The Verdict on New HR 3200: Not Perfect, But a Great Start, and A Miracle http://bit.ly/MhKhK

Ok, I’m going to say it; the new version of HR 3200 rocks. Is it perfect? Of course it isn’t. But then, few would say that Medicare isn’t a great program (and if you think right wingers think it sucks, threaten to take it away from them), and that’s had...

Not a great start at all!! Who are you trying to kid.....Read pg 22 of the bill!!! The insurance rates can still go up to but not exceed 125% until 2012!!! This is not health reform....it's a health industry bail out!!

It doesn't say that, at least on page 22. But even if it did, it's not an industry "bail out" at all. They're going to be forced to take on people they have denied coverage in the past, they will have to pay all claims, including those they haven't covered in the past, and the inflation rate in the health care industry has averaged more than 12% ... Read Moreper year for the last decade. They're not going to make more money being limited to a 25% increase over current rates.

It's not perfect, but it most definitely is NOT a health industry "bailout." If it was, the insurance companies wouldn't be fighting it so hard. Their way of doing business is over.

the corporate right wing values economic and business freedom above all else. science is the chief tool used to demonstrate the harm from certain activities and argue for restrictions. thus science (in the hands of the people and the government) is the enemy.

Wait a minute, perhaps they do like "capitalism". "Capital" is just a fancy word for money or its surrogates -- they do like money. What they don't like is "market competition", or free markets in general. They don't to be subject to the market; they want the market to be subject to them.

How about Texas. One of the most populous states in the Union, and one that used to be one of the richest while it was run by Democrats. But a quarter of Texans have no health insurance, while their Congresspeople, by and large are fighting against anything that might solve that problem.
