George Rebane
The White House, Congress, MSM, and the foreign press are touting the long awaited arrival of socialized healthcare in the United States. The Pelosi bill is now on the floor of the House ready for a vote. Pelosi Health Care Bill Summary is another view of this legislation by the House Republican Conference that summarizes the bill in 30 pages. Before quietly capitulating, it’s at least worth perusing. Hat tip to a RR reader for sending me this.
George, thanks for helping spread the facts about this power grab. Another great resource is here: http://www.gop.gov/solutions/healthcare
A republican friend pointed me to this (when I claimed the repubs did not offer suggestions;poor me)- "For more information about some of the other common-sense health care reforms proposed by Republicans...:

This legislation is the opposite of reform.
