3. Tax credit to help pay for insurance
4. Allow consumers to use HSA funds to pay for insurance premiums
Why didn't they do this when THEY had the majority and the Presidency?? Answer- because they REALLY don't want to change a thing!

I can't believe that anyone, who is being honest with him or herself, could have such an inhuman approach toward ones fellow human beings.
I guess the dems are looking at those poll numbers of obama's and getting cold feet. Remember, Pelosi and Rahm recruited conservative democrats in conservative districts to run against incumbent Republicans in 2006 & 2008.
Health care overhaul bill suffers another setback - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090709/ap_on_go_co/us_health_care_overhaul - broken link)
Blue Dogs coming back to bite the Hag in the A**.
This is starting to look like the failed Clinton plan of the 1990's. Going, going and soon to be gone.
Obama and Pelosi are rushing them. They have a start of a plan but need to hammer out details.
They need to find a decent way to pay for it that doesn't crater the middle class that have insurance.
Something this big takes time. And maybe they need to do it piecemeal with a few bills and not try to redo the entire system in one fell swoop.

Some people will undoubtedly complain about anything Democrats do. My guess is that they want to see Democrats fail, even if it means that nothing gets done to reduce health care costs. They want to punish all Americans if they don't get things their way.

But the real leaders of the party don't care about any reforms. They are only interested in something that will turn out to be socialized medicine run by a bureaucracy appointed by them.

And how does one pay for such a huge spending bill when the economy is on the brink of crashing? Its summer, why don't we tax all the lemonade stands on every block!
