Here’s the deal.....if some grand mealy-mouthed moderate plan emerges, the left will bail. There are more socialist ‘progressive’ Democrats than Blue Dogs. If they don’t get their public option, they could sink the bill. I think there could be an impasse here.
Grassley may sell out for a bogus co-op idea, but I’m pretty confident that the guy is dead set against the public option, as are Enzi, Hatch, and Snowe.
There's a stiff, cold, and refreshing breeze picking up from the north. It's clear air, clears the mind of all the smoke and haze.
Coming soon.
As far as health care is concerned...here is a link to the full House Democrat Health Care Plan in PDF. In Section 1233 E & F, pages 426-433, you find the part about mandatory end-of-life counseling for anyone over 65 years of age. Section 152 Page 50: All healthcare services will be provided without regard to "personal characteristcs" which is not defined within the document but is understood to include immigration status.
Section 224 b Page 125: The Secretary shall design and implement the payment mechanisms and policies under this section in a manner that (1) seeks to (B) reduce health disparities (including racial, ethnic and other disparities).
A lot more provisions now being documented at that site.
Donwload it, read it, study it, then hammer your reps over it and pass it on to all you know asking them to do the same.

Also, here's a large image of the Democratic (Obama) Health Plan chart-another Obama empty promise. This is the one the House democrats are censuring. Email these links or the image to everyone you know.
Obama and all those pushing his radical agenda are abject marxist ideologues. Their "fundamental; change" is nothing more than a destruction of the American free market and fundamental republican principle.

...and on the lighter side, take your mind off the Obamanation for a few minutes and enjoy some beautiful Western US scenery slideshows.
So long as Medicaid and Medicare still exist unopposed there is NO “centrist” position. There are Left, Lefter, and blatant Communist positions.
Looks like it may have blow’d up real good.
Fifty is our threshold, said Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), a co-chairman of the caucus. Thatll kill anything.
Yea for us guys! I think Hugh Hewitt was wrong today when he said this was a bad day in the socialized medicine wars. It looks like some fragging is going on in the enemy camp.
The Blue Dogs' deal, which cut $100 billion from the healthcare reform price tag, was instantly denounced by Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.), co-chairwoman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, who said, "It's unacceptable. We're not going to vote for anything that doesn't have a robust public plan." Liberals aimed to win 50 signatures on a letter to their leaders opposing the deal to make it clear they could defeat the healthcare bill on the floor."How about a robust public debate, a-hole?
$100 billion out of a 1.6+ trillion dollar monstrousity is great. That’ll solve everything.... whoopie.
Not Blue Dog lapdogs. Blue Dog Lap Dancers. Cowards, shits, and toadies.
...”Within hours of the liberal complaints, Obama was on the phone with Rep. Jan Schakowsky, a fellow Illinois Democrat and Energy and Commerce member who is in charge of the healthcare issue for the Progressive Caucus.”...
What everyone needs to know is that Jan Schakowsky is on record as stating her (and Obama’s) goal is the ultimate destruction of the private health insurance industry in the US. I’ve seen a Youtube video of this, and it is infuriating. Check it out yourself.
This seems to me to be unconstitutional at best, very dangerous at worst, when the Federal Government is making decisions as to which industries live or die. We need to work very hard to assure Obama and the democrats do not get this monstrosity through. They cannot be trusted with our health care. Write to your representative and senators, give them an earful, that we will not accept Obamacare.
