When Good Intentions Fail
Or when the truth becomes apparent.
Sen Max Baucus introduced his version of the Health Reform Bill. No one liked it. Not even the Socialist Democrats. They claimed that it didn't take over enough of the health care from individual citizens. Weak rhino Republicans didn't like it because it was not their bill.
It would seem, that Sen Baucus' intention to create a happy medium of a bill has now failed. He has succumbed to pressure from the Obama Democrats. Or, did the real version of the bill get out.
Yeah, who sold out? Or, who came out of their shell?

The chairman of the Senate Finance Committee was revising his sweeping health care bill Monday to address serious concerns from fellow Democrats and a key Republican about insurance costs, part of his ongoing struggle to deliver on President Barack Obama's top domestic priority.
Yeah, who sold out? Or, who came out of their shell?
The changes — which include possibly halving a penalty for people who don't comply with a new requirement to purchase insurance...
"We've come a long, long way to satisfying the affordability concerns," Baucus said Monday evening after meeting with committee Democrats.
And.... how is this different than what was originally offered? Seems the Socialists are back on track now. Meanwhile Boehner wants us to press the reset button and start over. Hey, Boehner, how about you start with torn reform as a bill and then see how that goes.
Baucus' 10-year, $856 billion package would extend coverage to about 29 million Americans who lack it now and institute insurance market reforms, such as prohibiting higher premiums for women or the denial of coverage to sick people. It would make almost everyone buy insurance or pay a fee, give subsidies to the poor to help them buy coverage ...
... all the while driving up costs and taxes and fees for everyone with a job. Why have a job? Why have insurance when the government can provide both? And food stamps. And phones. And cash. And housing.
When are people going to say enough with this confiscation of privately earned wealth? When is personal responsibility going to matter?
When are people going to realize, that there is only one bill? There has only ever been one bill.
It's called ObamaCare.
