Republicans and Democrats clash on the timetable for major Healthcare Reform legislation after the release of the CBO's scoring of the bill's projected cost.

1. Is it just me?

...or are these clips from "The Hill" always kind of slanted toward the Rethugs? I seem to recall that during the election, the main reporter for the Hill did a lot of uncritical regurgitation of reich wing talking points. Even in this one, they leave the last word to the Texas rethug quipping out his little line about trains leaving stations.

Anybody else get the same sense?

Maybe I'm out to lunch on this.

2. The rethugs had the first and last word on this one.

I never watched any of the Hills videos before. Judging from this clip I would not be surprised if The Hill has a right wing bias.

3. We MUST have health care reform NOW

We MUST have health care reform this year. As a former health care giver, I am sad to see Profit Care is now more important than Patient Care. http://www.wisecountyissues.com/?p=62 In East Tennessee and southwest Virginia what the heath care system is selling is nothing at all like what really is their "acceptable standards " on public record in Greeneville, TN Federal Court, cases no. 2:04-cv-375. Apparently it's legal to lie about health care and legal to run false and misleading advertising about health care in TN & VA.

4. I don't know if the link talks about your father or your family.

In any case I am sorry. They received less than human treatment. It must have been very painful for them both physically and emotionally.

We can not give up until we have single payer national health care for everyone.
