-existing illness is the same thing as getting shot up in a movie theater.
Weapons-grade stupidity.

In Afghanistan, an Aurora Every Week
Imagine for a moment that almost once a week for the last six months somebody somewhere in this country had burst, well-armed, into a movie theater showing a superhero film and fired into the audience. That would get your attention, wouldn’t it? James Holmes times 21? It would dominate the news. We would certainly be consulting experts, trying to make sense of the pattern, groping for explanations. And what if the same thing had also happened almost once every two weeks in 2011? Imagine the shock, imagine the reaction here.

If the left want to say something they should read this.
Pray for our Troops.
