"House health care bill over $1 trillion for decade"
WASHINGTON — Health care legislation taking shape in the House carries a price tag of at least $1 trillion over a decade, significantly higher than the target President Barack Obama has set, congressional officials said Friday as they struggled to finish work on the measure for a vote early next month.
Translation: the DEMOCRATS LIED TO YOU about the COST, America!
Democrats have touted an unreleased Congressional Budget Office estimate of $871 billion in recent days, a total that numerous officials acknowledge understates the bill's true cost by $150 billion or more....
OR MORE?!!
In the House, Democrats have tentatively concluded they cannot win passage of the provisions favored by most liberals, one calling for a nationwide government-run plan....
Well, LIBERALS should be used to being shat in the face by now. And if this isn't passing the HOUSE, it DOESN'T HAVE A PRAYER in the Senate!
And I JUST LOVE the REEDITED REWRITE that is TOTALLY DIFFERENT from my printed paper.
Now WHY WOULD the Globe and AP want to EXCISE and CENSOR that information?
More than two dozen anti-abortion Democrats believe it would, and while their opposition is unlikely to stall the legislation in the end, they are at odds with Democratic leaders just weeks ahead of anticipated floor action on the bill.
Well, some Democrats aren't be all bad!!!!
And NOTICE, LIBERALS, that CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS get SWIFT ATTENTION -- even as the MSM mangles the account! If it were UNLIKELY TO STALL the legislation they WOULD NOT HAVE BROUGHT IT UP then AXED IT because it DOESN'T SERVE the AGENDA-PUSHING MESSAGE!
Lawmakers on the other side say they've compromised as far as they can....
But when LIBERALS COME a KNOCKIN' it is F*** OFF!!!!
It is called BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF, pathetic lefties!
Btw, I DO NOT SUPPORT the Republican party in ANY WAY because THEY DO NOT SUPPORT ME! WAKE UP, lefties! It is a choice between FREEDOM and FASCISM now because WE HAVE ONE PARTY with two letters: the WAR PARTY of WALL STREET!
30 anti-abortion Democrats released a letter to Pelosi saying their concerns remain unresolved....
Those seem to be 30 IMPORTANT VOTES because LOOK at the UPDATE the Globe provided:

"Pelosi pressures Democrats on health bill; Could cost over $1 trillion; She may not get 218 votes" by Robert Pear and David M. Herszenhorn, New York Times | October 24, 2009
WASHINGTON - Speaker Nancy Pelosi stepped up the pressure on House Democrats yesterday to support her preferred version of legislation....
So the FEDERAL FUNDS for the kosher slaughter were taken out, huh?
Pelosi had not locked down the votes....
Pelosi finds herself once again caught between two wings of her caucus: the progressives.... and moderate-to-conservative Democrats....
And WE KNOW WHO ALWAYS WINS THAT ONE, 'ey, liberals?
At a meeting with Pelosi on Thursday, liberal Democrats like Representatives Yvette D. Clarke of New York and Jan Schakowsky of Illinois spoke forcefully for a robust public option. Pelosi told them that she had well over 200 votes, but that it was proving difficult to reach the goal of 218....
Then THAT is not WELL OVER, you LYING BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So if it CAN'T EVEN GET OUT of the HOUSE, it is D.O.A. in the Senate, right, lying, agenda-pushing MSM?
"Health care bill likely to cut employer mandate; But big firms could be facing higher penalty" by David Espo, Associated Press | October 26, 2009
WASHINGTON - Businesses would not be required to provide health insurance under legislation being readied for Senate debate, but large firms would owe significant penalties if any worker needed government subsidies to buy coverage on their own, according to Democratic officials familiar with talks on the bill....
Then it is NOTHING BUT a TAX BILL for YOU, America!
Either that, or you MUST BUY SHITTY INSURANCE from a PRICE-GOUGING, LOOTER!
The Democratic officials also said individuals would generally be required to purchase affordable insurance if it were available, and face penalties if they defied the requirement....
This is why WE DO NOT WANT THIS UNCONSTITUTIONAL MONSTROSITY!!!!
WHERE does it say I HAVE TO BUY HEALTH INSURANCE in there? I hear things like "promote the general welfare" and yet I have NO SINGLE-PAYER, UNIVERSAL CARE like the REST of the INDUSTRIALIZED WORLD and I have a POLLUTED and POISONED COUNTRY AWASH in PRESCRIPTION DRUGS, etc.
The requirement for individuals to purchase insurance would include provisions to exempt individuals or families unable to find affordable coverage. Those who are obligated to buy coverage and refuse would face a fine of perhaps $100 in the first year of the program.
Baucus Plan Allows for Fines Up to $3,800 for Failing to Get Health Insurance
And they WONDER WHY NO ONE BELIEVES the S*** THEY SHOVEL?
There is no penalty for individuals in the first year of the program in the Senate Finance Committee bill, a provision inserted at the request of Senator Olympia J. Snowe. The Maine Republican is the only member of her party in either house of Congress to vote for a Democratic-backed health care bill in committee this year....
The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss the private negotiations involving key Senate Democrats and the White House. They also stressed that no final decisions have been made on the details of the measure, expected to reach the Senate floor in about two weeks.
In a separate development yesterday, Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York, a leading advocate for a government-run insurance option, said the proposal is close to gaining the 60 votes needed to pass the Senate and probably will be in the overhaul legislation.
What a LIAR! See: Slimy Schumer
Oh, the *** is UP TO HIS NECK in the FINANCIAL MESS, huh?
Speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press,’’ Schumer said a version of the public option that is gaining wide support would allow states to choose not to participate in a government-sponsored program.... Like a companion measure in the House, it would create a new federally regulated marketplace, termed an exchange, in which individuals and families could purchase insurance sold by private industry. Federal subsidies would be available to help those at lower incomes afford the cost.
Subsidies would also be available to smaller businesses as an incentive for them to provide insurance. Nominally, Reid’s task is to meld bills already passed by the Senate Finance Committee and the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. In reality, however, he has a virtual free hand in coming up with a measure, with a goal of amassing a 60-vote majority to overcome a threatened Republican filibuster....
The switch Reid is considering is an attempt to increase the number of people with insurance, a key goal of the legislation. Officials familiar with the Senate negotiations said the bill is likely to maintain a federal health care program for lower-income children as a stand-alone program, rather than folding it into the broad national insurance exchange. The legislation is also expected to include an option for states to negotiate with private industry to provide group coverage for lower-income residents.
WHATEVER IT IS, WE DON'T WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!
