Don’t. Hold. Your. Breath.
Agreed! Bribery and extortion will rule the day!
Pick up arms and revolt!
| The way they will try to get around Stupak in the House is via a proposed “two checks” method: If you're buying insurance with help from the government, and the policy you want to buy covers abortions, you have to write two checks (or authorize two credit card transactions, etc.) for your plan. If the plan costs $1000 a month, and the insurer plans to sequester $50 to put into a pool that covers abortions, you have to make one payment of $950 and a separate payment AS AN INSURANCE RIDER of $50. THIS IS THEIR “END GAME” around Abortion!So far, leading pro-choice Democrats in the Senate (Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) Patty Murray) say they can “live” with this. See more here: |
Exactly. They are burying this country.
More false hope. They’ll work the numbers so that the most vulnerable Dems in Republican-majority districts will be permitted to vote against the compromise, which will pass by two votes. The few on the brink will be bribed and/or threatened to get onside. This one’s in the bag. Your only hope is a 2012 trifecta, which would permit the Republicans to repeal the bill. By no means a slam dunk, considering you Yanks re-elected the Pervert in Chief in the face of clear evidence of perjury, sleaze and corruption.
Never trust a rat. Stupak is a rat. They have to prove themselves to the bitter end before I put .000001% of trust in one of them.
