Today is the day that it all hit the fan. Perfect day for Obama to give us a good "rally" pumping his "health care"...
 
Obama would be the "seer" predicting the doom of the nation in my scenario. Only in your sad little mind would it be seen the way you do...

Well you'd make a good prophet of doom on this one Damo cause, as like all prophets of doom. You're wrong.

You might as well be opposing the civil rights movement.

This is just hackery, Mott and usually beneath you. If you think opposing this malformation of health care bill means opposing or believing reform unnecessary then you are just drinking the kool-ade.

It's how our system works. There's absolutely no way to create a reform package that would make you and all other persons (particularly the insurance industry) happy. This is just one step in a long series of steps. You're simply on the wrong side of history.

This one makes the insurance industry very happy, especially malpractice insurance companies. You are again just drinking the kool-ade. This bill stinks, and the more people learn about it or hear about it from the Ds the more they don't want it passed.

Yes, wishing for Obama's assassination (and the assassination of millions of uninsured), perfectly normal, damo.

That's the complete opposite of reality. In their attempt to murder millions of uninsured, Republicans rely on disinformation. Because when people actually understand the bill, they support it universally, unless they're evil.

IF that were true why would the insurance indusry be sending hordes of lobbying to DC to kill this thing?

If anything the bill has been watered down far to much but it's a start and a precedent and only a beginning.
 
Profit-wise, this bill is pretty much a wash for insurance companies. They get more customers (of course, that's what happens when more are insured) but they also have to deal with stricter regulation that will squash their margins.

That's inane. The insurance industry isn't sending anybody to do that, they may have some trying to lobby against certain aspects but having people forced to buy your product is not a "bad" thing to any company. Imagine having a bill passed that forced everybody to pay you for being you, you wouldn't be lobbying against it either.

You can't squash a 3% margin. More people will be more money.
