my friend is convinced that national healthcare opens the door for governmental prejudice against the fatties and eventually a fatty holocaust.

Senate Finance Committee Democrats rejected a proposed a requirement that immigrants prove their identity with photo identification when signing up for federal healthcare programs.

Finance Committee ranking member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said that current law and the healthcare bill under consideration are too lax and leave the door open to illegal immigrants defrauding the government using false or stolen identities to obtain benefits.

Grassley's amendment was beaten back 10-13 on a party-line vote.

I'm shocked!

only white americans have to show ID

everyone else to the front of the line!

Its funny because the democrats soft stance on this shtein makes them virtual locks to have control of the government for about 30 years.

Every election they get a higher % of the hispanic vote.

My professor was talking about it and given the trends the Republicans are going to need like 65-80% of the white vote in the next election to have a chance for the presidency. bahahah

Bowzer is gloating over the result of the nearly meaningless finace committee's vote, the result of which was forseen about two months ago.

Now THAT's surprising.

No.. I'm rooting for the most liberal democrats like Pelosi to push for universal coverage. If such a bill was passed and signed by Obama, he'd be out in 3.

Diomedes · October 01, 2009, 09:48:49 PM

if it takes Obama going only one term to get health care for all Americans, that's fine with me

A bill with a public option is the only sort that can pass. Thus one way or the other it will pass.

There are people who think it's a given' that a bill will pass. They look at the news and percieve it as they choose too, not as it actually is. They live in their own world.

It will take a lot of compromise to get a bill passed, so it's going to take a lot more time. This isn't happening this year or next, and Obama will be lucky if it happens in his term.
