The trigger is just a back door to universal healthcare. Sure you can keep your insurance, but by the time he govt gets done beating it up you won’t want it anymore.
“It’s hard to know which of these two possibilities”
If you care about freedom, the only outcome to root for is that the effort collapses and the whole shooting matche of higher taxes, mandates goes kaput and the Dems are uprooted in a landslide in 2010.
She’s bluffing.
She is just like the Zero....when she opens her mouth, she lies!
I am ashamed she calls herself a Republican!
Exactly. She's probably saying this to use as leverage to get some pork pet project thrown into the legislation. Once she gets her pork she'll vote for anything the Dems write up.
Medicare Part D, one of the largest expansions since Medicare was initiated conservatively costing $724 BILLION through 2015, expected to cost at least double if not triple the initial projection... pushed and signed by Bush and a lot of Republicans.
SCHIP, major expansion of a dying program covering "Poverty line" families making $84,000 and covering "children" up to 24 years of age - brought back to life and signed into law by... wait for it... Bush and a lot of Republicans.
50 BILLION dollars to fight AIDS - in other countries, expected to be doubled by Obama - pushed through by Bush and the Republicans
So yes, it might not be in one big chunk, but a lot of little pieces add up quickly. and are the bases for an ever expanding "System".
I can’t imagine ANY republicans voting for ANY bill that comes out of committee.
First off, they haven’t brought the republicans to draft any legislation.
Secondly, if ANY republican signs on, then it can be labeled, a BIPARTISAN BILL.
Let us pray:
“Please God, give these idiot republicans the strength, courage, moral fortitude and common sense to recognize a boodogle when they see it. Give them the smarts to vote NO!!!! Amen.”
