Health Care Reform
BETTER READ THIS !!!!!!
**************
The Health Care Reform Bill that narrowly passed the House of Representatives is now being considered by the Senate. The following are quoted excerpts from the House version that was sent to the Senate. Read them and it will be crystal clear why President Obama is insisting that the
Senate pass the bill before they leave on a Congressional vacation.
Although he admitted at a White House press conference yesterday on July 22, that he had not "read the bill", it is obvious his advisors are afraid that if the Senators go home before voting on it and the people find out what is really in it, that it will not pass.
These are direct excerpts from the House version ....

God must like to hear us debate about him. Or her. Or them.
There's no other logical explanation.

About healthcare:
It looks like our healthcare is headed to an assembly line kind of thing.
They lay everyone on a conveyer belt and specialists check us out.
Maybe this kind of care will save the government money.
I don’t understand how the government can afford a half million hospital bill.
Also medical bills are a tax right off if you exceed your limit? If you are flat on your back, you have no income.
Don’t know but expect many surprises.
