Senate bet that Americans have no time to look, but CBO Score and citizen distress may vote for a higher ground
There is not enough time to respond to this draconian bill and see its impact it seems, but protesters are coming out. Civil disobedience may be in the air. Americans on both sides may not want to tolerate a race to the bottom for our famous health care system and its supporting insurance framework. It may force both sides to move towards their worse fear "single payer" systems if the Senate does not prevail.
The analysis so far is this is a disruptive bill and its secretive and "better care" label seems to be disliked 4 to 1.
Obamacare seems to be well thought out on basic care and enormous tax cuts to medicare, old, pregnant, or in an emergency watch out.
Whether entitlements or rights, the poor, the vulnerable, the disabled, the addicted, those in nursing homes, critically ill, this is not the bill for you.
With regional privatized hospitals and cross state processing of medical blood work, it is not odd to think that people who are poor will make poor choices that could kill them or get given aspirin instead of cancer treatment. The justice denied to certain sufferers is unchristian and the lack of healthcare as a right in a democracy is stunning.
See for yourself and weigh in on by participating in comments, letters and address to this coverage take back and deal with the potential consequences. Set up to break promises because of your mistakes or terming out services, it's dependent on whether GOP can keep their team together.
While taxpayers pay for livelong health insurance coverage for the Congress members, this is bringing out people in wheelchairs to protest. Will people go along with endorsing pain to eliminate those suffering more or support a separate and divisive America or will our unity stand up in asking for a better kind of healthcare, not this "mean" bait and switch? Here's a quick review of what others have organized for discussion and review already.
