A leading GOP negotiator on health care struck a further blow to fading chances of a bipartisan compromise by saying Democratic proposals would restrict medical choices and make the country's "finances sicker without saving you money."
The criticism from Sen. Michael Enzi, R-Wyo., echoed that of many opponents of the Democratic plans under consideration in Congress. But Enzi's judgment was especially noteworthy because he is one of only three Republicans who have been willing to consider a bipartisan bill in the Senate.

If the GOP tries to put the mustard on this crap sandwich, they can eat it.
Leftists have to plant this flag at all costs.
Right. Just say NO.
Call your elected and tell them to Shred the whole bill....there is no part that merits discussion - just shred the whole bill.
One danger for the Libs is the way the bill is structured.The taxes start on the day the bill is signed, but the benefit changes are pushed out to 2013. That means two elections where the GOP can point to higher taxes and no appreciable improvement. That's to be taken advantag of.
I actually like my health care and my insurance...What’s the problem.
More lies from the Associated Press:
“He is one of only three Republicans who have been willing to consider a bipartisan bill in the Senate”
There are many Republicans who would consider a bipartisan bill in the Senate, if it were truly bipartisan . . . not a matter of signing on to the liberal Democrats’ bill.
These RINO senators don’t realize yet that they are consorting WITH THE ENEMIES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Or, maybe they do...
And I have heard that even if a ‘mild’ form of the bill passes the Senate, it will go back to committee in the House and they can re-insert anything they want.
Is that correct?
If it is correct that’s why the whole thing has to go.
These “ENEMIES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” were elected by your fellow Americans, your next-door neighbors. Get over it.
As I understand it, 80% of Americans pretty much agree with you. But 20% disagree.
As I understand it, our Republic is now considered a Democracy, where the majority rules. So, if 20% of the population wants socialized medicine, the other 80% of the population has to suck it up and cast aside the health care system that they like.
Welcome to Obama's World.
Snowe signaled she’s going to do something... she may vote for the crap sandwich... to protect folks who are currently happy with their insurance from future problems “that they don’t know about”.
She thinks she’s smarter than the rest of us. She thinks like a Democrat and needs to be ejected from the party. She can be an independent from this point on if she wants to. It doesn’t help to have her confusing our message in the minds of the voters.
“the other 80% of the population has to suck it up”
And pay for the other 20%...I believe that is closeer to the truth — Agree.
Once the bill is in place it will not be eliminated. The Pubs won't have a veto proof majority. Also, with Acorn helping with the 2010 census and 0 already saying they will count "all" people redistricting will favor Rats.
IOW, if it passes the Pubs may gain seats, even get majorities, but it will be short lived. The country will be transformed into the "European socialist model" the left loves.
Yes, I read that somewhere last night about Snowe. I guess congress will be at it right after Labor Day. Gotta get the bill passed while the memory of Ted Kennedy is still fresh in the “dims” minds.
