Default Math And Healthcare Reform Vote

Those house members who voted for heathcare reform raked in a average of $437,000 from lobbyists whose interest they voted for. Those house members who voted against healthcare reform did a little better: They were paid an average of $502,000 for their vote.

Folks, it does not make a fidler's damn what the folks at home want. The lobbyists in DC have bought and paid for the political puke who represents your district in DC.

Shocked that the votes against didn't get paid more. The lobbyists against reform have a ton to lose.

Those for the bill have every bit as much to gain or loose than those against it. It is all for money and both parties SUCK big time. The crooks know no color or flavor. One side has the Insurance companies and the other side has the big unions. Both are as crooked as a mountain road.

That putrid pos named Pat Roberts from Kansas begged for a three day delay to give his lobbyists time to study the health care plan.

There was an intresting article a few weeks ago in the London Times. Apparently, their National Health Service has spent over 2.5 million dollars paying for hundreds of its staff to have private health treatment so they can leap frog their own waiting lists. More than 3,000 staff, including doctors and nurses, have gone private at the TAXPAYERS expense, because the waiting lists for various treatments are too long. Go figure!

You might not like why he asked for a delay, but IMO, on this 2000 page bill, more time is prudent.

This pretty much sums it up from an e-mailer to the Richmond Times Dispatch.

“Let me get this straight, We’re going to pass a health care plan written by a committee whose head says he doesn’t understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn’t read it but whose members are exempt themselves from it, signed by a President who also hasn’t read it (who smokes by the way), with funding administered by a Treasury Chief who didn’t pay his taxes, overseen by a Surgeon General who is obese, and financed by a country that’s nearly broke. What possibly could go wrong”?
