“CSPAN 3 is full coverage....Rockefeller up.”
Correct me if I am wrong but I had to subscribe to the high end cable service to get C-span III.
Harkin then said “premiums go down for everybody.” No so, commie Tommie. Premiums go UP, from $0.00 to megabucks, for those who don’t want to have insurance, but who would be forced to get insurance by government mandate.
Obama agreed with Harkin.

~Dental Coverage for Up to 50 Million Children Could Be Disrupted~
OAK BROOK, Ill., Jan. 6 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Congress is very close to improving oral health for those children without dental coverage today, but without a few small, significant changes, final health care reform legislation could actually disrupt dental coverage for millions of children who already have it now.
That's the assessment of Delta Dental Plans Association President Kim Volk, who is urging members of Congress to consider key oral health provisions as the House and Senate reconcile their differing health care reform bills.
"Delta Dental is pleased that both the House and Senate health care reform bills seek to expand access to oral health care," said Volk. "However, without changes, both of these bills will seriously, and inadvertently, disrupt the primary dental coverage enjoyed by millions of Americans today and undo decades of progress in improving the nation's oral health."
Volk urged Congress to address key dental-related issues as it irons out the differences between House and Senate bills.
"First, we ask Congress to allow for vigorous competition among different types of insurance companies, including stand-alone dental carriers and the dental-focused carriers," Volk said. "Unfortunately, the House bill would force families to buy children's dental insurance from medical insurers - without the option to purchase from more experienced and specialized dental plans. It would also force parents with family dental coverage today to purchase two dental plans - one for their children and another for themselves. Ultimately, the House bill would disrupt coverage for an estimated 40 to 50 million children across the country."
Volk noted that the Senate bill allows for competition inside the new health insurance Exchange but fails to assure it for those who currently have dental coverage".
SNIP...
The counter narrative for the conservatives here should be how BHO and his associates were dishonest and petulant as they bargained in bad faith, having already prepared sinister machinations, as they planned to force the summit to fail.
The Health Care Summit was, from the beginning, designed to fail so the Administration could justify their desired coup d’etat of the insurance and medical industries in the face of clear public opposition, while ignoring the urgent economic concerns, especially unemployment.
This plan would damage the economy and has been soundly rejected by the public.
It is also on CSPAN 3 which I just found after CNN went to commercials. Have the Dems told the cable shows to kill this going full time?
Rock-A-fella is putting a beating on the private insurance market - after Zero get’s done saying he wants competition and people to choose the insurance they want. Not to mention the Dems letting the insurance companies write the bill
LOL!
sure would, lol
gosh, I don’t know about that, but you may be right.
Rockefeller.....OHHHHH those EEEEEVIIIILLLLL insurance companies and another dreaded SOB STORY.
Harkin opens with:
Segregating people on the basis of their health
Wanna bet they focus-grouped this line to death, and it will lead ALL THREE NETWORKS coverage tonite?
I would read through all the posts, but I’m not planning any bouts of insomnia anytime soon. No matter how funny or original, 3600 posts might take a while.....
Oh this is killing me. Rockefeller calling the insurance companies the bad guys for wanting to make a profit in their business. Isn’t that why they’re in business? To make money?
BRILLIANT
I switched to C-Span 3 so if you have it then that's an option.
One thing. The Pubbies need to keep quoting from their own bill(s) to make clear that it is fiction that they have not put out proposed bills and at the same time highlight the commonsense solutions those bills contain.
What were the odds?
