The bill, named "Quality, Affordable Health Coverage for All Americans,"

Are you kidding? The law would be known as QAHCA and prounced QUACK-A.

DeathCare or AuschwitzCare

They want the power of life and death over you, the serfs or peons of America. They are, of course, the Elitists or Royals.

This is just a committee vote.

Presumably it has to pass the full Senate AFTER another committee vote, then pass the House.

If that skunk got cap and trade through the House and this thing passes the full Senate, that lying dirtbag imposter will get BOTH bills approved.

VERY VERY BAD news for America.

I hope and pray that Keyes’ birthright suit succeeds and we can flush this piece of garbage down the toilette bowl of history by forcing him out of office.

Is it portable ?

Will Congress drop their present plan & sign up ?

Unless the answer to both of these is YES, it should be defeated.

Shockingly, no. They all voted against it.

They finally did something right.

Oshama will do ANYTHING to get ANY KIND of a health bill passed in the next couple of weeks.

He's fighting now for his political life. If this goes down his support from the left will erode fast.

GOP voted no. 13-10 on a party line vote.

I don't think any Repub is for this. Even Snowe spoke out against it.

Now there is a typical WaPo way of describing this horrific tax increase, confiscation of liberty and destroyer of life and health.

Under the legislation, most businesses would be required to offer insurance to workers or pay a $750 annual fee per full-time employee.

Duh. Most companies spend >$5,000 per employee on health insurance (and some spend a lot more than that). Now they have the option of dropping that and paying a $750 fee.
And 0bama says we can keep those policies if we want? In a pig's eye.
