Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Help me, lord, I'm debating the healthcare bill on a friend's FB page. Fortunately, the twits aren't my friends so I can walk away.
A twit who IS my friend (well, a friend who's being a twit) just declared "Look, sorry to be controversial so early in the morning, but the new plan has a few holes".
I congratulated her on having read all 1,200 pages overnight. She hasn't replied.
GOP rebuttal doc sued 8 times for malpractice.
Raise your hand if you're surprised. Anyone? Bueller?
During the PMQs a couple years back, David Cameron asked "Can we believe what the prime minister says?" and then calls him a phoney. [link] The whole exchange was newsorthy, so I don't think that's typical, but still.
The guy I'm debating with claims that even if the bill explicitly forbids spending fed funds on illegal alien health insurance, "we will end up paying for everything."
I asked him to explain just how that will happen and am awaiting his response breathlessly.
Wow, eight times? You gotta work hard to get sued that much.
Frankly, I think the bill should cover illegal immigrants. And abortions, but that probably just makes me a communist.
Jessica, I agree with you on both counts.

Well, I wouldn't care if it did. But at the bare minimum, I'd settle for a lot less gasping and "New York City?! Get a rope!" on both fronts.
I think its easier to expand a passed bill than to pass an expansive one.
I'm impressed they're going for as much as they are on this round, actually. It could have just been a smack down of no-you-cannot-drop-people-for-getting-sick reform proportions.
