The vote is in!  The Baucus bill will get to the Senate floor for more debate….one Repub came along for the ride…..

I thought the intent of any health bill was to get the uninsured health care, to hold down consumers cost and to make the industry more responsive to the consumers needs….apparently I was mistaken because I see very little of that in the bills….

46 million Americans are uninsured!  Remember that war chant from the Left?  Alright, we can argue the actual number, but let us say that tens of millions of Americans are uninsured.  But with that said, how are we doing on correcting that situation?  We STINK!

If you have read the bills from the Congress then we will noticed that not one of them addresses ALL the uninsured.  Whatever comes out of the conferences and meeting and negotiation…nothing will cover ALL uninsured Americans.  That is right!  No matter what is done or what is agreed upon there will still be million, if not tens of million Americans that will still suffer from being uninsured.

Also all the bills now will just help keep high insurance costs and drug pay outs…..in other words, these so-called plans will be a godsend to them as far as their profits go.  Why?  We will be adding many more to the rolls of the insured and without thumb screws the health industry will continue the practices that are making them the most profitable industry.

The newest piece of….thinking……crap is the “opt out” proposal.  It is an attempt to find a comprise that will sound like a public option while protecting insurance companies and increasing their profit base……it is a worthless compromise to gain that elusive super majority of 60 votes…..it does little for those uninsured people that all say they want to help…….so far very few have actually done anything to help ALL Americans.

Unfortunately, universal health care was dead before it was born…..that would have solved almost all problems….but it was NEVER given a birth date.  The president will be happy, at this point, to have any bill that he can sign….the public option is a good beginning, but too many Americans will die without a universal coverage.

It will be fascinating to see just what abortion the Congress will give to the president and also to see how he reacts and then signs.
