I do not see anything in the bill to offer actual health care reform.

after all, I wish i could buy my health insurance in another state and pay less. I also would like to see malpractice insurance go down and have malpractice suits limited to actual malpractice cases.
I would like to see CFC inhalers brought back for asthmatics. This actually would have LOWERED my healthcare costs but the liberals and climate change fanatics passed laws banning them. These are the same people supporting Obamacare claiming it is going to lower healthcare costs.

I would also like to see the things passed that you mentioned.

If it is so blatantly clear, then one would think that somebody could name at ONE specific example. ONE?!?

Government involvement in private industry, what the hell is that suppose to mean, regulation? Yeah, that's an heretofore unprecedented act of this or any other government

Kind of like talking to a wall, isn't it, hawkeye?

You pointed out that the entire proposal is socialist, and little ovacatto acts like you never said it.

Do you still wonder why no one pays much attention to him?

Well you know what they say, "as dumb as a brick" and so far this looks like a pretty thick brick wall to me.

I would think that someone who calls themselves "Little Acorn" would be a bit circumspect before calling someone else little.

"Bricks are as Bricks do."

But I digress.

Yes, you have pointed out that the entire proposal is socialist so I thought that it would tax you too much to point 1 single aspect of the bill that was indicative of socialism. Now when an entire 2,000 bill is based upon socialism I would think that even someone of Sarah Palin's questionable IQ could come up with one example. Perhaps I give my conservatives too much credit.

Oh, I know why no one has answered the question. It's easy to throw around scary words but it is quite another to understand what they mean. Any fool can do the former...

It is all embedded in the legalese. You have to be wise enough to make deductions and think critically about the contents of this bill.
+1

but Unfortunately the weak minded of the herd tend to think it should say it loud and clear.

He should have said: We are five days away from fundamentally improving the United States.
Then he would be caught in another lie. he's batting a .1000 right now.
