Click http://www.kff.org/healthreform/sidebyside.cfm for the truth about where the proposals are in the process.

In the meantime, tell us how happy you are about this:


"Health insurance premiums for nearly 200,000 people covered by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan policies would increase an average of 22 percent -- far less than the company originally sought -- under a tentative agreement reached Thursday"

Thirty-five percent (35%) of American voters say passage of the bill currently working its way through Congress would be better than not passing any health care reform legislation this year. However, a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that most voters (54%) say no health care reform passed by Congress this year would be the better option.


This does not mean that most voters are opposed to health care reform. But it does highlight the level of concern about the specific proposals that Congressional Democrats have approved in a series of Committees. To this point, there has been no Republican support for the legislative effort although the Senate Finance Committee is still attempting to seek a bi-partisan solution.


Not surprisingly, there is a huge partisan divide on this issue. Sixty percent (60%) of Democrats say passing the legislation in Congress would be the best course of action. However, 80% of Republicans take the opposite view. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 23% would like the Congressional reform to pass while 66% would rather the legislators take no action.


Voters who earn less than $20,000 a year are evenly divided but a majority of all other voters would prefer no action. Middle income voters, those who earn from $40,000 to $75,000 a year, are most strongly in favor of taking no action.

This just proves that people have not gotten any smarter since they elected Bush twice.

It looks like the pharma and Obama are good buddies now, making deals behind closed doors.

Yep, follow the money, honey.

And yet, they don't know what that something should be, because they listen to the likes of Rush who supports the pharma in more ways than one! Via Viagra! I bet he gets his lifetime supply now for free!

This is total BS, as many as 12 different R plans have been submitted but never scheduled for discussion by the committee head.
 
You are welcome to list it directly under your post that gives the number of uninsured children you find acceptable.
 
I'd swear I already answered that question....why don't you check through all the threads where you've asked it and make sure....

Simmer down son, it was a joke, forgot my smiley face.

I heard two gentlemen on Real Time and Issa from California had some good ideas. The subcoms are a good reason why nothing great ever gets done in Congress.

What I find most interesting is this:
