Extending this successful program to those between 55 and 64 would be

Weiner, Democrat of New York."

Yep - that's about it. Well, single payer for everybody except for
Federal, State and Union employees - they get to keep their private
insurances.

Here, the ten biggest lies from the Republicans about the health care
reform. I wonder, if it's SO bad to the right, why must they tell lie
after lie after lie?

The real facts are that the current bill is 2700+ pages. Plus it also has
over 100 references to items that leave the implementation to the Dept of
health and services. We do not know what to do, so the Secretary of the
Dept can do what she wants. This is one fubar bill. Does nada for
lowering the cost of healthcare for the small percentage of those without
insurance, just who pays for it. Same people that always have. The
taxpayers.



Come one. On the one hand loonies complain that the bill is too long, then
others such as yourself complain it's too long. Which is it?

I believe it's actually 2047 pages, but so what? Implementation is
typically left to the departments. There's no way to include every
possible action in a bill. More right wing diatribe that has nothing to do
with healthcare reform. You really need to stop getting your talking
points from talk radio.

A bill of this size and import should not leave a lot of the critical items
to be solved later by the dept. The Legislators can not argue the
implementations.
