could be dangerous too for these people.

I see Landrieu just said she’s voting Yea tonight. She should announce that she is taking out the Katrina payoff if she has any integrity.

I have poored over this bill any much of the organized analysis. In contrast, this article takes ten minutes to read and arms you with more facts than any other synopsis.

Any American reading this will readily see how the Democrats bill, in any form, is destructive to our country and personal well being. It is not worthy of debate- only scorn and dismissal.

Keep this at the top, please.

Or automobile racing, skydiving, motorcycle riding, or mud wrestling with Sheila Jackson Lee.

Can you spell it?

“wellness programs which allow consideration of behavioral issues in setting premiums and, presumably, determining activities which are so dangerous that coverage might be suspended.”

Let’s see, what activity might be considered dangerous, say, gun ownership?

the cynic (or realist?) would look at this whole thing and realize it’s all just one big setup:

“Despite our best efforts to fix the broken system back in 2009, the system was just far too flawed. The only hope now is single payer universal government healthcare”

You’d think that in a sane world a legislative body would make and publish a sectional before any action on the bill. ‘Course, we’re not in a sane world any more. In my legislative days doing sectionals was one of my least favorite but most important tasks, but I’m sure glad someone else was doing this one.

because of the built in “failures” from mandates, it leaves the door open for universal health care in a few years as the “fix” for the failures.

Would that about sum it up?
