Why to vote

Just try to get it past the Senate, motherfuckers.

Come on, poor people - we can't afford much, but we CAN afford to vote most of the House out in November. It's a free activity.

They should also add in this vote if they don't get their work done, they don't get paid. Their indecion and indecisiveness costs all of us money.

Mostly I agree. Although, I do recognize when some legislators are actually trying to do something to help the populace and others are cockblocking them to play games. In this case, I sure wouldn't mind seeing the mandate reformed, but the entire thing repealed? The House GOP is banking on the voting public being dumb enough to NOT see the benefits this legislation provides to their poor asses, even flawed (i.e., coverage of adult children to 26, no exclusion for preexisting conditions) - and they might be right, who knows.
