Prediction: There will be no vote on a health care bill in at least one house of Congress
I'm guessing it will be the House that has no bill reach the floor. The Senate will vote on something that looks a lot like the Bipartisan Bullshit Baucus Bill. The House will have no part of it. The Senate will get intractable and that will be that.

If you're chronically ill, you're better off dead. So go die, cuz not many elected officials much gives a shit about you.

1. "If you're chronically ill, you're better off dead."
That's the way I heard it, too. I thought it was just bum acoustics.

And this is a Democratic Administration and Congress?!

Check, please!

2. Let's make it even worse ......
While no health care refrom bill will get voted on, the bill(s) to "reduce costs" in Medicare and Medicaid will pas with "bipartisan" support.

So yeah ... just fucking die.

4. Now, now. You can't do that.
I've already asked for my check. I'm gettin' out.

(In point of fact, I've already pretty much gotten out. And I'll be getting "out-er" as soon as I can arrange it.)

3. I disagree...
The Baucus bill will be stampeded through both houses of Congress, and become the new law.

5. And if you don't die because of no health insurance,
Congress will make sure you starve to death by denying extended unemployment benefits.

6. I put this post in my journal
I will replay it at the appropriate time. You can unrec it all you wish; in fact, please do. That doesn't make you right ...... it only demonstrates ever so eloquently your unwillingness or inability to refute what I've said.
