...Some you win, some you lose....

I agree with your sentiment.

And, if Delay, Bush, Frist, and Cheney are for it I'm in. The analysis as provided above is too simplistic. The world is ending! The world is ending! Norwood Dingle! 100,000 new cops!

The real facts are that people who get prescription medicine need less surgury and hospital care. So, it should be covered. Further, the average senior pays $600 for prescription medicine per year. This bill requires all participating seniors to pay roughly $600 in premiums.

Further, Medicare is broken and will collapse causing great misery. The only useful reform is to bring competition (a thing that 50% of Congress cannot stand - read the Rats). A compassionate conservative cannot stand by and let people suffer. Sorry, it's not a secret.

This bill was a great compromise and I'm impressed that they got it to pass. This took some stones. Would I like the rats in the country to join in helping or at least provide constructive criticism? Yes. But, they won't even agree on something as simple as preventing terrorists from killing their children.

People need to have a little faith. And do a little more work before flying off the handle. The Press won't report the truth and you won't get it by reading internet chat boards.

If conservatives can't trust Bush, Cheney, Frist, and Delay, then start stocking the beans away now.

The Greatest Looting Generation simply refuses to ask their children to cover the difference and prefer to steal from the young using the government as an agent of theft.

This bill is nothing compared to the $200 billion debt financed adventure in Iraq to build a welfare state, but it an enemy of civil society.

The real facts are that people who get prescription medicine need less surgury and hospital care.

Can you show me the facts? I'm not at all convinced that the availability of drugs does anything more than defer surgery until a later time. Of course, I've seen it referenced as "fact" so often I'm sure there must be plenty of studies out there.

Of course, that's to say nothing of the fact that drugs are readily available to seniors should they need them under the current system. This new entitlement is filling a nonexistant gap.
