“..families will no longer be one illness or job loss away from bankruptcy..”
Well Schrader, you said it right; families will no longer be one step away, they’ll be mired in it because of ideolog’s like you, you dumb POS.
Yes, if you are sick without healthcare you may be bankrupt, with this bill you will be bankrupt.
One is a possibility, the other is a certainty.
The democrat congressmen in the House know little or nothing about economics. And how can they ignore the history of medicare which has vastly overrun it’s original cost estimates? These guys are crazy if they think this legislation will bring down health care costs. The actual cost of this program will explode way beyond original estimates. We’re rapidly moving towards another financial crisis caused by massive uncontrolled budget deficits. I think that’s going to start to hit next year when the bond market will be looking for a deficit reduction plan but will not get any plan from Washington ahead of the 2010 election.
