This has been posted before, but just for you.....

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.3200:
Do you think I'm going to be any less confused?  From what I'm understanding, no matter what is written there, and how clearly stated it is, everyone is calling everyone else a liar when they interpret what IS clearly stated.  I can't get an educated opinion on this issue. :(
Looks like I've come full circle.

Show me him saying it or the bill not just an "oped" piece.

It CERTAINLY can't be any worse that what I have now! And from reading THE BILL, it WILL be better.
Then you'd better get your glasses changed or if you don't wear them get some.

There is no "bill" because the Republicans haven't offered one.  :rolleyes:

I want my OWN educated opinoin. LOL  It's probably not wise to listen to just one.  That's where we keep getting people calling other people liars.   Anyway.  I don't even care.  I've lived 48 years with subpar health care, just about anything is going to be better, even if it ends up that I will be selected to let die after a certain age.  The way it is for me right now, that's exactly what's going to happen.  No medical treatment when I'm old and infirm.

I'm not trying to be a smartass here, but the best way to get an educated opinion is to read the bill.

Wrong.....They have offered THREE...

n May, Republicans in the House and the Senate formed a bicameral coalition to produce the130-page " Patients Choice Act of 2009"

In June, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) introduced a 41-page proposal.... "Health Care Freedom Plan"
                                   
And in July, the Republican Study Committee, under the leadership of Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.), unveiled a 130-page plan. "Empowering Patients First Act,"

All three are very interesting and WORTH National attention...

No they're not; they're the same bunch of dumb rednecks as were downtown at that tea-bagging party.

There are and how are these bills different from that offered by the other side of the aisle?

It does not raise taxes or increase government spending...but uses the money we currently spend more effectively.

All this came about because Bo said the republicans did not offer one...and THAT is wrong...(or a lie, to use YOUR terminalogy)....

Then he said there is NO record of these bills ever being introduced....again...wrong.

Are they different.........off the cuff, YES they are...try reading them and see for yourself.

Are you absolutely certain that both of those things are true and if I can prove you wrong on either of them, will yuou admit you don't know what you're talking about and stay out of any further discussions about health care reform?
