Too much hoopla over a watered down half - a$$ed overly compromised version of reform.
Hard to understand why everyone is so elated. Too many deals made behind closed doors - no transparency - I don't see what's changed. Although I'm happy that pre-existing conditions can't be excluded anymore.

This is only the first step... a good step, nonetheless, a first step. It's the Senate's turn.

We just got to be vigilent.

Another pretty visual this song brings to mind - an episode of the Simpsons where Monty Burns chases Homer and wants to play his cassette of "Ride of the Vaklyries" but can only find "Abba's Greatest Hits" so he plays this song during the chase scene.

How ironic that DeMint has made it a more fitting song for the recent "chase"!

I agree - it's just an irritating distraction - messy too.

All Americans need to think about the Common Welfare of everyone, so all can truly enjoy the Blessings of Liberty this Country has to offer . This is not Socialism, fascism , Communism, or any other ‘ism’. It is Common Sense. The only question that should be asked is: Will this be a Country ruled by Big Corporations, the super-rich , or Banks, or will this Country continue to be governed by the you, me, and our healthy future generations.

Those against this reform are fond of haunting us with the memories of the Founding Fathers. Those gentlemen are also referred to as the Framers of the Constitution. Why Framers? It is because they intended the structure of our Country would remain intact, but the landscape would continue to grow and change. They hoped we would evolve, take care of each other, and be able to enjoy working and growing together, as one Country. Today we took a step in that direction.

No, many of us are against this bill (Dems) see it for what it is, a giveaway to the insurance cartel--don't lump us with the teabaggers or repugs. Real reform would be an expansion of an improved MEDICARE for all who want in--not a mandate to by a defective product sold by a middle man getting rich off the backs of sick people.
Instead we're slaves to the insurance cartel, whilst only 6 million will get the so-called "public option" that will cost MORE than the dam* insurance.
Many will be left with nothing or dumped in Medicaid which is crappy. To qualify for Medicaid, you can't have more than 250.00 in the bank. you can't be a home owner--plus, very few doctors take it.

Why not just have Medicare for everyone who wants in--rich, poor, health, sick, famous, unknown?
All this complicated beuracracy--when it could have been kept simple and billions cheaper.
Saturday, we took a step forward --right into the pockets of the insurance companies.

Why do we need a for profit middle man? Riddle me that.

I agree with most of what you are saying. But real reform cannot happen overnight. Or in 9 months. It’s taken decades to get this far, and I’m not convinced this bill will be passed. Much of it I do not agree with, as usual women are getting the short shrift. But this is more than we have had before.

Until this Country wakes up and elects forward thinking people in enough numbers, super super majority, we will be stuck in 1797.

Mike - I bet you will be taking advantage of this "socialist" health care bill in its first year.

My beef is that they did it on a Saturday at night. I'm in favor of a healthcare bill.(Please see my previous posts.) But when they do stuff like this on a weekend and come out with it on Saturday night I am suspicious that they are trying to pull something. Or would congress never do anything like that?

Chelsea,

THis bill was NEVER going to cover abortions. That would be against established federal law. Also, this is just a start. Obama is getting what he can. He can not snap his fingers and creates Single Payer.
