  1. #1    Of course, the provisions seen in this article are a quick summary. I have a lot of questions about all of these provisions, since the already insured and retired, not working, people did not appear to be included. Also, why are we taking $$ away from Medicare? Dumb question! To cover Medicare, right? Well, I don't think so! So what are those $$ going to be used for?

  2. #2    A whole lot of bullshit, putting paint and makeup on a 'reform' that is a huge, huge, huge gift to the Health Denial Racket.

  3. #3    Neocon Nancy is giving a trillion dollars to the health mafia, mostly taken from working and retired Americans.

    All we get in return are fourteen lame talking points, skyrocketing premiums, and a *#$%#^$% ban on public option abortions?

  4. #4    "Talking points?!" These are significant, life-or-death improvements in health care! Mike5000 you're either a liar or a fool.

  5. #5    The bill gives us these peanuts which are full of loopholes and takes in return:

    * A trillion dollars, consisting in large part of Medicare cuts and a tax on poor working Americans
    * The right to have abortion covered by health insurance
    * Much higher health insurance premiums and ludicrous copays

    A mandate to buy junk insurance is not the same as the right to health care. Not even close.

  6. #6    Before we start calling people names Alan8 we'd better check our own facts. If you have something to put on the table, then put your opinions there. B/C right now, I can't see where you are going with this. In exactly what provisions do you see SIGNIFICANT life-or-death improvements?
