    Democrats' Plan to Help 'Uninsurables' Requires 6-Month Wait - FOXNews.com
    Quote from article:
    "You're afraid your cancer is back, and a health insurance company just turned you down.

    Under the health care bills in Congress, you could apply for coverage through a new high-risk pool that President Barack Obama promises would immediately start serving patients with pre-existing medical problems.

    Wait a second. Read the fine print. You may have to be uninsured for six months to qualify."

    I think this is terrific, no way they deserve ANYTHING better than us.
    I can't believe people still defend politicians the way some do in this country.
    Politicians equal scum of the earth!

    Yes, Both!
    I really do hate politics.
    I wish we had some different way to solve our issues.
    I'm not saying there aren't some politicians that aren't scum but in general I just hate politics, I tend to hate left more than right of course.
    Sadly, It is a necessary evil!

    Not all of them start out as scum. But the process definitely corrupts. At the end of the day, too much compromise steals the soul.

    I totally agree.
    I think of Harry Truman here, saw the move from HBO for example.

    Good news!

    The House passed their bill by a narrow margin...220-215.

    Dems: 219 - 39
    Reps: 1 - 176

    This hopefully will be enough to convince voters to start removing these idiots from office. This is by far the worst Congress in America's history and has driven this country down the tubes the last three years.

    The lone Republican was Joseph Cao from Louisiana. I don't know if he was trying to make the locals happy but they're still not going to re-elect him even if he becomes a Democrat. He's not the right color for many New Orleans voters who vote race ahead of anything else.

    The House bill is not good news. It includes a public option. Hopefully it will be removed during the process of reconciling the senate and house versions.

    You may have a point but I really think OBL and the terrorist attacks were the beginning of the end since you mentioned that time period.
    I don't know, if people don't vote these people out there is no doubt in my mind that this country is going hard left socialism.
    The government will have unprecedented control over our lives and freedoms like never before.
    Also we will have to depend on these scumbags for the very lives of our families.
    I don't think any of this is good, our good days are behind us.
