The Senate needs to kill this health care bill:
This is essentially the collapse of health care reform in the United States Senate. Honestly the best thing to do right now is kill the Senate bill, go back to the House, start the reconciliation process, where you only need 51 votes and it would be a much simpler bill.
There’s nothing in this bill that benefits you or me. There’s no single-payer, no public option, no prescription drug reimportation, and no extending Medicaid.
But there’s a ton of things in this bill that benefits Big Business. There’s a mandate that makes it illegal not to have health insurance. There’s a provision banning drug reimportation. And there’s a provision that makes it more difficult for generic drug makers to produce cheaper versions of popular drugs.
So this health care bill is nothing but a huge hand out to the health insurance/pharmaceutical industry. Yet liberals and progressives want this bill to pass.
Why?
Why do they want to pass a bill that makes not having health insurance illegal? Why do they want to pass a bill that doesn’t include prescription drug reimportation? Why do they want to pass a bill that helps the health insurance/pharmaceutical industry more than the American people?
Maybe it’s because they have developed a serious case of Stockholm syndrome and think Democrats have their best interest in mind. Or maybe it’s because they honestly think this is the best bill they can get.
Whatever their reason is they need to know that this health care bill is worthless and it needs to die a horrible, painful, violent death.
But since they can’t be reasoned with, and since they think Obama shits golden truffles, this health care bill will pass through both the Senate and the House and Obama will sign it by the end of January.
Which means I need to call my stock broker and have him put all my money in Atena, because they’re fixing to make a killing.
Update: Looks like Howard Dean hit a nerve.

I guess it’s because they don’t realize that and just want the health insurance part. I dunno.

It also doesn’t help that instead of informing uninformed people such as myself about the dangers of it, people would rather just insult you. That doesn’t help.

PQ8, the problem is Liberals wont educate, cause once you peel back the layers of bullshit you find a giant bonus for democrats and government in general.
Why do you think libs and their administration have been so secret about the majority of this bill? Because when the average american people get ahold of this monstrosity and dissect it for the farce that it is, they lose.
There’s a reason you don’t see any respected liberal educated and opinionated voice aside from the corrupt liberal news organizations themselves.

Yup, seems that way. It sucks that nothing can actually just be beneficial to actual PEOPLE and not wallets.
We're bailing out the health care industry. | says:

Obama will sign anything that has to do with Healthcare so he can claim “victory.” It’s enough to make you sick.
