Spratt Defends Health Care Vote

Published by Bane Windlow at 9:08 pm under Health Care, John Spratt, Nanny State Alert, South Carolina, US House, Upstate

Calling the health care bill approved by House lawmakers “a long way from perfect,” U.S. Rep. John Spratt defended his vote and vowed to work for more changes.

“I voted to send it to the Senate in the hope that a conference will iron out the differences and make the bill better,” the York Democrat said.

“Though it is not without problems, ‘Affordable Health Care for America’ is not the ‘monstrosity’ Mick Mulvaney portrays,” Spratt said.

The Herald

There you go, straight from the horse’s mouth.  The Affordable Health Care for America act is not a monstrosity.  Throwing you in jail for the failure to purchase health insurance either because you cannot afford to or you exercise the freedom to choose not to, is not a monstrosity.  For the first time in American history the Federal government may pass a bill that will jail you for not purchasing a product and that is not a monstrosity.

Is this what voters in the Fifth District sent Jack Spratt to Washington for?

    I didn’t vote for John Spratt and unfortunately I am stuck with him.
    He needs to go.
    Wise up SC and get rid of him.
    When Ralph Norman ran against him all he did was lie and distort things whenever Ralph Norman challenged him.
    As his constituent he doesn’t even respond to email and if you call his office the line is busy or the voice mail is full.
    As for Town Hall Meetings the last one I knew of was in Camden and he just sent an aid…
    Spratt was for the bail outs from day one. I guess Spratt believes that you can bury your head and not face the reality that you can’t spend your way out of debt. I guess that is not his problem being that it is the Tax Payers that the debt is being unloaded on. Party on Congress with your friends that are too big to fail. It won’t be long before this country fails.
