gop does nothing to stop sequester ? uh...not true

In recent years Senate Republicans have used the filibuster to block over 380 bills and nominations.

So...I wouldn't say they did nothing. They have actively used the filibuster as an obstruction tool to prevent any meaningful progress.

As for your bill:

You've got to be kidding...Did you read it?

You don't have to look far to see why it died on the vine.

Repealing mandatory funding to states to establish American Health Benefit Exchanges:

The Reconciliation bill would strike the unlimited direct appropriation provided through the government takeover of health care for grants to states to facilitate the purchase of qualified health plans in newly created exchanges and rescind any unobligated funds. According to CBO, this provision would save $14.5 billion over ten years. Similar legislation (H.R. 1213) was approved in the House on May 3, 2011, by a vote of 238-183.

REPEALING PREVENTION AND PUBLIC HEALTH FUND: The Reconciliation bill would terminate the "Prevention and Public Health Fund" created by the Democrats' government takeover of health care. According to CBO, this provision would save $11.9 billion over ten years.

Repeal of Medicaid and CHIP maintenance of effort requirements under PPACA: Under the Democrats' government takeover of health care, states are required to maintain eligibility and enrollment policies for Medicaid or CHIP as a condition of receiving federal funding for Medicaid. States cannot change income eligibility levels or implement new enrollment policies than were in effect as of March 23, 2010. This makes it more difficult for states to implement program integrity measures. The Reconciliation package removes this restriction, saving $600 million over ten years.

And there was much much more.

And then there was this:

RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS: The Reconciliation package would increase pension contributions by 5 percent of salary over five years for current federal employees.

That looks like a 5% pay cut to federal employees to me for no additional retirement benefits. WTF is wrong with you people?

And you gotta LOVE the embedded propagandist statement the Democrats' government takeover of health care

That must be in there 20 times.

Repeating this lie over and over will not make it true.

The "government" has not taken over health care.

Health insurance will still be provided has it always has been by private industry....unfortunately.

But, regardless, the Democrats are not going to stand by and allow the Republicans to gut the Affordable Care Act.

It is important to keep this situation in perspective. On top of this, the President was dishonest in his portrayal of the origination and his approval of the sequester, as you can see here:

www.washingtonpost.com

What we have are two dishonest groups of individuals (republicans and democrats) trying to negotiate with another dishonest individual (Obama) in order to avoid this sequester which most all of them supported and the president actually proposed. If you don't vote differently in the next election, you have received your just "rewards".
