My question was/is do these items not bother you, and if you disagree with any of them, please say so...

1. He promised a bill that would reduce health costs. He promised a bill that would address tort reform. He promised a public debate with both sides involved. He promised it would be extremely transparent. He did NONE of these things.

2. Frank was correct; what needed to be addressed was the job situation. He wasted a year NOT working on jobs. I do not mean LITERALLY wasted a year but most of his energies were focused NOT on jobs but on health care bill.

3. The bill was structured on so many if, ands and maybes, it was extremely difficult for the CBO to even project costs. The CBO as already begun increasing those costs. The administration AND congress are already borrowing money that was destined for health care bill.

4. The bill was passed ONLY because of deals made with drug companies, and final votes were actually the result of blackmail. La. and Neb. in particular sweetheart deals in direct deals made for their vote.

5. All polls showed that american citizens opposed the passage of this bill at the time of the passage. I am not big on polls but keep hearing about the evil Republicans not voting for the charade of a bill called BUFFET and having the polls show americans want it. If you want this is a wash !

These facts, and I believe they are facts and hope you can show me where I erred.......these facts alone reflect a total lack of leadership, misrepresentation and even lying. I might add that he had TOTAL control over both house and senate and the "payoffs" were to get his own party to vote on it.


Please lets discuss only this bill.....I happen to feel probably the same way that you do about the drug bill, and it has nothing to do with this bill.

Thanks for responding.
I never did this before, but going to bump this just to get some conversation on the health care bill.

I am asking any supporter of the President or this bill to please respond (especially WAYNENET because the response was specifically to his post) and let me know if I have misrepresented the scenario in anyway


Is anything here incorrect, false or even out of context ???
