What do you guys think?
I haven't looked too deep into the issue. But from what I've gathered, America's just been in a mess and the Republican idea is to not want to move at all. They're taking every drastic measure to stop the bill. Democrats however, have been doing a bad job at trying to be patient and getting nothing done. At the extremes, I've seen Republicans being irrational assholes and Democrats being soft-core pussies. It's not right to ultimately stereotype the two parties as such though. I'm sure many are smart and respectable people, however we've only seen the worst in a dramatic event of course. I'm sure Republicans have very good reasons to not want to kill the bill. Perhaps, they were immediately aware that their causes alone would not persuade the American public, so the ran a smear campaign to convince America that universal health care is a "Socialist" step. Maybe it is. To some degree, it may be, but I doubt that will destroy America. Our nation has taken many socialist steps: child labor laws, health inspection on foods, consumables, and other related products, environmental protection, and minimum wage establishment. I'm not saying every move has been smart and flawless. Far from it. However, that shouldn't mandate that we halt ever taking chances and attempting progression. That's the fundamental idea to life itself: moving forward and adjusting to our ever-changing environments. Anyway, that's my opinion in a ramble. |

wait.
Where in your post does it say the health care bill passed a congressional hurdle?  ____________________ we're currently experiencing some technical difficulties |

It just happened. CNN coverage. Congress passed the health care bill. Now it's just gotta get through Senate. |

Posted by blackhole89Apparently, yes, yes it was. Those iirc it's more "you must have some form of health insurance", not just from private companies, but it will force a lot of people into getting private insurance probably yeah. ____________________ |
