don't even know what is in the Bill.

that is bull. the same was said of the stimulus bill which was online. this bill will be online and there to be read. and even with a month passing, some in congress will stand up there and say they haven't had time to read it. that is on them. would take me 2 days to read 1000 pages, and I am a slow reader. that is no excuse for anything.

I'm fine with congress being included. it would be an act of faith, if nothing else. and if they don't agree? we can start petitions to cut off their healthcare, and that of every fed govt employee. we are paying for it, afterall, and if 45 million Americans don't have care, why should we be paying for even the most low level of fed employee to get healthcare? makes no sense.

Would you rather pay for the healthcare of the person who serves you your breakfast at the cafe or of the person who pushes some paper in Argentina at the state dept?

Well if the Republicans want a fair bill they should insist that Congress be included.

If the Republicans were smart enough in gaining a political advantage, they should have pounced on this issue. But will they. Do they really care about the issue? This demonstrates that they want heal care to fail lock, stock and barrel.

At least we can credit this Administration for proposing something as a first step.
