What "Stability" Means To Dave Loebsack…

Is this what “stability” looks like to Dave Loebsack?

• $500 BILLION IN MEDICARE CUTS. (Shailagh Murray and Lori Montgomery, “With Senate ‘fixes’ bill, GOP sees last chance to change health-care reform,” The Washington Post, 3/24/2010)

• $504 A YEAR PREMIUM INCREASES FOR YOUNG AMERICANS. Americans younger than 35 who try to buy their own insurance will pay $42/month ($504/year) more under ObamaCare, according to a study by RAND Health. (Carla K. Johnson, “Health Premiums May Rise 17% For Young Adults Buying Own Insurance,” Associated Press, 3/29/2010)

• $12,753 COST PER TAXPAYER OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS. The latest CBO cost projection for ObamaCare has the law’s price tag at $1.76 trillion over the next ten years. That averages out to about for $12,753 every American taxpayer (about 138 million taxpayers in America with positive adjusted gross income). (Phillip Klein, “CBO: ObamaCare to Cost $1.76 Trillion Over 10 Years,” The Washington Examiner, 3/13/2012; David S. Logan, “Summary of Latest Federal Individual Income Tax Data,” The Tax Foundation, 10/24/2011)

• $525 BILLION IN NEW TAXES, FEES AND PENALTIES ON FAMILIES AND SMALL BUSINESSES. (Douglas W. Elmendorf, “Letter to Nancy Pelosi,” Congressional Budget Office, 3/20/2010)

• 20 MILLION AMERICANS COULD LOSE EMPLOYER-SPONSORED HEALTHCARE, EVEN ACCORDING TO CBO. (J. Lester Feder, “CBO: ACA Could Jeopardize Workplace Coverage,” Politico, 3/15/2012)

• MEDICARE-GUTTING BOARD OF UNELECTED BUREAUCRATS: “WOULD LEAD TO A REDUCTION IN ACCESS TO CARE”: “The Independent Payment Advisory Board, created under the health care law to help control Medicare costs, lacks flexibility to do much more than cut provider payments that would lead to a reduction in access to care, witnesses told a House Ways and Means panel March 6.” (Ralph Lindeman, “IPAB Would Reduce Access to Care, Witnesses Tell Ways and Means Panel,” Bloomberg, 3/7/2012)

ObamaCare – with its mandates, regulations, and taxes – is here to stay and the only way Iowa families can get rid of it is if they fire Dave Loebsack.

NRCC COMMENT: “Dave Loebsack has a strange definition of ‘stability.’ Stability to Iowans doesn’t mean Medicare cuts, tax increases and increased costs. The court decision means the only way to stop ObamaCare is to defeat Democrats, including Loebsack, who voted for ObamaCare’s Medicare cuts and tax increases.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Andrea Bozek
