There's really little opportunity for the spirit of bipartisanship to exist when you have a part-time operative for the Obama administration/cable network political commentator throwing bombs about the GOP for not catering to the Obama administration's wishes on health care reform.
CNN political commentator and Democratic strategist Paul Begala bashed the opposition on Fox Business Channel's Feb. 10 broadcast of the "Imus in the Morning" program. He claimed the problem wasn't stubborn congressional Democrats wheeling and dealing behind closed doors on health care reform legislation but Republicans wanting to be obstructionists.
"Well, it is kind of preposterous," Begala said. "The Republicans bit is, Well, we'll work on health care if you stop and end and scrap all the progress we've made over the course of a year.' Well no, actually. The health care bill already has 213 Republican-sponsored amendments - 213. And for that they got zero Republican votes. I guess they got one in the House, David [sic - Joseph] Cao."

Rambling man.....
Yeah, well Democrats want the right to put your ass in jail if you don’t buy health insurance.
‘Republicans Want Insurance Companies to Have the Right to Dump Your Ass’
i wish the retort had been ‘but i’m gunna defeat them and pay all of y’alls way out of my own pocket’
never happen.........
...having the right to thump yours would be nicer...
Begala......#1 liar in the USA.
What’s the deal with these claims that insurance companies drop persons who get sick? And do so often.
Isn’t this just the case of:
— it happens a low percentage of times
— cases are exploited for the sympathy effect
— it’s a contract. the company follows the contract.
Or not?

Rename, repackage, rewrite it a tad smaller, and sell another pig in a poke.
Tennessee has joined several other states in trying to pass a Health Care Freedom Act. NO COLAs for granny, retired Military or retired fed employees. BIG NEW fees for Tricare for Life retired over 65 Military's secondary health ins. (DOD bill already passed, delayed but goes into effect 2011)
New Dem mantra: Woof, woof eat dog food granny....ala let them eat cake.
Bambi doesn't keep his promises...so buyer beware.

Is that an accurate statement, it would be like trying to buy fire insurance after the house caught fire*
* Well, it would really be like buying insurance on _other peoples_ house and then setting _their house_ on fire, to collect the money. Hm.
Well Begala, at least you can go to court on a claim with your insurer; which you would not be able to do with a new “Health Care” Czar.
Democrats want the government to have the right to own your ass.
Well put.
:)
Is that little schmuck Begala still around? Who cares what he says?
I can't even imagine what it would have been like working with the government on such a process.
You know, sooner or later, folks are going to wake up and realize these “businessmen” that are running the insurance companies, Banks and getting the Wall Street bonuses are not REPUBLICANS! Follow the money. Watch their contributions ... the boys raking it in are not Republicans ... that’s a myth.
Paul By-golly - the man who grows empty forehead!
Translation: Republicans oppose blatantly fascist control of the health care industry by he federal govt.
