The only conglomerate of people it will satisfy will be the health insurance companies who knew from the very beginning that Congress would put more $-signs inside their eyes. The sickening thing was that they lobbied extremely hard against some of the reforms that vaguely represented universal health care (i.e. the public option). Then, the whole charade of the Stupak amendment just made this one mime show too many

It's impossible to get anywhere when we're warring with ourselves. I mean honestly, republicans and democrats have been fighting for a year over something that doesn't even matter that much.

The US National Debt is approaching 13 trillion dollars! Entitlement programs - Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security - amount to 50+ trillion dollars. (A figure conveniently overlooked by the media and Obama Administration.) And now... we seemingly have a new entitlement program: Health Care! How are we going to pay for this?
Meanwhile, the US Government continues to borrow money from China and Japan, amongst other countries, and the FED continues to print fiat money (while American citizens and businesses are taxed to oblivion). On top of that, the US has a trade deficit - meaning, the US imports more than it exports. This does not strengthen the US dollar and/or the US economy, and it certainly does not create jobs. It only ensures chaos, poverty and dependence on government. This is a mathematical fact.
Our country is in such dire shape, that countries like China, Singapore and Saudi Arabia are opting for a new world reserve currency! Reports have even circulated over the US loosing it's AAA credit score. These are screaming indicators of a major storm brewing.
I prefer to describe myself as a neo-libertarian-nazi-socialist-facist-communist-imperialist.
1. Adult children may remain as dependents on their parents’ policy until their 27th birthday.
2. Children under age 19 may not be excluded for pre-existing conditions.
3. No more lifetime or annual caps on coverage.
4. Free preventative care for all on medicare.
5. Adults with pre-existing conditions may buy into a national high-risk pool until the exchanges come online. While these will not be cheap, they’re still better than total exclusion and get some benefit from a wider pool of insureds.
6. Small businesses will be entitled to a tax credit for 2009 and 2010, which could be as much as 50% of what they pay for employees’ health insurance.
7. The “donut hole” closes for Medicare patients, making prescription medications more affordable for seniors.
8. Requirement that all insurers must post their balance sheets on the Internet and fully disclose administrative costs, executive compensation packages, and benefit payments.
9. Authorizes early funding of community health centers in all 50 states. Community health centers provide primary, dental and vision services to people in the community, based on a sliding scale for payment according to ability to pay.
10. No more rescissions. Effective immediately, you can't lose your insurance because you get sick.
ALL within six months! Suck on that you Christian capitalist pigs! The statue of liberty will be burning within the year and all of you will be slaves to our fair and rational health care plan!
I agree. Nothing is more importnat than to be prouder of reactionary litigation based on non-understanding of American law, which has been clearly defined in this area for over 200 years. Good luck overturning that.
Think of all the money this over-litigation will cost the taxpayers, hitting them from both the state (plantiff) and federal (defendant) sides. I thought we were against wasteful litigation that simply drives up costs for the taxpayers...
