Or so the former Senate Republican Leader, a surgeon who has written a new book on health care, told me a few minutes ago in an interview.
Were he still in the Senate, "I would end up voting for it," he said. "As leader, I would take heat for it. ... That's what leadership is all about."

In the end, Republicans always cave. That’s why they’re not in power.

what a RINO.
The problem is that he - as are all Washington denizens - is a politician, and, as such, can’t even consider the proposition that Government may not have a valid role in many - if not most - situations...

He’s a screwdriver who thinks he’s got to be a hammer.
Hello, DOCTOR Frist? Why do most of your colleagues believe they will bail out of an Obamacare?
Frist has always been for this, forcing everyone to buy health insurance. As I long as I can remember.
“That’s what leadership is all about.”
Exhibit A why the Repubs lost their way.
Congress has made it perfectly clear that even the opposition was 100% against this crime, they don’t give a damn what we think, they’re determined to shove it down our throats,,while exempting themselves. This is tyranny!!!
Watch how this goes viral and is used as cover on all the Sunday shows.
“How radical can it be if the former (R) Senate leader, a doctor no less, woud vote for it.”
“Shows how far right the republicans have moved.”
Etc.
There is one question that never gets answered; how are you going to pay for it? That doesn’t seem to stop them from keep saying we need more and more.
Our “leadership” has bankrupt this nation and still they want to spend more.

Thank God!

Ther are about 40 more ditrbags tha should be FORMER ... and I’m only talking about the “r” side. Hey .. sounds like I think most of the “r’s are dirtbag rinos ... and if you think that is what it sounds like ...
You would be right.
Thank HEAVENS you are gone, Bill.
Nothing. He was my Senator and he was a disappointment in the Senate from day one. As with most Republicans Frist was far too willing to compromise on fundamental conservative issues. Frist is yet another glaring example of a so-called Republican that goes along to get along....
If John Warner (”R”-VA) were still there, there is no doubt in my mind he would be supporting this.
Has my entire nation become shy to use the words Marxist-Socialism to describe the system that is quickly entrapping us? Or is it that the overwhelming majority of Americans are so far removed from education in the political sciences to understand what socialism has done to whole groupings of countries? Are we so entirely duped?
MMM-— HCA bigwig. I wonder what deals the hospitals are makeing to get this passed and money into their pockets?
SCUMBAG RINO ALERT!
Bill Frist in the Bush years was no conservative. I felt he was a weak-sister when in congress and part and parcel of the GOP failures and problems.
Ding Ding Ding — we have got a winner!
All of corporate healthcare, be it providers or suppliers, support anything that will protect their cash flow and bottom line in the future. They do not care if it is private dollars or tax dollars that flow into their coffers. The HCA’s of the world know that the current reimbursement system is unsustainable given Medicare's looming insolvency coupled with the economy being in shambles. After all, the paramount duty of a CEO is to maximize profit and return to their stockholders. Kind of a catch 22, we have met the enemy and he are us situation. We support personal freedom and capitalism as long as it does not interfere with our return on investment.
