Comments on: Will Democrats be Able to Pass Health Care Reform by Christmas?
Let’s be civil. The Flathead Beacon encourages vigorous discussion and lively debate, but we will delete comments that attack other readers, make accusations we can’t verify, stray too far off topic, criticize local businesses (call them if you have a problem), convict someone of a crime, use profanity or are simply judged to be in bad taste. We don’t always have someone moderating comments, so we ask for your help: If you see a comment that violates these ground rules, or you simply deem it offensive, please e-mail editor [at] flatheadbeacon.com. The views expressed in the comments section do not reflect those of the Beacon.

I think this health care bill will be passed before Christmas and it will really help a lot of people because it will lessen the burden we have on our shoulder especially in an increase of laid off. A company undergoing a layoff is never fun for employees. (However, management still gets ivory back scratchers – now who should be getting laid off, the people who can’t steer the ship, or the ones scrubbing the deck?) That said, a layoff of employees doesn’t guarantee that a company will return to profits afterward. Right now, the Small Business Administration offers American Recovery Capital loans, for companies that were doing well before the recession, and companies can use a furlough, if done legally. Though it isn’t easy to contemplate a layoff, it won’t guarantee debt relief, or that an already sinking ship will float again.

Whoa - you better read-up on this flaming abortion called health “care” reform. It’s really a huge tax increase for very little or no gain at all. A 2000 page nightmare.
