President Obama and liberals in Congress seem intent on passing comprehensive health care reform, even though polls suggest it is unpopular with the American people. And despite the potential political risks to moderate Democrats, the President and left-wing leadership in Congress are determined to pass the measure using a rare parliamentary procedure. The Senate plans to attach Obamacare to a House-passed non-healthcare bill. Ironically, nobody knows what that legislation looks like, because it has not yet been written. Yet many members plan to rubber-stamp Obamacare without reading or understanding the bill. The Senate Finance Committee worked furiously last week to mark up a conceptual framework of health care reform. The committee actually rejected an amendment by Sen. Jim Bunning (R.-Ky.) to mandate that the bill text and a final cost analysis by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) be publicly available at least 72 hours before the Finance Committee votes on final passage. www.humanevents.com

Brent Bozo? lol,
People are not happy with their health insurance who the hell is this man talking
to. Many people I know hate their insurance!!! What planet are you on
Joe Lieberman is scum, a traitor and not to be trusted, has Aipac written all over face. He doesn’t care about the US, he is a zionist with US/Israeli citizenship. His US citizenship should be revoked.
I just looked up the bush spending it was 7.7 trillion. plus the surplus that clinton left him with, And we have absolutly nothing to show for it.
Bush started it yes, but Obama had his Stimulus plan , TARP 1/2 let’s say and all together already more debt than all presidents combined since George Washington thru Bush II.
He did not create the debt he inherated it, Part of his spending is the other half of tarp that the bush adm. started
Just making the point that Obama’s debt is more than all the other Presidents combined since George Washington thru G.W. Bush. That’s not good considering Obama has been in office less than a year.
you people need to stop adding Dubyas debt on Obama
Biggest debt in history, until Obama came to office. He has compiled more debt in one year, than all presidents combined since G. Washington including G.W. Bush’s debt.
So what was the mess Take a 5.5 trillion budget surplus and turn it into the biggest debt in history, And ya he sure kept us safe, Whos watch did 9/11 happen on anyway, I don’t think it was Clinton, Unless you were in the working class When Reagan was president you have no Idea what he did to our country, He was the worst president in history,
Reagan had to build our military up after that spineless coward Carter destroyed it. I was a little young back then but I do know my history. Gas lines, malaze, 444 days for the hostages. You could even say Carter is to blame for terrorisim that goes on today. You can’t blame him for the start of it. That was in 72 Munich germany olympics. Carter did let the shaw of Iran fall. Welcom Ayatola Komani.
W had to do the same clean up the mess that, Cliton made. Thx W for keeping us safe.,
Hey you forgot Reagan and GW better give the credit for ruining the country were it all began, with Ronald Reagan, And Dubya just about finished the country off, I’m sure glad Obama will be in for 8 years to get this mess fixed, Hell he might even be in for 4 terms like FDR wouldn’t that put the biggest smile on your face you ever had, you might have to have plastic surgery to get the smile removed
nah ive known he was a crook for a while now. just look at all the sneaky crap he tried pulling getting amnesty passed for illegals a couple of years ago.
and i think there is this land problem back in nevada that he was part of, as well
i do agree that this is an 800 pound gorilla. its name is socialism
Just figuring that out huh? Did you even watch the video ?
As to California, that’s a fly vomiting on your shoulder and then licking it back up…
This communist health care plan that takes over a private industry, forces employers to drop benefits, and forces everyone else to “join their club” is an 800 lbs. gorilla in the room getting ready to rip your head off and shit down your throat.
WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!
They should be taxed on the bailout money, It was your tax money they gave the bonuses from, One way of getting our money back from the tarp GW gave them a year ago with no strings attatched
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Natures God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
Reid got some relief for nevada and three other states with high unemployment, however, the one state with more unemployment, California, is not getting this same break as nevada
This man is Crooked
sneaky sly backdoor pricks
Correct me if I am wrong but isn’t this how Hitler got bills through before World War 2.
fvck obama and his socialism
This is sick!
Nothing surprises me from this bunch of crooks. They better slow down with this kind of behavior or people will get even angrier. Nancy Pelosi will really be worried then.
85% of Americans are pleased with their own private insurance & democrats are going to force this public option as an attachment bill? I hope everyone understood that. That is just how corrupt the democrat party is and tells me they do not care or listen to the American Majority. My fellow Americans your government does not listen to you it is time to let our voices be heard again.
Wow. Who wants something that the government has to “sneak” through? Isn’t that a RED FLAG???
It’s that dang 60-vote cloture requirement the Dingy one doesn’t like. He didn’t mind it from Jan. 2003-Dec 2006 when the GOP had majorities in Congress.
