Senate Passes Health Care Reform 60-39, Reid Promises 'It's Only The Beginning'

[groberts0429]

Rhetoric: "The health care reform bill now in the Senate would be the largest deficit-reduction measure in a decade." -President Obama, Sept 9, 2009

Reality: While CBO estimates show a net decrease in the deficit by 2019, history shows this to be highly unlikely. Spending has traditionally been much higher than originally projected by the CBO and even with the current proposals, when looking at the 1st 10 yrs of actual spending (2014-2023), it will likely cost well over $2.5 trill

Yes, Sen. Reid, this is only the beginning of our surrender to the insurance companies.

Next week, the Congress gets to work on passing HR 3591, the Vichy France Imitation Act, which concerns how Americans will be supplied with the chloroform and tubs of Vaseline deemed necessary for cutting the spiraling costs of insurance-gang-rape procedures. Sen. Lieberman has expressed his support for a public option as a solution to this problem.

Hope!

CHange!!

How will guarantee a Sarah Palin victory in 2012? Will she even get through her first term or quit that too? It'll be a cold day in hell before she becomes president, accept it.

Oh, and I love all these clever conservative nicknames for Obama. Fox News is God

You couldn't be more right about sarah palin.

This healthcare bill will ensure that Obambi becomes a 1 term EPIC FAIL and will get PWNED by Sarah Palin in 2012! This country needs Palin as president for she will completely undo all the EPIC FAIL DAMAGE that Obambi Healthcare reform will do to this country and will ensure that government stays completely out of healthcare! Palin will also privatize Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Welfare, Unemployment, Retirement, Veteran's Healthcare and all liberal govt handouts to cut the pork out!

Your really against providing healthcare for the elderly, Children, and Soldiers. You are not a very moral person are you.

@Justwosweet

Do you have any idea what conditions are like in a VA hospital? I have worked in one and let me tell you that our soldiers deserve better! John McCain, a veteran himself would close them and offer soldiers a voucher. The soldiers could get better care if they we just directly gave them the money we were spending on the VA system. They have a hard time recruiting doctors. It is a disgrace!

[Justwosweet]

So your answer to welfare is welfare.

"It's only the beginning" of our slavery to the insurance industry.

[Justwosweet]

Umm.. It's only the continuation of our slavery to the healthcare industry.
