Here Moron. FRIST'S VIEW Bill Frist, Tennessee Republican and former Senate majority leader, says he opposes the various health care bills in Congress, despite reports to the contrary, Paul Bedard reports in the Washington Whispers column at www.usnews.com. "Voters will be angry and mount a backlash against Democrats in upcoming elections unless the five different health care reform bills working through Congress are redrawn to prevent higher taxes and insurance premiums, according to former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. "The former lawmaker, a heart surgeon who teamed with Democrats to push some previous health care reforms, told Whispers that he would not vote for any of the five bills without major changes. Time [on Monday] reported that Frist would support the legislation, but he told Whispers that he was 'disappointed' with that story because it didn't reflect his view."

Here stupid...the reps are beginning to panic that their obstructionism will doom them...of course without democrats they'd be no bill... I don't think that's change shortie can live with...... Think about it.....it took Rs nearly 10 months to figure out that 1. Americans want universal health care, and that 2. the 2010 election script is not going to read well for the Rs after the Dems get universal health care passed. I am sure confusion will become rampant in the R camp fairly soon.
