Let's see how CBO scores the bill when 30 states pass Medicaid increases back to fedgov.
Their goal is to redefine “rights” as being anything you need, at the expense of others.
My tagline used to be
“You have no ‘rights’ that impose an involuntary burden on another person”
They want to expunge this concept from our society, then they can do anything they want to us.
As if CBO is going to score the reconciliation bill (or any modification to the Senate bill)...
“They want to expunge this concept from our society, then they can do anything they want to us.”
I agree. And to expand on it, they want to be the ones to take from the productive and give to the idle. All the while, they will live a very rich and comfortable life on our money. Not constrained by the rules they place on the rest of us.
Yeah...even if Nelson loses next time...he’ll wind up with some plush job as a lobbyist for a medical company that signed on with the bill.
The system is deeply corrupt. Broken, through and through.
Let's see how CBO scores the bill when 30 states pass Medicaid increases back to fedgov.
Especially since the states bribed so far have been relatively small states. Just add the large (D) states on the same sweet deal and the $$$ will go through the roof. Even the CBO won't be able to cover it up.

Report: Bill would reduce senior care Medicare cuts approved by House may affect access to providers

A plan to slash more than $500 billion from future Medicare spending -- one of the biggest sources of funding for President Obama's proposed overhaul of the nation's health-care system -- would sharply reduce benefits for some senior citizens and could jeopardize access to care for millions of others, according to a government evaluation released Saturday.
The report, requested by House Republicans, found that Medicare cuts contained in the health package approved by the House on Nov. 7 are likely to prove so costly to hospitals and nursing homes that they could stop taking Medicare altogether.
AND if you are Retired Military on Tri Care for Life, which many Millions are, you are in for a nearly $5,000 NEW fee along with the increased premiums for the REDUCED Medicare benefits.
bill would Introduce NEW nearly $5,000 fee to TRL
This option would help reduce the costs of TFL, as well as costs for Medicare, by introducing minimum out-of pocket requirements for beneficiaries. Under this option, TFL would not cover any of the first $525 of an enrollee’s cost-sharing liabilities for calendar year 2011 and would limit coverage to 50 percent of the next $4,725 in Medicare cost sharing that the beneficiary incurred. (Because all further cost sharing would be covered by TFL, enrollees could not pay more than $2,888 in cost sharing in that year.)

You need to get out more. . . . Trust me there are a lot of us that have had enough of this bunch of CROOKS.
I still think we will kick a field goal at the last minute, but a part of me wants it to pass and let the IDIOTS see what they voted for.
Hang in there it ain't over by a long shot. . . . . even if it passes.

Problem is, I’m in the blue part of Ohio, northeast Ohio. Getting out more would just depress me. I’m safer here. :)
