The current state of the legislature.

  1. I want to comment on the Republicans debate on the "job killing health bill." There is really no debate, only a show for political gain. The health care bill is not going to be repealed and the Republicans know this. If they pass it in the House, it will be defeated in the Senate or vetoed by the President. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that it will save $110 billion over ten years. Now the CBO is not on target, however in the past when they supported the other parties view it was on target. Mr. Boehner and Mr. Ryan would use CBO results if the numbers were supportive of their view. Here we go again, politics are placed higher then results for America. On a side note, Danny mentioned that I admitted that health care premiums have increased since the new health care was put in place. Actually we have ours through Florida Hospital, where Pat works and ours did not go up. In some cases companies have absorbed or not increased costs. Again if health care companies are making huge profits why was there a necessity to increase premiums. Maybe they want to see health care reform fail?
