Senate Finance comm on Healthcare

How do they reconcile this crap with what the CBO has determined?

Democrats cite CBO to boost healthcare case

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives pounced on a congressional budget analysis to bolster their plan for a government-run health insurance option on Monday, as party leaders said they were closer to agreement on healthcare reform.

The report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said the public option proposed by Democrats would not drive private insurers out of business and most people would still choose to get their medical coverage through employers.

The public option has come under heavy fire from Republicans who say it will devastate the private insurance industry.

"We're moving closer to a point where we can hold insurance companies accountable," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, told reporters, repeating her frequent prediction that once a bill hits the floor for a vote "it will win."

President Barack Obama's drive for healthcare reform has stalled in the Senate and House, which are controlled by his fellow Democrats, amid criticism from all sides about the cost, scope and funding of the more
than $1 trillion measure.

A deadline to approve initial versions of the bill before a monthlong congressional recess in August is dead in the Senate and endangered in the House, where Democrats have argued among themselves over reining in costs.

Republicans in both chambers have slammed the measures as an expensive first step toward a government takeover of healthcare

Not to provide coverage is stupid as fuck.

All the other industrialized nations of the world can provide healthcare to their citizens but we can't figure it out.

You exist in a plutocracy brother.

Here is where we part on the socialism bent you have.
I don't want to be force to buy it, many of the 40 Million in the democrats scare tactic number don't want it if it's 50% cheaper.

link the 40 million who said they wanted and didn't get.
clue it doesn't exist.

Fact, I have two 20 something sons who would not buy insurance if not covered by me. I didn't buy it till I got it cheap from a corp at 24.
Not everybody wants or needs insurance, that's why Hillarycare is being watered down significantly
