GOP seeks coverage choices in health law they hate Apr 6, 12:10 PM (ET) By DAVID ESPO
WASHINGTON (AP) - At the prodding of business organizations, House Republicans quietly secured a recent change in President Barack Obama's health law to expand coverage choices, a striking, one-of-a-kind departure from dozens of high-decibel attempts to repeal or dismember it.
Democrats describe the change involving small-business coverage options as a straightforward improvement of the type they are eager to make, and Obama signed it into law. Republicans are loath to agree, given the strong sentiment among the rank and file that the only fix the law deserves is a burial.
"Maybe you say it helps (Obamacare), but it really helps the small businessman," said Rep. Phil Roe, R-Tenn., one of several physician-lawmakers among Republicans and an advocate of repeal.
No member of the House GOP leadership has publicly hailed the fix, which was tucked, at Republicans' request, into legislation preventing a cut in payments to doctors who treat Medicare patients.
All this shows me is that Boner and the rest of the GOPe really don't have a problem with Zerocare. Just look at how easily they carved out a benefit for their special interest here while leaving the rest of Americans screwed.

Can anything good come from this behemoth government program, sold to the un-wanting American public through lies and deceit? Everything they've said about the program has turned out to be false!

ZeroCare is designed to extend the nanny state's intrusion into every aspect of your life, justifying it in the name of providing healthcare justice.
It creates a massive database that would have made the Soviets and Nazis jealous.
