The games continue. Pelosi hawks her health-care bill as a reduction to the deficit. She got there by excluding deficit-increasing items such as the doc fix. However, when all the health-care related items are counted, the deficit increases. 
Here's the punchline, with the full letter at the end of this post:

    >> America sleeps as the poison drips into its veins.
I think it’s more like surgery... the IV dripping into the vein is anaesthetic. But this is one of those cases where the patient wakes up during the operation and discovers that the entire damn medical team is molesting us when they said they were going to be fixing us! And boy are we pissed!

    I don’t want their damn doc “fix”. Its a deal with the devil. Let them cut us by 21% (while simultaneously raising our taxes). Maybe that will finally make some of the liberal do-gooders among the ranks wake the hell up and do what they should have been doing all along which is telling every patient they come in contact with the miserable truth about how our enslavement will be their’s to share.
