Republicans agree strongly on their opposition to Obamacare extending health insurance coverage to millions of Americans.
Uninsured learn more about your states health care policies and laws. There are too many stories of families who work hard and can't afford the cost deducted from their pay checks weekly for healthcare.
“They’re afraid to have a showdown with someone who’s tearing up our country,” said Jim DeMint, the former South Carolina senator who now leads the conservative Heritage Foundation. “This is the time. This might be the last off-ramp for us to stop Obamacare before it gets so enmeshed in our culture that it’s impossible to change.”
Outside the Crowne Plaza Westshore, nearly two dozen people with “Hands off my Obamacare” posters stood in protest of the event organized by Heritage Action for America, the political arm of the Heritage Foundation.
Down the street a few hours earlier, a group dedicated to protecting and cheering for Obamacare summoned the media to denounce Heritage Action and its supporters.
“We have one basic message: Don’t repeal our health care. Don’t you dare,” said Brad Woodhouse, president of Americans United for Change, a group created to push back against Republican critics of the Affordable Care Act.
Heritage’s Tampa town hall was the third stop in a nine-city Defund Obamacare national tour, and Woodhouse’s group is organizing pro-Obamacare events at every stop.
“We refuse to let insurance companies go back to denying coverage to millions of Americans who have pre-existing conditions,” Woodhouse said. “We refuse to allow insurance companies make women pay more than men in premiums.
We refuse to have 3.1 million young people kicked off their parents’ insurance. We refuse to cut off 71 million Americans who receive free preventive services because of health reform, such as cancer screenings.”
