Democrats are making behind closed door deals and you're talking about a process? Really? Bribery? The problem with the Democrats is they IGNORED all the concerns, they didn't pay attention to ANY of the consequences, and they bribed their way through the voting process.

Take your POLS101 class elsewhere, I don't care what you think you know, you're talking like you don't know anything. You asked me to counter a statement that said "we're all caterpillar employees." The IMMEDIATE affects of this bill are increased taxes and costs to companies. The benefits won't be seen for at least two years. We're already in a recession. Where is the logic here? Explain to me how this is helping our country one tiny bit.
What legislation doesn't have closed door deals? That is a Washington problem not a healthcare problem.

My number one question that I have for people that want to quote increased taxes and cost of the bill, how do you think uninsured individuals have their medical bills paid under the current system? They obviously don't pay for it, the taxpayers do and yet the individuals incur a mountain of medical bills that they will never pay off. So whether we admit it or not under the current system taxpayers still pay medical bills for citizens and Illegal Immigrants.

I said what I did about being Catepillar employees because Catepillar employs maybe 100,000 individuals, shareholders are about 40,000 and stakeholders I don't know, we'll be generous and say 400,000-500,000.. There are over 30 million uninsured individuals, furthermore the job of elected officials is to do the good of the people, not the good of the Corporation, but that comment is based more on ideology. If you are a corporatist of course you would disagree.
