Pelosi Unveils Health Bill With Government-Run Insurance Option
Fox News / Politics ^ | 10/29/2009 | Fox News

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unveiled a retooled health care overhaul plan Thursday intended to bridge differences among Democrats and open a history-making floor debate on extending health insurance to nearly all Americans.

Speaking on the West Front of the Capitol surrounded by Democratic lawmakers, Pelosi, D-Calif., said the House's version of a health care reform bill will include a government-run insurance option and extend coverage to 36 million uninsured Americans. She said the bill will lower patient costs and reduce the national deficit.

"The Affordable Health Care Act will ensure, again, affordability for the middle class, security for our seniors, and responsibility to our children," Pelosi said, adding that the legislation puts a major emphasis on preventative care.

Pelosi wants to have the legislation on the floor next week -- with a final vote before Veterans Day, Nov. 11 -- which would give President Obama a bill to sign by year's end, numerous Democratic officials said.

The thing is, it is not about health care. It is not about better health care, cheaper health care or any other aspect of the industry and what it provides.

It is about building a voting base out of ILLEGALS, CONTROL over American citizens, CONTROL over the medical industry, and furthering their destruction of a free, capitalistic America.

Period.

So, what does this mean? That we get to choose our own health insurance but also to pay for government insurance on five or six illegals as well?

Nancy Pulosi is a Mafia Prncess. I got banned from the Boston Hertald site for that. Her father was Tom D’Allessandro the most corrupt mayor Baltimore ever had. His business associates were Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lanskey.

Pelosi!...you POS!.... It must feel real good to lower the boom on everyone else when you have enough personal wealth to never have to worry about high taxes or wanting a lavish lifestyle. The best part for you is, if you get sick you can afford any doctor for anything you want while all the rest of us get to go before a board and plead for our lives!

Are they going to have a vote before Tuesday night? Because some elections on Tuesday might wake up a few waffling Dems to change their vote.
