I’m not entirely on the “kill the bill” bandwagon. There is definitely some good being done in the bill, but it is being overshadowed by the bad. One issue I haven’t seen addressed is the effect on charitable care. The bill supporters out there seem to either ignore the issue, or just aren’t aware of […]
Greg Sargant points out that in a new CNN poll there is a 6 point uptick in support for the Senate bill. There are some other numbers in that poll that are very interesting: Thinking about the health care and health insurance that is available to most Americans, do you think the proposals in the […]
McJoan over at DailyKos has put together one hell of a post highlighting the good and bad of the Senate health care bill. Bottom line – if we can get rid of the mandates I think we have something we can all stomach and then work on. In all honesty the mandates should be removed […]

Politifact has named “death panels” it’s 2009 lie of of the year, and rightfully so. There is not a thing in any of these bills that amount to “death panels”, and I have gone through the bill pretty thoroughly and spent most of the day yesterday going back through while merging in the Senate changes.

Read this and see exactly who wrote it. This is the same type of corruption that brought us the Medicare plan in 2003 that lead to disaster for millions of seniors.
People can keep saying that this isn’t a hand out to insurance companies, but the simple fact that their stocks are sky rocketing tells a totally different story. In this case I will go with the opinion of Wall Street.
This is something me and a lot of the opposing factors to the latest HCR bill saw coming the other night when Democrats caved to Lieberman: Nelson’s key points: Asked if he would vote for cloture even if his initiative to restrict abortion were adopted, Nelson flatly said “no.” Nelson not only said a vote […]
