The House Votes on Health Care Tomorrow! (Updated)

  • Posted by: Andrew Price

1257553529-houseThe House is voting on its health care reform bill tomorrow. Exciting! There’s a summary of the bill and rules for the vote here. Will Americans be able to afford insurance? Will our country go bankrupt? Are we on a slippery slope to socialism? If you want to get in a last-minute call to your representatives to let them know what you think, you can do that here. Once the House votes, it’s the Sentate’s turn.

UPDATE: The bill passed.

    According to the great dick Cheney, deficits don’t matter. As for capitalist-run healthcare, doesn’t the mess we’re in - and how we got into it, speak for itself?Let’s get the lobbyist dollars out of healthcare decisions – that’s what capitalismis all about in America. If there is one place in the universe where capitalismwill never be ALLOWED to work as it should, it’s in the greediest nation on the planet. The kind of system we employ should be contingent upon the kind ofpeople we have running it. If a little socialism doesn’t work in this land, it’s for the same reason capitalism doesn’t work as it should – greedy, corrupt, shady mangement!
