  I agree. why not? I suspect most people pushing this line really don't understand the reforms.

  Actually Tony I believe the opposite is true, and that those who truly understand this bill would be the last who would wish to have their own health care depend upon it, but I congratulate your willingness to have Congress live under what they create for others.

  One of the things that I find striking is that the stealth inclusion of FOCA in some of the House drafts has received so little attention.
  I received an urgent Knights of Columbus e-mail alert about it and confirmed with my Congressman's office that the inclusion is true but none of the media outlets, including Fox, are carrying anything about it. Even the Catholic websites and blogs have been largely silent.
  I suspect that, if FOCA had made it out of a committe on its own, we would have been up in arms… you know, as Catholics and all. Shoving into the text of an healthcare draft though warrants not even a remark.

  Bill's only 1,000 pages long. What's not to understand?

  Is it even a bill yet?
  As best I can tell, there are at least 5 much smaller proposals that have yet to be incorporated into a single bill. I don't know what the Speaker is expecting to vote on by Friday, but it doesn't sound like they have gotten beyond the committee markup stage.

  Nice idea, but the amendment has no chance of passage. Sort of like how congress will write workplace rules and then exempt themselves. Best analogy to this I can think of is food. Consider congress a pushy chef who is insisting you pay for and eat his new concoction but when you ask him how it tasted when he tried it the chef says "Are you nuts? I wouldn't eat this crap and definitely won't pay for it."

  Why stop at Congress – shouldn't the President who signs it also be subjected to it? I would love to see in one of these O press conferences someone challenge the President to give his oath that if O'care passes, and he signs it, he will take the public option.

  Sort of a "poison pill" provision, eh?
