Change to the Senate bill

[ScottThuy 140]

I'm so happy to see all of this, being a nurse.

After so many months of debate, I didn't expect to get this close to being passed. PLEASE OH PLEASE let it get passed. And thank goodness all my patients (sick babies) are covered by the nature of their small size; we don't turn down babies just because their parents have no health insurance or can't afford to pay for it.

Passing it just to say we passed something regardless of whether it will do what it is initially and fundamentally intended to do makes no sense... sneaking around at all hours to discuss it and have votes is unethical... someone needs to send a case of TP to DC to clean up after this ####### GETS PASSED...

They've debated this thing for over half a year...and the Republicans made them read every single word the bill for CSPAN, accomplishing what exactly?

I don't see how it is sneaking around if you know about it yourself...

Admit it Obot, your politician wunderkund Ovomit failed. And so has the Democrat party, they did not improve anything, this will not help you or me or anyone else and I can tell you that it will be repealed or thrown out in later legislation.

Obot? Interesting. I think I disbursed enough criticism on the President's handling on the health care issue and on his failure to put his foot down on a key item - either the public option or the expansion of Medicare. That said, the political realities, historical perspective and the now almost certain successful outcome would support the approach the administration chose to take - leave it to Congress.

If you'd bother to actually look at the key provisions of the Senate (there's a thread that lists them), you wouldn't be making the ignorant claim you just made.

And there's no denying that with the almost certain prospect of passage, the GOP strategy to kill the bill has been one huge failure.
