I am SO dissappointed with the president and how quickly he gave into the GOP. The Dems have a majority in both houses - they should be able to pass anything they want. But they just can't work together. The Republicans seem to operate on a "we're all greedy together" basis whereas the Dems seem to be more "I am greedy for myself". And in the end, neither party has anything but the interests of their financial backers. Absolutely disgusting. This piece of legislation that the Dems will push thru' - yes, it will pass - is crap. There are no real teeth in it to hold health insurance companies accountable for anything. Oh sure, there's the every-popular "can't be denied for a pre-existing condition" bit, but the penalty is a whopping $100 per day. If your insurance company denies you for a year, that's a $36,500 fine. Big deal. The procedure you were denied probably would have cost 3 times that and you'll be dead long before the 3rd year. Win-win for the insurance company! But it will be such a big win for the country! Everyone on both sides of the aisle will be able to say We Did IT! We Fixed Health Care! Bull. ~Dave
