Hell Freezes Over: Republicans Secretly Vote to Help Obamacare

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2014/04/06/hell-freezes-republicans-secretly-vote-help-obamacare/

For once, Obamacare isn't outright rejected by House Republicans.
Republicans actually showed some common sense and voted in secret to make improvements to Obamacare.
Happening as the result of a voice vote without debate, Republicans have done something shocking: making a subtle yet significant change to Obamacare to expand coverage choices, at the pleading of many business organizations and leaders.
The change was tucked, at the Republicans’ request, into a piece of legislation which prevented cuts in the payments to doctors who treat Medicare patients. It seems odd, but the Republican party actually sought to help the American people. The change eliminated a cap on the deductibles for small group policies which are offered inside the law’s health care exchanges as well as in state’s own healthcare exchanges;
 the cap was originally set at $2,000 for individuals and $4,000 for families. Republicans claimed that they sought the change because they wanted small businesses to offer high-deductible plans that could be purchased by individuals who also have different health savings accounts.
while good news you have to consider for years up to recently they were still spewing the same rhetoric about repeal that plan they have to replace has yet to surface in any form other than Ryan vouchers. but this is if anything a necessity to stay alive than an empathetic realization of the inhumane ideas they have been supporting, i think like 2010 they make these claims and if elected go right for our throats with their previous real agenda and we're left with where's the love?
they cannot be trusted to do anything but lie to us, there is no change of mind because they are out of teir minds if they think we'll believe them and no change of heart because their mouths and laws have shown them not to have one, just egotistical arrogance, and that is a sure recipe for their prosperity and our being kicked to the curb without a view. recognize
UPDATE: they now have voted 55 times to re-peal ACA, that alone disqualifies them from even taking tours of gov't buildings
