Those poor excuses (dimRats) for human beings can't win for losing -

BTW Rush's auction is now $1,200,100.00

Why don't we get the dimRats to write some more letters - and EVERYone can have free health insurance.

Somehow, I don't think we'll see many more dingy harry type letters for a while...

Funny how these facts get reported AFTER the fact, isn’t it?

“Since so many families well above the poverty level are included in this bill, a much simpler and effective strategy to get them affordable insurance would be to allow them to purchase insurance policies outside their own states. This would open up the markets for families held hostage by states with massive mandates and regulatory costs that drive up insurance premiums, such as New Jersey.

AMEN! We've tried to find bare bones health insurance, even very high deductible insurance, but it isn't sold here in MA. That's because Democrats want everyone paying higher rates in order to subsidize the 'poor', even though the poor are not buying private insurance, they're covered under Mass Health! We figured that when we move back to MS, our health insurance premiums will be about half of what they are now.

A better idea would be federal legislation prohibiting atate mandates re what policies cover, as well as spelling out that people are free to buy insurance from anywhere they like. This wouldn't really be adding any new federal meddling, but rather just explicitly putting an end to much of the existing mountain of unconstitutional state meddling with interstate commerce, personal liberties, and private property, that has been built up in the area of medical care and financing. And next, maybe the mountain of federal meddling could be attacked . . .

AAPS members are the anarchists of the medical profession. They typically do not accept insurance, Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement. I’m not surprised they applauded this decision.
