  • i was being sarcastic...of course i am aware that the blood sucking Republicans have NO soul...who knew someone really thought they cared?

    they only care about themselves and the oligarchs they defend to the end...oh yea...and their tea bagging base

  • Too bad that this bill which contains provisions like this, and denying mammogram coverage, was written COMPLETELY by DEMOCRATS. And not even the GOOD ones like Lieberman. WHICH party is untrustworthy???

  • The GOP is the only one that HAS the heart. It's heartless to keep this provision in AND deny mammogram coverage under Obamacare.

  • @kchand

    If the congressman is looking to amend ERISA to reduce the immunity currently held by insurance companies, he's got my full support.

    But he's a republican, and they've shown themselves to be pretty untrustworthy when it comes to health care reform. So it would be an understatement to say that I take his amendment with huge grains of salt.

  • the GOP found a heart? or cynicism?

  • ERISA does not cover group health plans established or maintained by governmental entities.

  • GET RID OF ERISA? does Shadegg want to end COBRA and get rid of provisions that ensure insurance companies can't deny workers for pre-existing conditions?

    OMFG, this woman has been criminally misinformed about ERISA.
