Former Tennessee Senator Bill Frist says Congress will pass a healthcare overhaul bill by Christmas. But he says it will push costs onto the states that will crimp funds for education.
...
Frist also says the bill fails to tackle tort or malpractice issues. But he calls the insurance reform in the bill “very good,” saying people who have lost jobs or don’t make much money will be able to get insurance, as will those with preexisting conditions.

All of them. They're all going left.

None of it is necessary, except to facilitate a Marxist-style takeover of America. Looks like all the RINOs want their piece of the power pie.

I know Frist is already out (so he should just go away and leave us alone), but we should just throw them all out.....

No worries. We all know that any Republican is better than no Republican at all.

Some of these GOP Senators and Congressmen that have lost their jobs will not be missed.

Frist: You are a complete moron & a RINO extreme. Explain to me how your medical investments will grow with this new socialist system. That has to be the reason you think its good. Your family has a history of investing in medical companies. Get lost, freako.

“They’re all going left.”
I’m sure he still makes a tidy profit from HCA and his hospital lobbyists are getting behind obaminations plan because the hospitals will be making a bigger profit—at least for a couple of years.

We need to be planning on what we are going to do. Comply and let them kill us or do something else.

This crap will do nothing but influence the RINOs in the Senate. (Snowe: “Well if Frist, who’s a doctor, supports this then it can’t be all bad”). Effing idiot.

We really don’t need this right now. We are trying so hard to fight against them. It is such an uphill battle. We can’t trust anyone.

Perhaps you could explain why people without money should be able to spend someone else's money, or how you can insure against something that has already happened.
Your explanations ought to be good for a laugh.

He is one of the reasons Bush could not get some of his legislation passed. With this kind of thinking from Republicans we will be a socialist country by the end of the year.

I like the end of the article...
Though Frist expects a bill to pass this year, Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander argues the overhaul will collapse during debate next month.
