The debate over the details of federal health reform legislation has moved to the U.S. Senate. Farm Bureau producer members in Virginia oppose the current proposals, in part because they would lead to increases in health insurance premiums. The current bill, Farm Bureau members contend, would place health insurance mandates on farmers who employ seasonal workers, and it does nothing to help rural doctors and hospitals receive much-needed additional funding from Medicare.

Keeps taking about the price tag.
Doesn't mention the fact that the CBO said that the public option alone would reduce the deficit by $100million. Why wasn't that mentioned in this "balanced" video?
As for "gov't run" health plan and rural doctor payment schedule - that can be tweeked irrespective of any bill passed.

People who are "happy with their health care" won't be as premiums continue to rise & plans cover less and with higher deductible & co-payments.
The plans specifically offers benefits for small businesses, including being able to consolidate purchasing power through an "exchange". Why do you suppose this video didn't mention that? Hmmm?
