I guess one thing I didn't think about is the Dems could bypass the filibuster with a watered down healthcare bill through reconcilliation so I guess this isn't totally over, just prolonged.

That could very well play out worse for the Dems than a filibuster could for the Republicans, I think it's becoming quite clear that the momentum is swinging more towards opposition of the current bill. Voters are realizing that along with healthcare there is a lot more garbage being rammed through with this to ensure more and more gov't control of the economy, and I think that the Dems pushing this through will only send an even clearer picture to voters that they aren't listening and that will certainly show in November.

Even though I have big issues with the current healthcare bill, its sad that probably nothing will get done in terms of healthcare. It seems like neither side is willing to compromise on anything substantial. Maybe our congressmen and women should go back to elementary school to learn what compromise means.

To me that is fine. I am not a fan of socialized healthcare. I don't think we should have it anyway.

This is usually how people feel till they or a close loved one is rejected due to a "pre-existing condition."

I sell insurance for a living, so I know the name of the game when it comes to that. I have gone through education and training in regards to health insurance, as well as life, auto, home, long term care, the list goes on. Have you?

I also have lost loved ones to pre-existing conditions, and guess what, they had no problem getting the care they needed to help prolong their lives.

Furthermore, even if that was the case. I still would not change my feelings. I do not believe that the government owes me anything, and that includes healthcare. The more things that government "does for us" the more our rights get taken away.
