While people suffer and die without health insurance....

While people suffer and die without health insurance, the Republicans are going after Ohio's Democrats for supporting the health care reform bill.

The Lancaster Eagle Gazette:

The Republican Party has launched a political attack against three Ohio Democrats they say cast the decisive votes for a $1.1 trillion health care reform bill that the GOP claims will cost American jobs.

The Republican National Committee and the National Republican Congressional Committee said Reps. Zack Space, Mary Jo Kilroy and Steve Driehaus gave House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California the majority needed to pass the health care bill Saturday night, 220-215.

"Together, they gave Pelosi a win, but on Election Day they will pay a price," NRCC spokesman Tory Mazzola said.....

The Republicans are full of baloney. Every single day the GOP makes up lies about President Obama, Democrats, and the Democratic legislation. The Republicans are without ideas and are like and empty can---- "An empty can makes the most noise." They have NOTHING to offer the American people except the same old same old.

The Republicans just don't care. Here is some information from the Dayton Business Journal that Ohio's Republicans just choose to ignore:

Nearly one-third of Ohioans under age 65 went without health insurance sometime during the past two years, according to a report released Tuesday.

Approximately 29 percent, or 2.9 million, Ohio residents were uninsured during the time frame, according to Families USA, a nonprofit group that advocates for affordable health care....

Ohio's Republicans don't care if you can't get treatment for cancer or diabetes. They don't care if your child has strep throat but you can't afford the medicine. The GOP doesn't care if you've been denied health care because you had breast cancer. They don't care if you can't get a mammogram because you have no insurance. As long as the Ohio Republicans get their political contributions from lobbyists and insurance PACs, they'll keep fighting against you having health insurance.

Does Boehner work for his constituents or for his campaign donors? Just asking.

Is Boehner working for people or corporations and lobbyists????? As long as Boehner and his Republicans keep fighting against health care reform, they'll continue to get those big donations from insurance companies, drug companies, and lobbyists. Nice job, Boehner. Keep filling those campaign coffers while people suffer and die.

or Residents of his district: (800) 582-1001


Don't let Boehner think he has done a good job fighting against health care.
