You have to focus on the big picture like a libtard would.. Even Pelosi has stated that they would loose some seats because of this bill. Why is she willing to sacrifice the blue dogs? While we are busy discussing costs, Pelosi and Reid behind closed doors are promising all the ‘sacrifices’ a nice cushy job in one of the new created health care bureaucracys. ‘We will give you a nice cushy job with no stress and all the benifits if you just fall on the sword’. The fix is in folks, all this drama is for nothing. They will pass this. They do not care about costs or how well this works, it is about power over you and everything you do..

It would be far cheaper to give every person below the poverty line a $2,000/year voucher to buy health insurance, and let them ~~buy it or not according to their own choice~~.

Excellent observation. The details however, are irrelevant. It could be $5 Trillion to no concern of theirs. It is not their money, so the trillions don’t matter.

Power and Control matter. It has always been a Trojan Horse clothed in sentimental piety.

$1.8 Trillion over 10 years is $180 Billion per year, and according to the bill’s proponents, this is supposed to cover 36 million uninsured people. That comes out to an average of $5,000 per year per person.

Most private insurance companies offer “family” coverage, which cover the premium payer’s spouse and children for MUCH less than $20,000 per year. Pelosi’s plan is basically a “Cadillac” plan on the taxpayers’ backs, while throwing the 85% of the population satisfied with their health insurance into rationed care. It would be far cheaper to give every person below the poverty line a $2,000/year voucher to buy health insurance, and let them buy it or not according to their own choice.

Isn’t it clear to everybody, that these Democrats don’t care about the cost to the U.S. citizens, because they are going to get their money and be long gone before these programs go into effect!
Then their successors will blame the Republicans for spending out of control during their terms.

THESE DEMOCRATS ARE NOTHING BUT LIARS AND THIEVES!

When unemployment was 200,000 a week under W. it was a recession when it’s 512,000 under the Lyin Pinnochio it is the best weekly unemployment number since January!

What happened in January? Oh yea the Fascists took over.

Hang em high and let God sort em out!

I’d rather go back to W’s recession?

Is your economic situation better or worse since the Lyin Pinnochio Presidente took power?
