No, she just wants donations from the base and will ride this as long as possible, once it is officially dead, no more donations from her kook base.

Dems just want the money!!! They don’t give a r&t’s &ss about the health care delivery system.

Medicare & Medicaid are broke - this is the only way to cover up and put Government in control of our lives, from conception to cremation.

It’s Americans who should be terrified of this scam.

Ten years of taxes for four years of health care which doesn’t start for four more years.

We have to keep pressing on that issue. Reid keeps insisting that time is of the essence. Another lie.

That has some role it but don’t be surprised when Obama and her offer a few of these dems on the fence some sort of post-election kickback to makeup for them losing their job.

I would rate the odds of reconciliation happening at about 95%.

The CBO is required to put the number with the assumptions put before them. The Rats play this CBO game like pros and the law requires the CBO to remain silent even if they know they are being taken.

Read the actual posts and some one notes that Pelosi never said that comment.

The AFP is the that nutter news outlet and they make up staff such as a quote that was never said in the ABC interview ! It figures the Left wing crack pots at Yahoo leftist News would link to it !

TRI CARE FOR LIFE This from a google search:

http://economicspolitics.blogspot.com/2009/05/tricare-for-life-is-obama-trying-to.html

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.) http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/99xx/doc9925/12-18-HealthOptions.pdf

Congress plans to block Tricare fee increases

By Rick Maze - Staff writer, Oct 7, 2009

Tricare fee increases imposed last week by the Defense Department will be repealed by a provision of the compromise 2010 defense authorization bill unveiled Wednesday by House and Senate negotiators.
Snip The fee increases were announced on Sept. 30 and took effect on Oct. 1, but the defense bill, HR 2647, includes a provision barring any fee increases until the start of fiscal 2011.

Snip

Retired Army Maj. Gen. Bill Matz, president of the National Association for Uniformed Services, said the announcement of fee increases was shocking considering that the Obama administration promised earlier this year to hold off on any new fee Tricare fee increases until fiscal 2011.

“President Obama and DoD assured NAUS and the entire military family earlier this year that there would rightly be no increases in any Tricare fees” in fiscal 2010, Matz said. “We took them at their word, and I can’t believe that a co-pay increase like this was allowed to go forward,” he added.
