After the vote, are any of the networks going to carry live coverage of the celebrations ...........

[Stinky The Clown]

..... champagne cork poppings, and high fiving that the insurance company execs will be holding?

meanwhile, here in Mudville, they'll be serving more shit sandwiches.

[villager]

1. are the anti-choicers invited to the insurance company shindigs, as well?

Since they'll equally be celebrating all this newfangled "progressivism?"

[Stinky The Clown]

3. I think they'll be the guests of honor. After all, the unanswered teabagger parties is what got ....

.... the knuckle dragging mouth breathers once AGAIN supporting legislation that goes against their best interest.

[emulatorloo]

2. If they are so fucking happy about it, WHY ARE THEY STILL TRYING TO KILL IT

The healthcare industry is pouring tons of money into killing this bill and they will continue to do so tomorrow.

[villager]

7. Yes, it's clear none of the insurance company lobbying efforts have paid off in the least...

n/t

[emulatorloo]

11. So are FreedomWorks and Americans For Prosperity going to fold up their tents and go home now?

n/t

[Stinky The Clown]

10. *Almost* right

They're working to kill ***reform** ...... and they've been successful so far.

[emulatorloo]

12. as weak as this bill may be, they still hate it

There is plenty for them not to like, and there is plenty of stuff to build on in the future THAT SCARES THEM>

The noise is going to get amped up even louder after this is passed. Repugs are going to run campaigns on REpEALiNg it (with lots of pharma and insurance cash), etc etc etc.

[Stinky The Clown]

16. I thought Pharma pledged to Obama they'd work to pass a bill.

[emulatorloo]

17. "They Lied"

[kid a]

4. you sound as hyperbolic as michelle bachman

[Stinky The Clown]

5. :snort:

If ya want seconds, just ask.

[Avalux]

6. Ins. Cos are spending almost a million dollars a day to kill health ins. reform -

why would they be doing that if the bill was so beneficial to them?

[Stinky The Clown]

9. And that's **exactly** what they've done.

[emulatorloo]

13. Then why do they keep spending?

[Stinky The Clown]

14. High quality Final Coffin Nails are spendy.

[emulatorloo]

18. Humorous, but doesn't make sense.

[Stinky The Clown]

19. Yes it duz.

[emulatorloo]

20. LOL - what he said:

[Stinky The Clown]

21. Oh come now ..... 'fess up .......

..... you didn't **really** audibly laugh ...... did you? All by yourself there, reading a message board? Really?

Isn't your "LOL" just a tad hyperbolic?

[godai]

8. Big step forward but the Senate obstacle remains.

There's no filibuster in the House, so passage is easier with a simple majority. Getting the 60 votes in the Senate is a remaining issue. Reid hinted that this might not pass the Senate until next year! So, I'm not breaking out the champagne tonight.

[bluestateguy]

15. The insurance companies oppose this bill

You're being silly.

[earth mom]

22. I'm sure those bastards are partying like never before!
