Senate health Care Debate - Live Thread
C-Span ^ | 12/19/09 | US Senate

Posted on 12/19/2009 4:34:45 AM PST by BCrago66

Right now, the Senate is voting on a procedural motion to table debate on the Defense bill - which Republicans are hoping to filibuster, in an effort to stall debate on the upcoming Health bill. Because Lieberman didn't show up today, the Republicans just need to stick together on this to prevail - without defections from Collins or Snowe.

Saving lives? He is a LIAR. Anyone over 70 needing anything like chemotherapy or a heart valve replacement can just go ahead and die. Wait till they figure out a way to determine if you’re a conservative. Then the age to die becomes much lower.

This shows Democrats can’t be trusted, the bill Americans have to watch and dissect every word and sentence of, first sold as Health Insurance Reform

You’re a sweet soul. This isn’t about cost effectiveness or anything else except power and control over us and one sixth of our economy and that one sixth will soon expand.

PING!

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 PLANNED “END GAME” around Abortion and Stupak!

So far, leading pro-choice Democrats in the Senate (Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) Patty Murray) say they can “live” with this.

You’re so right. Democrats can’t be trusted, period. Not with national security and not with domestic spending.

They’re finished. But for their safe seats in the black caucus districts, their party would be in deep trouble.

Excellent research, BP2!

If Boxer and Murray can live with it, Pelosi can likely swallow it too.

Now, I will go to the link to read the details.

I had predicted that Obama would be less dangerous than Hillary in the long run. It looks that I was correct, and thank God!

I have always said that too. She was never the little haus frau politician's wife. She and Slick now have about 20 years of executive experience, 12 in AR and 8 in the WH, so they have no learning curve when it comes to wielding the levers of power. We are all very lucky they didn't do more damage than they did when they were in the WH.

I’m glad to hear that, anyway.

Goodbye gramma and grandpa. Don't let the morgue door hit you on the way out.

I think too many people like big government. The democrats have been very successful handing out entitlements. Too many people live on the government dole.

The largest employer has to be the federal government. Hidden in the stinkulus, is the creation of 153 new federal agencies to deal with “health care’ and I shudder to think how many agencies with new employees are contained in the bill that’s about to pass.

We are so screwed. We need a serious rebellion.

For all following this, the reading of the Manager’s Amendment is expected to end in about 9 minutes.
