hkellickIt's funny. I remember when people cheered "OMG, 60 democratic senators! We can do anything now!"
Ha.
You know, I'm not a liberal. Not a Capital L liberal.
But I have to agree with Howard Dean. The current bill is crap. It needs to be killed.
As I understood it, the point to Health Insurance was to help the millions of people who can't afford to buy health care. The current bill doesn't accomplish that. It gives us a mandatory mandate that everyone get health insurance, which WON'T lower costs long term because there's nothing in the bill that stops HMOs from overcharging or giving bad service.
In short, there is no real REFORM int he health care reform bill. Instead those people healthy enough to skip health insurance are being punished.*
What a crock. What a piece of shit.
Even 59 democratic senators if you don't count Joe "Benedict Arnold" Lieberman, and you really can't and this piece of shit was the best we could do?
Harry Reid needs to be fired. His job is, like Pelosi's to get 'er done. He isn't. Instead we sat there sidelines by Lieberman's demands and caving in.
To Obama, to Harry Reid, to the Congress as a whole.. get with it. Do you want to pass health reform or do you hope to maybe nickle and dime it. It's a LITTLE better now than it was, so that's OK. And then in 70 more years, it'll be a LITTLE better then that it is now. Oh wow, aren't these idiots we elected doing a great job?
No.
To Harry Reid, to the Democrats, to Obama.. please stand up for what's RIGHT and not what Joe Lieberman and the obstructionists are demanding you do. You KNOW what's right. You know what we need. That bill is not it.
*the current bill mandates that everyone get health insurance while allow the health insurance company to charge you 50% more if you have a pre-existing conditions. So that means if you have a pre-existing condition, you may not be able to afford health care, but you damn well had better get it or the Feds will ding you!
