The new bill will include medical care for illegals ( not “stated” but implied - and all their relatives who can fly to the US for “emergency” medical care ) .

It will be run like other government programs - money goes in during fat or lean times and it makes no difference. An IOU is dropped into the pot and the money taken out immediately.

A private insurance company would know the bulk of the baby boomers are moving into higher medical costs and prepare for it. The government will spend every dime as it comes in and be “shocked” when costs go waaaay up in a few years... Just like they do with social security and medicare and medicaid and every other govt. program...

'... the insurance industry is making huge profits off peoples' need for healthcare... I don't want to say whether I will vote for the Baucus Bill or not but we have to reform healthcare...'

Folks, she's gonna vote for the Baucus Bill. She's also a coward.

Why doesn't Snowe just get it over with and declare herself a RAT like Specter did?!

Another example of the one socialist Republicrat party system at work.

She is the "revenge of all old maid school teachers of the past" we all despised. I always think of one who was a jerk and she looks just like her in appearance and manner of speaking.

Too bad she represents a state that is beautiful but clueless. What are these republicans thinking?

Instead, Senator Snowe believes the GOVERNMENT’S numbers???

She should be institutionalized for mental deficiency.

"Sen. Snowe: 'I don't believe the insurance industry's numbers on healthcare'"

Every time the government has published a dollar projection, it has been shown to be a lie, not just wrong but an outright lie

The insurance industry has made a living for a few hundred years by getting the numbers right.

Olympia Ho is a damned fool.

We get a surprise from Lieberman voting against the Baucus bill and then Snowe help votes it out of Committee.

Why she is still a Republican is anyone’s guess.
