rare Saturday vote health-care system reform

endorsement from AARP, the nation's largest association of people over 50.

Republicans expect to offer an alternative to the Democratic package

The measure would cover 3 million additional people at a cost of $60 billion through 2019, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

The Democrats' bill, by comparison, would cover far more -- 36 million additional Americans

I guess I would have to know more about what they are voting on and what the alternative's would be, this health care bill is nothing but a joke anyway...well not even a joke it is just simply put taking more of our rights and US citizen's rights away from us and letting the goverment decide what is best for us, so sad!

I know, when I heard this I was gobsmacked! Then I realized that Monday is Veterans Day, and I believe that Congress has the week off!

The house started out with a pretty good plan, it is now mostly an insurance company sell-out.

When this shooting happened today at Ft. Hood, theywere talking about the doctrinization centre they were at, to get medical and dental treatment before being inducted, the Armed forces supply health care, isn't that the government running health care? Why not for all?
