Nor do I.

I am sure that it is not universal health care and will only make more money for the insurance companies. This is not "a start" to universal health care but rather a continuation of the "compromise" that gave us the Bush Medicare drug prescription plan that made the drug companies even wealthier.

I have no doubt this is universal garbage, not universal health care. Obie should not accept this. I am very upset with this crap.

This country needs to take a long hard look in the mirror.

Some of us thought it was being pushed too quickly. It'll be interesting to hear how women feel about having to add RIDER for abortions to their policies.

You can blame the so called Blue Dogs for that bit of nonsense. For a bunch of lawyers they do love playing doctor.

Thats funny...So true. Of coarse the Senate will have their say...but I do wonder if Judge Sotomayor could be engaged in her first real interpretation. Just saying...

Yeah, they've been making the "fast sell" on health care reform for about a year now. Now we get to watch the Senate move at lightning speed and take another year...

I'm sure this will be offensive to at least one of you, but if you'd like to know what's in the bill, I think it took me about 90 seconds to read through the link I posted last night. Sure, it's not everything (though I posted a link to that too) but it should alleviate the "I have no idea what they passed" blues.

It's not a perfect bill, but there's way too much good in there to be against it from my perspective. Yeah, I'd have preferred a single pay program. But that is socialist and somehow the Republicans made that a dirty word. So we get this instead. I'll take it. Gets rid of the most egregious Insurance company practices.
