"I don't see how the Democrats can make the math work and the moderates are not going to vote for a bill that increases health care costs over time."

You have more faith in the wisdom of sub rosa communists than I do.

Always great to see someone who means what they say and says what they mean, so thank you for pointing out what the bill is not.

It is amazing if you do a word search on the last health care bill that was passed in the house the word “physician” is used 27 times.

Do you or anyone else find something so fundamentally wrong with a bill that has “health” in the title but has little input from doctor's across the country. (even if the AMA says they support the bill, I have serious doubts of their truth when it comes to their entire membership)

[mojitojoe]

Of course it will. It was never about bringing down the costs down. They could do that with one easy step. Insurance can be bought across state lines. THAT is the main thing that keeps costs up. The insurance companies know they have you right where they want you. You can’t shop around.
It’s a power grab, see my tag line.

You are making the all too common assumption that Honecker-in-Blackface actually cares whether he pleases the proles.

I'm willing to wager that this psycho dreams of the day when he can stand on a marble reviewing stand he has had built beside the paved over Washington Mall and watches his racially sorted Civilian Militia march by waving torches...

They don’t care cuz they don’t have to pay it - we will (if passed).

As this came out on a Saturday, we should repost on Monday so more people will be able to read it.

great idea, it is also in the Politico and I did send a link to Drudge not sure if it is important enough for his webpage

[rockinqsranch]

“...not sure if it is important enough for his webpage...”

Should be.

I really don’t want to pay for dead beats. I don’t want to pay for preexisting fat people with diabetes . I don’t want to pay for illegal aliens who can’t even read or speak English. I plan to to go to American doctors in Mexico and Costa Rica and never pay these bastard a dime.

[jveritas]

The truth will always come out and will always win. Liberals have never understood this simple fact of life.

[reasonisfaith]

After We the People, doctors are the last ones the liberals in congress want to have input. Just like health care is the last thing they’re considering as they write this monstrous, abusive bill.
