House passes health care bill

[spursncowboys]

If this is so great, why was it voted on on Saturday? What is the precedent to voting on a weekend. Where the next week is shortened with Veterans Day.

Democrats versus Republicans...

That was awesome! Thanks for posting Nbadan!

The Dow closed at 10,023.42 Friday. I wonder how far it will drop now?

It will go up instead. Health care costs is one the things hurting the US economy and driving jobs out of the country. However, if and ever the US implements universal health care, it will take a while to get to a consistent system. I think there will be a lot of startup problems with it.

I guess it wasn't Doomsday for the stock market.

You mean the world didn't end? Well, that's a relief...

Two commie birds with one stone. National health care, and a National ID as a result.

What gets me is Pelosi said this bill would insure 95% of Americans.

Okay, we started out that 40 million were uninsured, by their own numbers, which is 13%. This bill, by her own admission, leaves out 5%. So basically, a 2000 page trillion+ dollar bill to insure another 8% that were previously uninsured.

Why not just chip in say, 100 billion a year to insure that 8% and call it 'good enough'. Not even. 50 billion would probably cover it.

Just expand medicaid and be done with it. Problem solved !!
