Republican Health Care Plan
 

They want it, just not for you.

That makes perfect sense to me. Let's note vote to give uninsured Americans medical coverage, let's give pet owners a $3,500.00 tax credit instead. :yawn:

Ya just can't make this chit up.

See what kind of silly tricks required these days to try to get a tax cut :doh:

Ive been trying to find the co-sponsers and whom actually wrote this thing with little success but I'd be willing to bet its not strictly a republican idea.

I looked at his voting record and it is pretty solidly conservative

Somehow I get the feeling that this is some sort of stunt.

Well, the pet industry is a multi-billion dollar/year industry. So, does my dog get it's own SS#? Come on, many think Obama is going to pay their mortgage. So, why can I not dream of a tax deduction for my dogs, Moo and Dash? How about my parrots, Wilson and Nellie? I have a cat, Nieko. Also, two guinea pigs, Nibbles and Dakota. Man, I could have a huge tax write off. :yeah:

No co-sponsors . Cotter appears to be putting it forward alone.

For pets.

:har:

Whey yes. Pets are very therapeutic and this can help our health in the long term thus saving money for the government health care program. Now, were is my money for my pooch? :D

What else is there to say ...

This confirms my long time suspicion that the Republicans ARE on crack !!! :nope:

Neither party has the answers.

and the one thing you can count on from any political party... they are all going to lie to you.

fact.

Typical Democrat ... never letting facts get in the way.

This bill (the HAPPY Act) is co-sponsored by Rep. Steve Cohen ... a Democrat.

I know the media doesn't want to report that part, but hey - a 5 second Congressional record search can yield all the answers.Apparently not.

"Did he really say: pets...?"

Well as a pet owner and as a volunteer for pet rescues, I would be very grateful for any tax credits I can get for the health insurance to cover my pets and rescues. :yeah:

Me too. Thanks to the Republicans and Democrats.

Ah, bipartisanship. No good deed goes unpunished.

Thats strange, I looked there yesterday and no co-sponser was listed. Must have gotten updated in the meantime.

Was there all along as far I as can tell.

In fact, the very first article I read about this on - get this - Fox News - mentioned Cohen.
