“A staff member for Baucus told her the health care law has the power of statute, and would need to be repealed for the coverage to go away.”
Actually there is another way coverage could go away. When the government goes bankrupt all the statues in the world can’t cough up enough money to fund this program. But that happening is just crazy talk - right?

The fact that Baucus along with the other Libs would pass something as far reaching as this monstrosity of a bill without reading it is just more reason to get rid of the whole bunch ASAP before they do more damage!

In most other professions, failure to read or research something they are responsible for is considered MALPRACTICE. A doctor who failed to read a test result before a surgery and something goes wrong, an attorney who fails to read a case file when defending his client, an architect who fails to research carrying load capacities for structures are all examples of malpractice. In the instance of Senator Baucus arrogantly suggesting that no one expects him to “waste his time” on reading the bill (affecting 1/6 of the US economy) is the very definition of malpractice.
He, like most Democrats, arrogantly thinks he knows better than us. He doesn’t; they don’t.
It will take 2 generations to cure what these Democrat clowns have done to this country. It is stealing on the grandest scale.

Politics aside, it’s good to see these victims get the health resources and support they need. At the same time, I’d love to see equal attention be devoted to a ban on asbestos - http://www.mesorc.com/banasbestosnow/?utm_campaign=Social - and be rid of this nasty material (and health crises like this) once and for all.

Wow, I never realized that the lawmakers have to hire translators so they can understand the text of the laws they want to pass. I did know that the laws were written in another language, I just thought the lawmakers were fluent in that language.
