So, the bill has passed...and passed again

Yes, I was waiting a bit until the fire died down to comment on the health care bill. Apparantly, there have been death threats against the president (two highly reported are Americans of African origin, believe it or not), and there have been reports of a string of attacks against democratic offices (hmmm....weren't they busted not too long ago comitted acts of vandalism against themselves in order to gain sympathy? So....do we believe them this time, or not?)

Well, first of all, people weren't listening when others warned them that the insurance companies wrote this bill. And guess what! Now that it has passed, the insurance companies like it. Why? Because they wrote it. It forces you to pay for your own insurance, take the public plan, or pay a fine....

Unless, of course, you work for Washington. That's right! Members of congress and those working for them are exempt from the bill. Isn't that interesting?

Well, everyone will now be covered, right? Well, no....not if you have a pre-existing condition. Even children with pre-existing conditions are not guaranteed the right to insurance, either the public or the private.

So I have to ask....who does this bill help? Certainly not the people who the dems trotted out to whine and cry, saying their loved-ones passed away because they had no insurance. I guess Dems forgot about them when they voted for this bill. But you know...it'll make darn sure that those people who avoid purchasing health insurance for whatever reason will have to purchase it now!
