Bill Frist. The doctor who diagnosed Terri Shavio from a ten minute film on the floor of the Senate who had never examined her. He claimed she was alive and a feeling, thinking entity, and that her eyes followed the movements of others from across the room. And when the autopsy was done, half her brain was gone and the other half had holes.

The Bill Frist whose family is worth millions in the area of nursing homes and pharmaceuticals. Boy if this idiot is practicing medicine, I hope his patients know what he is. Gee Bill, can you say mal practice insurance? Rather then listen to this idiot, I will take my chances with a witch doctor and the entrails of a chicken.

republicans never come out weak on any issue. They just don’t care what public opinion is when it comes to the bottom line; all they need is the slightest weak-ass reasoning to use as an excuse and accept that as being sufficient political cover.

Frist is laying out the basic plan of attack that will be used to pass a bill containing a “Public Option” that leaves private insurance companies in place to rake in additional profits through a mandated coverage. It’s something the Dem’s will gradually come on board with.

More bluntly, Dean remarked, “If Republicans want to shill for insurance companies, then we should do it with 51 votes.”

Pardon me, Mr. Dean, but what should we do with the Congressional Democrats who are shilling for insurance comapanies?

This is of great and pressing importance. It is one thing which is missing in TP since ObaOba took office…

Shame: The ‘Anti-War’ Democrats Who Sold Out

You gotta ask yourself…who really cares WHAT Bill Frist thinks OR says..??

Why isn’t health insurance set up like car insurance? Your car insurance rates go down if you don’t get any tickets or file claims against your policy. So why isn’t the health industry offering the same type of coverage to people that stay healthy and never use their coverage?

I haven’t had a ticket in over 20 years and I end up changing insurance for my car every 6 months because they raise my rates. And I actually get a cut in the rate only if I change companies.

Works for me!

It’s funny to watch the man who threatened to change 200 years of Senate rules….

Actually, it hasn’t even been 100 years. On the other hand, I find the filibuster to be very undemocratic and think that it should be abolished. The biggest mistake the Democrats have ever made was in not pushing the Republics to “nuke” the filibuster.

President Woodrow Wilson urged the Senate to change its rules to thwart what he called a “little group of willful men”, to which the Senate responded by introducing cloture in the form of Rule 22 on March 8, 1917

That is exactly what the Republics did to the Democrats for the first six years of Bush’s term.

I don’t want a bi-partisan bill. Because if it’s bi-partisan it will not contain a public option. My future health care is riding on what they do here and I don’t want to be forced to pay into the for-profit health insurance racket. As long as they are operating at a 40% overhead (so they can pay the million dollar salaries to their executives) any for-profit system is going to be a waste of resources and dollars.

We’re not going to see HR676 or similar single-payer legislation in the coming decades; Pres. Obama’s public-private plan is the best we can hope for. (and i get the distinct feeling that I’ll be screwed under that one, too)
