14 REASONS WHY HEALTH CARE BILL SHOULD BE DOA

This is just one, and its a biggy I have included the link to the rest of this article.

13. (NEW)Under President Obama's health care bill, federal subsides to help low- and middle-income households to pay for health insurance won't start flowing until 2013, but Medicare cuts and a sizable chunk of the tax increases to pay for the overhaul kick in immediately. Again I ask why the hurry is it just that the American public is catching up on the boondoggle to quickly with the Internet in play?

My unanswered questions:
Why do we have to pay for years and get NOTHING before this kicks in?
On CSPAN this (Tues.) AM I watched briefly a meeting about health care. Dennis
Rivera from SEIU was present. I did a little checking on this man HMMM, typical SEIU. How much of this bill has been written by SEIU or other special interest groups?
Thank you!
You!

    Just read the actual bill. No out of context wingnut stuff. Read the entire thing. If you have any questions, post them with page and paragraph and someone here will answer your questions and most likely, provide you with new ones with said answers. Please, read it for yourself, do not take things out of context. If possible, read it with an open mind as to benefits and drawbacks. To quote a phrase from a serious conservative "death panels". The Death Panels were first introduced when insurance was made private. Link follows.

    "Then came the very first actual insurance contract, signed in Genoa in 1347. Policies were signed by individuals, either alone or in a group. They each wrote their name and the amount of risk they were willing to assume under the insurance proposal. That’s where the term underwriter came from."

    A little altruism from the conservatives here would be a nice touch, but it seems that it is beyond you.

    Thnks for your comment. From what I have read is very concerning.
    The bottom line: Our nation is in so much debt we cannot afford to do this. Further there are better ways Solve the actual problems that exist. YES health care needs REFORM NOT this! I know two people that if it weren't for the private sector of health care they would be dead both on state care..

    I'm with Shell, this stinks. Hopefully if the repubs win today, the moderate dems will think twice before they vote for this or next year they will be out.

    Thanks herb we all know what did happen. I sure wish the Rep had voted against the abortion amendment because then there would not have been enough Dems to pass that monster.
