Reply #37: "pass a series of fixes to the first healthcare bill " - I wanna know what's getting fixed 1st

[SandWalker1984]

The Senate version of a health care bill is a piece of crap, and I'm saying that as nicely as I can.

It's the Corporate Health Insurance Profits Protection Act. Plain and simple. Mandatory private, corporate insurance without regulation of what rates can be charged to us, the 30 million new victims. Just what Rahm promised the health "care" corporations in secret. The insurance companies are already raising rates by up to 39% in some states and we are to believe they won't take advantage once insurance becomes MANDATORY by law, with fines???

Our country cannot be competitive in the world economy when we spend 3 trillion dollars a year for our health care.

You can't "fix" the garbage the Senate passed as health care, unless they get the balls to open up Medicare as a public option for ANY American who wishes to opt in.

What they probably mean by "fix" is to throw a few little token changes into the garbage bill, shove it thru Congress, then go on the talk shows to brag about how pretty the pony is that they gave us. Ever see that commercial???
