Greg Walden has done the citizens of Oregon and indeed the Nation a great favor! He is actually reading the Health Care Bill!
It is a sad state of affairs when the House of Representatives forces votes on sweeping and tremendously expensive legislation with out even reading what is in the measures it passes!
Well one member of that august body is actually doing his job. Greg Walden is reading the bill! According to his twitter site the Representative was hoping to have the bill read by the 18th of this month. In the intervening days, there have been further mark-ups to the bill and blue dog democrats continue to raise concerns about the costs of the bill. Rightly so!

Lord above.... this makes me SICK TO MY STOMACH. They are writing legislation to KILL people! This is SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on! This assumes that Congerspersons (sic) can read.
LOL Well at least the (R) from Oregon can! LOL
This assumes that Congerspersons (sic) can read.
No SIC needed although this legislation makes me sic (sic). Congersperson is an apt mispelling since some (most?) of them are like slime eels.
Most of them need to be sharply encouraged to renter the private sector!
Greg, keep up the good fight, and kick a$$!
I SO WISH I were in your district! Instead I have Wu... (barf)
I here you. But on the bright side, I think Wu speaks Klingon, and is very knowledgeable about Star Trek. /s
Just what is buried in the back half of the bill that they DON'T want everyone to see?
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
LonePalm, le Républicain du verre cassé (The Broken Glass Republican)
The bill’s language is just the tip of the iceberg. Those 1,000 pages of bill will translate into tens of thousands of pages of new government regulations.
....... /cry
I am afraid you are right. I love Star Trek, but I hate it’s socialist bent.
Not to mention thousands of new Government employees who will be completely inefficient due to the fact the can NEVER BE FIRED! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Oregon Ping!
What the hell does this even have to do with health care?
It means that the physicians cannot own or invest in their hospitals. There are several physician owned hospitals here in Houston. Doesnt’ really have anything to do with health care.
Not a thing, its all about CONTROLLING them so they can force the Government death mandates I am sure.
Do I really need a /sarc tag with that last comment?
My mother always told me that they would start killing off the old people and I mocked her. She's mocking me now.
Don't know if you've seen this or not yet...
The assault against seniors began with the stimulus package in February. Slipped into the bill was substantial funding for comparative effectiveness research, which is generally code for limiting care based on the patient’s age. Economists are familiar with the formula, where the cost of a treatment is divided by the number of years (called QALYs, or quality-adjusted life years) that the patient is likely to benefit. In Britain, the formula leads to denying treatments for older patients who have fewer years to benefit from care than younger patients.
When comparative effectiveness research appeared in the stimulus bill, Rep. Charles Boustany Jr., (R., La.) a heart surgeon, warned that it would lead to “denying seniors and the disabled lifesaving care.” He and Sen. Jon Kyl (R., Ariz.) proposed amendments to no avail that would have barred the federal government from using the research to eliminate treatments for the elderly or deny care based on age.
In a letter this week to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, White House budget chief Peter Orszag urged Congress to delegate its authority over Medicare to a newly created body within the executive branch. This measure is designed to circumvent the democratic process and avoid accountability to the public for cuts in benefits.

Obama was bragging on this at today's town hall in OH. To him, killing off the old people is one of the plan's major selling points!
