Harry Reid Secret Health care bill attachment

President Obama and liberals in Congress seem intent on passing comprehensive health care reform, even though polls suggest it is unpopular with the American people. And despite the potential political risks to moderate Democrats, the President and left-wing leadership in Congress are determined to pass the measure using a rare parliamentary procedure.

The Senate plans to attach Obamacare to a House-passed non-healthcare bill. Ironically, nobody knows what that legislation looks like, because it has not yet been written. Yet many members plan to rubber-stamp Obamacare without reading or understanding the bill.

The Senate Finance Committee worked furiously last week to mark up a conceptual framework of health care reform. The committee actually rejected an amendment by Sen. Jim Bunning (R.-Ky.) to mandate that the bill text and a final cost analysis by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) be publicly available at least 72 hours before the Finance Committee votes on final passage.

They should be taxed on the bailout money, It was your tax money they gave the bonuses from, One way of getting our money back from the tarp GW gave them a year ago with no strings attatched

[kaysandesses]

How do you explain the polls showing that the majority of Americans DO want a public option? ABC News recently did a poll that showed when people were educated about what is proposed in HB3200 that the margin in favor of healthcare reform increased by about 20% to (IIRC) nearly 75%.

Brent Bozo? lol,

People are not happy with their health insurance who the hell is this man talking

to. Many people I know hate their insurance!!! What planet are you on

[gritzschke]

I just looked up the bush spending it was 7.7 trillion. plus the surplus that clinton left him with, And we have absolutly nothing to show for it.

[countryboy1949]

Bush started it yes, but Obama had his Stimulus plan , TARP 1/2 let's say and all together already more debt than all presidents combined since George Washington thru Bush II.

[gritzschke]

He did not create the debt he inherated it, Part of his spending is the other half of tarp that the bush adm. started

[countryboy1949]

Just making the point that Obama's debt is more than all the other Presidents combined since George Washington thru G.W. Bush. That's not good considering Obama has been in office less than a year.

[gritzschke]

you people need to stop adding Dubyas debt on Obama

[countryboy1949]

Biggest debt in history, until Obama came to office. He has compiled more debt in one year, than all presidents combined since G. Washington including G.W. Bush's debt.

[gritzschke]

So what was the mess Take a 5.5 trillion budget surplus and turn it into the biggest debt in history, And ya he sure kept us safe, Whos watch did 9/11 happen on anyway, I don't think it was Clinton, Unless you were in the working class When Reagan was president you have no Idea what he did to our country, He was the worst president in history,

[ed2kou1]

Reagan had to build our military up after that spineless coward Carter destroyed it. I was a little young back then but I do know my history. Gas lines, malaze, 444 days for the hostages. You could even say Carter is to blame for terrorisim that goes on today. You can't blame him for the start of it. That was in 72 Munich germany olympics. Carter did let the shaw of Iran fall. Welcom Ayatola Komani.

W had to do the same clean up the mess that, Cliton made. Thx W for keeping us safe.,
