HEALTHCARE VOTE THIS WEEKEND

Princess Nancy has decided that she wants to have a vote on her PelosiCare bill this weekend. That's right. This Saturday, the House is going to vote on a piece of legislation that could potentially turn over 18% of our economy to the government ... to bureaucrats, actually. Timing is far more important than getting it right. Now if you want to know the details of the vote, be sure to follow my guy Jamie Dupree. He is sticking around Washington DC to follow this historic vote.

Did you know that Nancy Pelosi thinks that she and her fellow Democrats are ready to vote on a bill even though they don't know the price tag? The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services does not believe that it can come up with a cost estimate for the bill before Saturday's vote. Eh .. not surprising. That's not what this is really about anyway, is it? This is about the government takeover of healthcare .. making you more dependent on government .. power. The price tag for your children and grandchildren isn't important.

Speaking of your children and grandchildren. The Cato Institute has done the research and it has determined that Obamacare could as much as double premium costs for young Americans (25-year-olds). And you thought this was all about making healthcare more affordable?

What others are saying

  • public option
    Let them vote on it. If it passes, it gives any challenger the perfect campaign platform to oust the incumbent.

    "If elected, I will immediately introduce legislation to repeal the health care bill passed last November. This will be crucial since the legislation does not take effect until 2013. The next congressional session will be the only time to get this done since the next election cycle will be 2012 and the following congress will not have time to repeal this measure."

    Think any democrat will take this approach? Doubtful.

    Think any republican will take this approach? Again, doubtful.

    Democrats are socialists. Republicans are spineless.
  • It Passed
    House Democrats Who Voted Against the Health Care Bill
    Lawmakers in the House voted 220 to 215 on Saturday night to approve a sweeping overhaul of the nation’s health care system.------------------

    I will now be going in Monday to my office and printing out 225 termination letters to all my employees and selling off my business.

    Done with democrats and their socialism.

    225 jobs in a small town like mine is going to be devastating to the local economy and since no one in this town can afford to buy the business it will probably be absorbed by a National company that does the same thing. Regardless, there will be 225 jobs gone by the end of next week. I will not pay one more dime in taxes to run a small business.

    F*** you Obama, F*** you Congress.
  • Bill
    I am interested in accepting bets as to how long this will be posted on the web site for Public comment as promised by the president. I will lay 1:1 odds the bill is signed without being posted at all and 2:1 it is up less than 24 hours before signing. I will accept any bet to $100 as I expect to have several clients. Unlike a government a bettor must be able to afford to lose a gamble.
  • Keep in mind how the Statist would like to use healthcare to control the electorate.
    Most assuredly they had plans to suppress free speech – something like – hey Mr. Jones, it looks like you attended a Tea party last year (we've got the FBI surveillance footage)
    Looks like we'll have to delay your MRI another six months.

    People will hesitate to oppose a government that also controls their healthcare, think about it.
  • Healthcare Reform
    Government and the mob are the only organizations that can control anything, including healthcare, by the point of a gun! If government takes over healthcare and you don't follow the dictates of the czar you can and will either be taxed into oblivion or arrested (hence my reference to the point of a gun.)

    Anyone else that wants to control something has only one out; ownership. You can't control what you don't own! It belongs to someone else! It is their decision to make. All of the healthcare "REFORM" currently being discussed is asking [i.e. consumers] or ordering [i.e. government] someone else [i.e. insurance companies, hospitals, doctors, patients, etc] to change the way they do their business. A better solution is to take the situation in hand and institute a truly free market solution so the market has a chance to work.

    I am deeply involved in the only healthcare reform solution, that I know of, that is not asking/begging/ordering someone else to sacrifice their freedom of choice. If you want to bring down healthcare costs, own the solution!

  • liberal jokes
    TwistedSaint:

    I would like to take credit, but I cannot. Substitute "liberal" for "lawyer" in a typical lawyer joke. It works over 99.9% of the time:

    What is the definition of a shame? When a bus load of liberals goes off a cliff.
    What is the definition of a crying shame? There was an empty seat.

    What do you do if you run over a liberal?
    A1: Back over him to make sure.
    A2: Make another notch in the steering wheel.

    How do you get a liberal out of a tree? Cut the rope.

    At some point, the liberals will make it a crime to tell these jokes, so I'm getting them out there while I can.
  • UH oh
    Oh no, Kevin is offended. Call glenn beck and get him to start crying
  • Let it pass
    With no republican votes hopefully, then get rid of the ones that did vote for it. This pos is going to take so long to get actually up and running that we have time to reverse it.
  • While healthcare is a big issue, I must say I'm more worried about the Federal Reserve owning the mortgage market, and therefore its underlying collateral aka your home if you have a mortgage on it. You want to talk about socialism, there it is. Quasi-public ownership of nearly all private property in the country. The Fed has to go before this happens. Without it, there would be no ability for the government to afford this healthcare nonsense.
  • not about making healthcare affordable
    I wish I would've written his name down but I was at lunch at work. On Fox News Wednesday I heard a Democrat say that this legislation was not about making healthcare more affordable and that no one had said it was. Um... what?
  • LOL @ Off the Reservation
    Good jokes, I'll have to remember those. I especially like the doberman one...soo true. Well, they are all so true, but especially that one.
  • Quality Care
    The nimrods who support Obamacare seem to take it for granted that under Obamacare all physicians will be dedicated, well trained and competent. Reality will be since more people will be accessing the health care system for any and all reasons there will be plugin 3rd world casually trained doctors and health care workers who shouldn't be allowed to apply a bandaid!
  • Mark @ 11/06/09 09:47:41 AM
    "...except that if he worked on K Street and had a nice check to give to Doggett,..."

    Dammit! I forgot something. When dealing with looters it always helps to bring a little extra gold and silver to get their attention. I should have given them the title to my house and handed over my business.

    Only problem with giving greedy liberals everything is that it will never be enough. They will keep coming back again and again to take more.

    You can always find a good liberal in a cemetery.
  • the most transparent congress ever
    And you gotta love how Nancy blatantly lies about her promise "absolutely" to post the final bill online for 72 hours before a vote... ain't gonna happen now

    http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2009/11/pelosi_breaks_pledge_to_put_he.asp
  • Re Killer
    And really...what balls he has to use that name...today..after the shooting..
    on purpose i'm sure..
    What a friggin tool !!!
    Disrespectful...at best.
  • vote on her PelosiCare bill this weekend
    ... talk about panic ... !
  • Go Big Blue
    I work for a large technology form (think the color blue). Next year, co-pays will be waived for all primary care doctor visits (sick and physical visits). Why the hell do I need Pelosi and Reid dictating my healthcare?
  • Jimmy Dolan's name today
    Sgt Slaughter (Jimmy Dolan, Brian Fantana et. al), take that (Army) from your name immediately. You never were nor should you ever be a part.
  • Illegal immigrants back in
    The Hispanic coalition (20 votes) insisted on it for their support. Looks like the blue dogs just got thrown under the bus.
  • Well, I am certainly glad that I didn't throw 2-3 more years of my life away...
    ...on a Medical Physics residency, on top of the doctorate I already got in Nuclear Engineering.

    They've already killed the oil and gas industry (my previous employer), hopefully it will take them at least a few more years to kill off my current industry (Nuclear Power) before I have to go back into the unemployment line.
    Luckily Nuc-E's have a wide variety of paths of choose from. The trick now is to work as long as possible in each area before this administration destroys all the jobs.

    If you're working now, better save all that you can while you can!

    BOHICA
  • Off
    Off's last paragraph was true, except that if he worked on K Street and had a nice check to give to Doggett, the Congressman probably would start caring and would give more than 90 seconds.
  • What a bill
    Please keep in mind that this bill (and crap and tax) are meant for one thing and one thing only: To increase government control on the citizens and foster the idea of dependency on the feds.
    Okay, that's two things. And ONLY two things. So sue me.
  • Sgt Slaughter (Army) @ 11/06/09 09:21:13 AM
    Really good. So just go back and plunder from the people that are living responsibly. Just to help you think a little clearer while you are adjusting your eyes, remember to rape and pillage before you burn. You might get a little more satisfaction out of it you filthy liberal.

    What is the difference between a catfish and a liberal? One is a slimy scum-sucking scavenger, the other is just a fish.

    What is brown and black and looks good on a liberal? A Doberman.

    What is the difference between a liberal and a hooker? A hooker only screws one person at a time and stops once they are dead.
  • About Time
    The Democrats spent 10 months trying to negotiate with Republicans to get a bi-partisan health care bill. The Republicans rebuffed all efforts.

    Finally, the Republicans release their own bill -- except that the CBO concludes it would only cover 3 million of the uninsured. In other words, it would be a complete waste of time (which was the whole point).

    Enough dickering. Let's put it to a vote.
  • Democrat plot?
    Do you suppose that the 12 people arrested in Pelosi's office were hired by a Democrat to take the focus off of the scores of protesters in and around the building yesterday?

    The headlines are now "12 arrested in Pelosi's office" instead of "scores of citizens protest the health care bill."

    Hey, ya gotta take one for the team sometimes.
  • Any democrap
    that votes for this America destroying bill with out reading it first is a traitor. They need to be treated like we treated traitor's during WWII.
  • My two cents...
    Dear Ms. Pelosi, You're all a bunch of farging iceholes!
  • Glasses?
    Do my eyes deceive me, or are crybaby conservatives finally caring about young people?
  • The Compassionate Liberal Lloyd Doggett
    I went to Doggett's office yesterday. I set my stop watch to see how long I would get to speak. Barely 90 seconds later the lady in the office was leading me out the door. I was very polite. I went to speak about what government health care did to me, to my family, and to my tribe.

    Just as the lady was shutting the door I turned to let her know, sternly, that the US Government trained me through hard lessons to never trust it. This HR 3962 was another bag of broken US Government promises. Doggett's choice would have consequences.

    To sum it up, liberals do not care about anyone except themselves. Liberals care about how much money they can steal from the hard working people in this country.
  • It may die in the Senate Randy
    But I don't trust the Senate NOT to pass climate bill. Either one of these will be very bad for our country.
  • SanFranNan's Legislation
    They're voting on this, on a Saturday, during college football. Do they know how to slip one past the sheep or what?
    Anyways...Let 'em pass it. It'll die in the Senate (that's IF they ever figure out how to merge their bills) and everyone knows it. A real bill for Odumma to sign is a long way off. I just hope all those who actually violate their oaths by voting against the will of their constituents have some sort of day-job they can fall back on after next November. Or...I don't really care, actually. They can starve to death living in abandoned refrigerators for the way they've behaved.
  • Thanks a lot
    look in the mirror, you screwed up
  • Don't worry
    Angry liberals will see to it that anyone who isn't a democrat will get crummy healthcare. Your tests will be lost. Your results will be some one elses. you records will accidentally be revealed to the press like government officials went after Joe the Plumber for his politically charged question. Freedom will be finished if this healthcare bill goes through and bureaucrats control your health based on your political affiliations.
