SPEAK OUT: Share Thoughts on Health Care Reform

After hearing about Republicans' stance on defunding health care reform and a possible government shutdown, a blogger on Patch posted his reaction on Wednesday afternoon.

"I cannot understand this, unless it is becoming more and more obvious that Health Insurance prices are coming DOWN under Obamacare!" wrote David Arthur Liddle in his blog David The Silver Fox. "Even if they do go up, as Republicans claim, it will because of BETTER coverage." Read more in the blog post: Republicans vote to defund The Affordable Health Care Act (Obamacare). 

House Republicans are planning for a Friday vote that could defund Obamacare, according to The Washington Post. Action must be taken by Sept. 30 to avoid any impact on federal government agencies.
