From the title, I thought you were anouncing a new boat coming out
on
the market or something like that.

Ya I know what you mean. It would be nice to see some boat banter for
a
change.

There's a few more the dems like.. The removal of the restrictions on
abortion, the IRS being in charge of collections, the language
controlling insurance company rates (remember, that was one of the
tales
they told us about the plan) was removed late in the process, the
pharma
companies (also blamed for the high prices) were given a nice bone and
now have 12 years with no competition from generic drugs which means
many more good drugs won't be available to regualar folks... There are
planty more, either way the bill is a hoax on America and a gift to
Unions, Pharma Companies, Big Insurance, and of course the SEIU...

Passed through corruption and strong arm tactics, by the most sold out
administration in history... I bet they love it.

Do you think that this is the first bill that has ever been passed
that has special interest groups involved???
Hell the Republicans wrote the book on how to court special interest
groups.

They cut out the frekin language that was what the whole bill was
supposed to be about. The language that would control insurance company
rates. Don't you remember, the bill was supposed to be about controling
the insurance company rates... or at least during the second wave after
having initially called it "health care refrom"...

No. You're just a liar.

Oh jeez, Snotty made a spelling error.

That must mean that whatever he said was intellectually inferior and
should be discounted.

Health Care reform was meant to first offer insurance to those who
didn't have it, second to pare costs where possible and third to
introduce competition through a public option.

What we got on the third front was a Republican idea for insuranace
collectives or exchanges where a small business could join a bigger
pool of consumers in order to push rates down.

The public option would have been better but what the legislators
would have faced from the insurance companies would have been
overwhelming.

It would have gone from 3 lobbyists per congressmember to 5 and they
would have spent any amount of money to make sure it didn't pass.
