H.R.3590, The bill that became Obamacare originally a housing tax break for troops

[IXLR8]

The original bill that was approved by the US House of Representatives is HR 3590. It was for our service men and women. The bill passed the Republican House, and was sent to the Senate. The Democratic Senate deleted every bit of text from the bill, and changed it's purpose to their own. This is the original bill that became Obamacare!

Not one comment?

The reason that Senate picked a bill at random, and deleted all of the text, then re-wrote the bill was pretty crappy. All bills authorizing expenditures must originate in the House. The House refused to create a bill for Obamacare. The Senate retaliated by hijacking a bill at random, this one was designed help our veterans of Iraq, and Afghanistan get a tax break on their home purchases. The part that really irks me is that despite the volumes of paperwork associated with Obamacare, they failed to add back in the tax break for the veterans.

Ok, I am off of my soapbox now....

I understand what you are saying, but how do I verify that is what happened?
Lots of weird theories out there. And I would like to believe you, where are the changes to the original?
And wouldn't the Senate be required to negotiate with the House on the revision?
TNX!

I heard this on Hannity. A US Senator was being interviewed and recounted for the audience how it happened. I did my due diligence and found a record of the bill. Google it. Obamacare, the largest cancer ever unleashed on the United States is based on a bill that was hijacked.

You can find many sources showing that the original house resolution was for:

"To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to modify the first-time homebuyers credit in the case of members of the Armed Forces and certain other Federal employees, and for other purposes."

For example:
Bill Summary & Status - 111th Congress (2009 - 2010) - H.R.3590 - CRS Summary - THOMAS (Library of Congress)

Re: H.R.3590, The bill that became Obamacare originally a housing tax break for troop

That is typical of the BS those scoundrels pull and the major reason the President (after Obama leaves office in January) needs the "Line Item Veto." They sneak totally unrelated items into every bill so those items pass with the original item. That's been a major reason why we get these foolish spending bills, pork projects funded and some really ignorant laws passed. Add to that, members of Congress don't actually read the entire bills before voting on them. Their party tells them how to vote and that's what they do.

The whole legislative system is broken and the cure for it is NOT replacing one party with another. They ALL need to go home!

Remember November.
