Your prediction is not helpful, what will be in the passed bill and when will it pass

It will pass very soon, the bill will be brought to the floor, a vote will occur, and the outcome will be optional Government health care. Not only will it pass, but a few rino's might even be on board. However, most employers will dump their private insurance and go with the government plan, it will be cheaper (for them). And, private insurance companies cannot compete agains the government plan which can endlessly lose money. What will pass? Complete government health care, nothing less. This will happen very rapidly, within 3 weeks of tonights speech, you will see after tonights speech, the writing is on the wall.

Interesting post.

One of the dirty little secrets about "health care reform" is that it isn't driven by power-hungry government officials, or by malcontented citizens demanding freebies at taxpayers' expense.

This is driven entirely by large corporate interests in the U.S. who see employer-paid medical insurance as an enormous drag on their bottom lines.

I dont think so !

How will will it get through the Senate?

One of my neighbors (a McCain or Dier) back in December was claiming democrats could pass anything they wanted. In July he predicted by Early August Obama would sign a bill. Now he is in hiding as the democrats broke out in civil war and are attacking one another.

Is your theory that they get 60 in Senate with Sen Snow and every single democrat, or 51 with reconciliation?
