If and when they pass this - they will need to get out and front and SELL it to the people-

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

I'm just talking common sense here.

They better be putting together some very effective ads and creating a web site where people can go to get their questions answered see exactly what subsidies they would be getting, etc. before the Tea Bag insanity takes over.

We know Glenn Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh and others will be completely making up more crap like the death panels and talking about the "government take-over of healthcare" and whipping their followers into a maniacal frenzy.

1. Yes, we need to know what it really says...

As of now, I'm skeptical that this gang from the senate will pass an 'honest' bill that really favors the population. But I'll be looking for some varying opinions from people who might better understand this. I'm leaning towards Howard Dean's view, but will keep an open mind on if there might be some kind of regulation, or control on the insurance costs and the medical charges on services.

2. It is a lttle late to be selling. For one whole year they have permitted

the GOP to denigrate it. Now polls are showing more
Americans oppose HCIR than are for it.

3. They can't sell it

The insurance industry already bought it, and they ain't giving it back.
