Tonight at 11:15 pm EST, by a 220 to 215 vote, the House passed their
version of Health Care Reform.

Among the most meaningful pieces of legislation in history making it
through one body of congress is a big deal. There's lots of work
left
but I'm damned happy a major bridge has been crossed.

All you folks who hate your fellow Americans and don't think it's
worth the investment have my sympathy.


One lone Republican voted for it. 39 Democrats opposed. That ****es me
off.
Well, it's on to the Senate. I'm sure they'll do something by 2015.

Lets hope they bog it down and 2010 becomes an election issue on the
very point. A decision this big needs direct voting on the issue.
Hell, if the majority wants government to nationalize health care, so be
it. But I suspect when people take the time to read, this is a hidden
tax grab. Get the cash flow to the government and then turn down
survice levels while they skim the moneys.

The polls are very clear in that Americans want health care reform.

Haley Barbour was on Meet the Press today insisting the majority of
Americans don't want health care reform. I don't know of a single
poll, apart from heavy Republican districts, who are against health
care reform.

Lying straight faced is Republican strong suit.

Yes, the people are for health care reform. Or really cheaper
healthcare. But do they want the government telling them what services
they can have? The government has never run anything cheaper than private
industry. And ramming through a "healthcare reform" bill in a short time
in the back room and then voting on it less than 3 days later, leads to
those ****ED UP laws that the unintended consequences are worse than the
cure. The Feds should be working on creating sustainable jobs, cutting
spending and curing a depression first.


?? Most of this is total wacko stuff... but I guess you think 45K dead
every year from lack of healthcare is ok.

They show up at any hospital and they get treated.



That is such a crock of ****. Try getting that sort of treatment for a
serious, chronic condition...

Another ill-informed, right-wing asshole.
