 Let the Debate BeginPosted on Nov 22, 2009
After a tumultuous lead-up, the U.S. Senate has voted to hold full debate on a health care reform bill. The vote was 60-39, with all Republicans, except one who was absent, hitting the “no” button.

The “pre-existing conditions” clause is a fraud—it was just as I thought—they will still allow insurance companies to charge people up to 3 times as much as those without conditions.
It will be like the credit card bill…
NYCArtist—I agree and good links! Everyone should check them out before they support this piece of crap.
Blackspeare—they day “the poor” benefit from anything in U S of A society, will be when there is a coup and not before. Never fear, the Dems dont care enough about the poor to give them anything.
We are not a big enough voting bloc. And, at the rate poor peopel are realizing how little the Dems will do for them, we will be a smaller voting bloc..I can just see trying to urge people to get out and vote in 2010…it was hard enough before.

You can stick a fork in the US of A, they’re just about done!
When Reid has to offer Landrieu an appropriations bribe to get her vote on a procedural matter just goes to show how lame the US Congress is!!! Whenever the final legislation is enacted the only people who will benefit are the poor and the middle class will once again bear the brunt of the ultimate cost.

Re: ChaoticGood
I second that. In fact, I’ll do it WITH EMPHASIS. It matters. Here we go:
”The Republicans have now proven that they do not care about the average American citizen. Is this news to anyone?
Since they are now on record opposing healthcare legislation, there is no need to listen to their chatter about modifications to the bill. The Democrats should decide what should be in the bill to suit themselves and ignore the Republicans entirely.
They have nothing of any interest to offer unless you want fear mongering, racism, homophobia and endless wars on nouns.
The Democrats must re-double their efforts to construct a very good bill that will help the average American and prove once and for all that the Republicans are not to be trusted with power ever again.”
Good post.
