it was already presented to congress you nimrod
why are you being so ****ing obtuse
it failed prior to summer vacation
you are touting the Huffington post spin machine with this final bill bull****
it passed the house and the senate refused to vote on it before summer vacation despite Dear Leaders pressure to do so
So, in fact no final version of any HC reform bill was presented on the floors of both houses of Congress for a vote, prior to summer vacation & therefore no billed "Failed prior to summer vacation" as you erroneously stated when you called ME a nimrod!
If true, it tells me that their medical care plan(s) are free to them and high enough in quality that private insurance plans are not a better option.
No government medical care to Congress or federal employee is free. (military is I think) These plans are paid for by the government employee & usually are BC&BS , Harvard Pilgrim, etc.....In other words....Private HC insurance companies who contract with the government.
What/'s wrong with that?

I diagree with your opinion. I think it can be done.
Perhaps I misunderstood.
I was under the impression that you were saying you wanted a UHC system in the US, and that the congressional, military, and governmental employee HC plans were a good example of how it should be done.
As I:
Thus, I was led to believe that you were saying the current governmental programs for health care of their employees were the same. As I had no personal knowledge of such.
- Personally have almost no knowledge of those systems.
- Was under the impression that UHC (which is how I view the goal of the current bill) was, essentially. government controlled and run medical care, which would replace most if not all private control of such things.
And I answered with that in mind.
and guess who pays their salariesThe Congressional & government employee health plans are:
1. Paid for by the employee
2. Run by private insurance companies (like BC/BS)
3. Do not pay for abortions
4. Do not have "Death Panels" , like your private insurance does.
and guess who pays their salaries
Hard working citizens of this country pay Everyone's salaries........Public & private.
nice of you to leave out the important part of my post and ignore it in your reply as well :roll:
I don't think opposition to Obama is mostly based on race. I think it is emotionally-based on the fact that he is a democrat and had an emotionally-based following amongst liberals running up to the election that was directly proportional to the emotionally-based opposition that was felt amongst said liberals to the Bush administration.
And while we're talking about not insulting the intelligence of the posters here, let's stop calling Obama a socialist. Sound fair?
No, Obama is not a de facto socialist; he is, however, the most socialistic President this country has ever seen.
None of your replies have any important parts!:lol:
(sorry.....You left yourself wide open for that!!)
that was funny
but it would have been funnier if in a subsequent you actually replied to the missing part
That is what the real problem IS,........ The public's misunderstanding of what a national HC plan will be.
Lack of understanding & deliberate misinformation has misled many Americans into thinking UHC will be free, pay for illegal aliens, pay for abortions & be run by government bureaucrats.....None of which is true.
Once the public understand what the real public HC system is, they overwhelmingly like it. That's what scares the private insurance companies......Their profits will be cut!

I agree that the Obama administration has not done as good a job of getting out the truth as the GOP/HC Industry has done getting out lies & scare tactics.
I think this will change in September when summer recess is over.
Then, the House...The Senate....Blue Dogs Dems & any Repubs who care to will thrash out a compromise bill that will be favored by the public, passed by Congress & signed by Obama.
Amen. I agree completely.our government has shown throughout it's history that anything of this sort that is attempted by them will cost more than they say, do less than they say, and cause a multitude of side-effects.
I thought FDR had that title?
