Boehner complains the HealthCare bill will cost too much and will kill jobs. There can be no other conclusion than to assume he believes it is better to continue to allow people to die for lack of health care than to suppress the greed of the fat cats who prefer excess profits to sparing their fellow mankind suffering and death.
Not all Democrats voted for the bill passed by House, suggesting that some of them can still vote their own conscience (or protect their election funding) than march lock step like the Republican robots.
This is only a beginning and a long way still from the goal post. Oddly, today I received a request from a telemarketer who said they were not asking for money but, rather, would pay $10 for my answering a questionnaire. Not surprisingly, when I truthfully answered that I was over 64 (thus likely on Medicare) I was thanked and told that the quota had been filled for my age group. Of course, why would the greedy private companies want an opinion from people on Medicare?
To hear what the BBC reported on the passing of the bill, click here. You will be forced to wait for the short commercial to finish, while wishing this was taped so you could fast-forward through it. However, the wise marketers who usurp those few seconds of your life make the commercials short.
