Alaska’s two U.S. senators are offering conflicting views on the merits of the health care bill under consideration by the U.S. Senate this week.

SNIP: The bill reauthorizes the Indian Health Care Improvement Act for the first time in 21 years- a major accomplishment pushed for by Begich and eight other senators. It also protects Alaska Natives from penalties for not acquiring insurance and expands coverage to other public programs.

Apparently Alaskan Natives don't have to pay for nationalized health care, courtesy of Alaska's sole Democrat senator - but they'll get it just the same. Just another Nebraska-like corruption hidden inside the health bill.

[Mr Inviso]

Ridiculous. Alaska natives ALREADY GET SUBSIDIZED CARE. WTH would they need ZerOCare for? So now they are covered TWICE at taxpayer expense?

Bagboy is just adding to his pile O lies again.

Beg-ich is just trying to puy votes in advance.

He is owned by the Dem party, bought and paid for. Believe nothing that he says.

Don’t blame me-I voted for Ted. Hope all the freepers that said Ted had to go are happy. They got their payback today, didn’t they?

[ASOC]

Dude, I voted for Ted as well. And the American guy.

But the Bush voted for Beg-ich almost 3 to 1. I was shocked, given the gray he had ladled out over the years.

Makes you wonder what The Boy Wonder promised behind closed doors???

Yeah shocked is the word. Me too when those numbers came out.
