WASHINGTON (AFP) Despite fierce opposition, the White House and top Democratic allies in the Senate on Thursday predicted they would pass the most sweeping health care overhaul in decades by late November.
And President Barack Obama signaled that opposition to his plan -- chiefly from Republicans -- would not derail his goal of a comprehensive remaking of the way the world's richest country manages medicine.
"If there are real concerns about any aspect of my plan, let's address them. If there are real differences, let's resolve them," said the president.
"But we have talked this issue to death, year after year, decade after decade, and the time for talk is winding down."
Vice President Joseph Biden predicted that the Congress -- which rebuffed Obama's July deadline for action -- would approve a comprehensive bill long before the Thanksgiving holiday in late November.
"I think we'll have a bill before Thanksgiving," Biden, a former senator, told NBC television, one day after President Barack Obama's clarion call for action in a speech to a rare joint session of the US Congress.

I smell a rodent on such a "breakthrough".
The Dems are interested in separating me from my Dr, my healthplan, my property, and my way of life.
Nothing changes that.

one day after President Barack Obama's
carrion call for action in a speech to a rare joint session of the US Congress...
They used "clarion", but the correct word in this case is "carrion".
carrion:
noun
1. dead and putrefying flesh.
2. rottenness; anything vile.

This is what Clinton thought in 1994. Didn't happen.

The wheels on the bus are falling off
Falling off, falling off
The wheels on the bus are falling off
All around Obama.
The riders on the bus say "Lie, lie, lie,
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie,"
The riders on the bus say "Lie, lie, lie,"
No one will notice.
I could go on and on.

Those bastards pass this and they might as well start looking for a new country. I think Joe Six-Pack has had about enough of the sub-simian oligarchs and kleptocrats in Washington to start enforcing the law against involuntary servitude and graft. At the point of a pitchfork, to say the least.

They will do what Britain does. They bring a passel of third world doctors in fom Muslim countries.
They leave seniors to be treated by ACORN type workers.
