Obamacare is for the unwashed masses. The elitists on Capitol Hill need real healthcare. Bass turds.

Teddy should be being counseled about his ?death choices?

Teddy should not have a damned choice! Ted should martyr himself to convince Americans that ObamaCare will be more humane in the future then we were to Terry Schivo! Come On Ted! Show Americans how to die the way you lived! Coward!

It doesn’t matter if they are enrolled in the plan. Politically connected individuals can always pull strings to obtain preferential treatment from government offices. Today they can get parking tickets “fixed”; tomorrow they can get access to advanced treatments that are not available to ordinary citizens.

Cynics might be inclined to believe that is the point: government-run health care will help keep the sheep under control, and provide superior benefits for the ruling class and anybody they wish to bribe or reward.

Start causing “trouble” for the elites (Joe the Plumber, Frank Ricci) and people close to you will have procedures denied, operations canceled, and private records leaked to the internet. It’s part of the soft tyranny.

A two tier health plan should not be one for royalty and one for peasants. God, what happens when someone's platform is "It's for the children, vote for me so my kid can live!" Obamacare jokes Obama jokes

At a certain age you will need to see a government adviser on subject of “getting ready to pass over to other side” issues.
Wonder how much that will cost...

I agree! It would surely get the attention of the people that are on the fence and that should kill it.

A great proposal and it would kill it for sure but we know that’ll never happen.

For PR purposes, it’s too easy for them to realize they can accept this for now, and then change their program after the package is passed.

So, if we ask them to take the “common man” health package, they view themselves as a ruling class, and in the long run, that will be what guides them.

Exactly, xzins...Like was pointed out about Chris Dodd, he and others will push amendments through for their own benefit, the Rats simply cannot be trusted.

“the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn that would require all Members and their staffs to enroll in any new government-run health plan.”

So, if health care reform passes...they’ll ALL have to have the same health care we are stuck with?
