Just spoke with several sources in the US Senate on the health-care reform legislation status. My inquiry concerned how the substance and procedure was going to unfold between now and a final cloture vote on the bill.

I would think that some Democrats like Blanche Lincoln and Ben Nelson are having second thoughts as a vote for Obamacare will be the kiss of death. Liberman has already said he will not vote for it.

I hope the people of South Dakota hold Sen. Tim Johnson accountable and make him give a public explanation of his vote. Johnson has been virtually incapacitated since his stroke two years ago and makes virtually no public appearances back home. His vote is virtually made by proxy by Harry Reid. Johnson should be forced to resign due to his disability.

” national major medical pool for those who don’t have other insurance - price based on income. I’m sure there are those who won’t agree with this ...I’m not sure I agree but there needs to be something that people at high risk can and buy into - like assigned risk auto insurance.”

or an alternative to this allow individuals to buy into medicare or medicaid HMO systems by paying the capitation rate monthly this would also tend to cap insurance costs. It cannot be that much more expensive to treat a 50 year old with a couple of preexisting conditions than a 65 and up person,

Please God let this HORRENDOUS bill die a painful, agonizing death. Please don’t let this crap pass. Let it fail, let it fail miserably

I would much prefer a very fast death.
