there's no good reason to fatten up a retriever.
The CBO (Congeessional Budget Office) calculated the total cost of Health Care not just ten years as the supporters of the Bill would like us to believe. They announced the total cost would add 2.7 trillion to the National debt.

but the way to prove something is not a good idea is to modify it or scrap it and offer an alternative based on facts and research, not just bash it and walk away.
10% plus or minus of the U.S. POPULATION IS UNINSURED. a percentage unknown to me is underinsured. these are the people we end up paying for when they show up at the emergency rooms anyway. what is that cost? plus, they bog down the emergency services by addressing non-emergency health issues in this manner. they can't be denied services by virtue of state and federal law. they're not going to stop, either.
all i asked for is the ideas those opposed to the bill in question have for addressing the issue.
do they truly have none, or do we just not hear about them?-Paul

The latter. It's often hard for a powerless minority to get much media traction (unless of course one of them writes a book and then 11 AP reporters will have all sorts of interest). Here's the CBO's take on the GOP plan: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/op...-69270747.html

I am not the GOP but here is a idea. If 10% is the number than just raise everyones ins cost by 10% Done leave the gooberment out of it otherwise it will be 200% or more with 1/2 the coverage.
Mcdonalds can sell my lunch for 5 bucks and I can customize it in 30 seconds. The DMV takes 30 to 60 minutes to give me a pre printed sticker that cost about a nickel and charge me a 14 dollar handling fee plus the state and fed ad ons.

It is all a part of spreading the wealth. By the time Obama and the Dems are finished, we will all be poor.
We live in Cuba now is becoming one of my favorite lines, sad but true!
Our own Dem Sen. Mary Landreau is being bombarded with, "do not support this bill or else". She knows that if she supports this piece of crap legislation that she is finished.
BTW, the Republicans have offered solutions like Health Insurance Reform, Tort reform and other ideas. Trial Lawyers contribute too much $ to the Dems for the Dems to touch Tort Reform.
