Good. Except for the malicious and idiotic abortion-banning amendment.

Let's hope it actually works.

It's not lupus.

We have a winner, even though there's no such thing as Lupus

It's never Lupus, so why worry?

So... do I get healthcare now?

 
ZipSplat 2009-11-07 11:38:29 PM  
But what about that poor baby who is going to have to pay for it all? Is that what we do now? Pass expensive bills and just send the invoice to a random baby? Because that's what I heard today.

Did they pass single-payer heath care? No? Then this isn't reform, it's merely a bailout/handout to the health insurance industry.

 
randomjsa 2009-11-07 11:39:40 PM  
Ahh, moving towards that glorious future in which you surrender all power and all individual rights to the government. I do so hope you're pleased with yourselves.

 
JohnnyC 2009-11-07 11:39:50 PM  
Beware... epic butthurt, stage right.

Haha... :D

This might take a little getting used to, but I think this is going to be a good thing in the long run. :)

Drama queen.

 
what_now [TotalFark] 2009-11-07 11:40:08 PM  
Really? This one? This one is not good.

Sorry, subby, but there are better headlines.

Let me just get this out here: This may be the best we could do, but I'd rather it was a single payer system that allowed us to render insurance company CEOs into fat.


Also, I don't care about the GOP, and I'm sure they're going to be screaming at the top of their lungs about socialist fascism, but it gets to the point where negotiating with them is like trying to reason with a puppy who wants to poop on your rug. Eventually, you need to whap him on the nose.

The Senate has its own version. Outside of giving Pelosi an opportunity to do some grandstanding, this bill is not going to do much.

Debout, les damnés de la terre
Debout, les forçats de la faim
La raison tonne en son cratère
C'est l'éruption de la fin
Du passé faisons table rase
Foule esclave, debout, debout
Le monde va changer de base
Nous ne sommes rien, soyons tout

Groupons-nous, et demain
L'Internationale
Sera le genre humain :|

This is far better:

Rassekali ternii i mlechnye puti
Ne znaet schast'ya tol'ko tot

No reason it shouldn't be covered. It's never Lupus.

Yes, we are. Go to your nearest detention center, citizen.

Whatever nonsense the Senate cooks up has to pass the House again. And there are some feisties on the left side of the aisle in the lower chamber.
