How can WE THE PEOPLE get fair an unbiased information on this bill when they simply do not know what they are doing in the first place? We owe China over 5 billion dollars in loans already, so how can AMERICA afford health care? AMERICA is swimming in debt already and the dollar is nearly worthless. How much more burden can AMERICA with stand? As consumers WE THE PEOPLE know how much we can spend . When we are broke we can't get a lone unless we can prove we can pay it back with interest, yet our government still thinks we have money even if we have to deflate the dollar by printing more and more until it is just useless paper. The debt they are creating will be impossible to pay off in 3 generations life times. Something has to be done to stop this insanity. The government must be held accountable or all wil be lost.

cost is irrelevant.

the question is "will it be paid for?"

the answer to that question is "yes" according to the congressional budget office.

and better yet, if it WORKS (which it has some chance to) it wont just be revenue neutral to the federal government it will also be a great BOON to your own personal household budget as the price of health care and insurance doesnt spriral so out of control that you end up having to choose between insurance and rent.

tl;dr so I'll just respond to the OP question "can the rebubs stop the demos?"

To which I say the correct question is Can the Democrats stop the Democrats? And judging by history, the answer seems to be yes. As much as I would hope it not be the case for health care reform. The Dems seem to be moving more in the right direction lately in order to actually pass something, but they need to get their act together, to get this Act together.

So what this comes down to is this, PrezBO is breaking his promise not to sign a health care bill that adds to the federal deficit, as well as his promise to look for more than a 50+1 solution to health care reform.
