Hear! Hear!
And to think those idiots yelling at him had no clue he was a nuclear physicist. He didn’t have to be there. Medicare had paid for his surgery, but he was there to help his fellow citizens who lack the benefits of decent health care coverage even when they are insured and get their treatments denied.
Hearing so much about the bill, I don’t know what to think. A guy at work, whom I don’t think of as a wingnut, told me he had read the bill and it contains a national firearm registry and a national ID card. WTF? I don’t oppose either one, but what are they doing in a health care bill? This sort of grab bag bothers me more than the Senate pork. In the same vein, my daughter is rooting for passage because it contains language extending Pell grants. Again, a good thing, but what is it doing in the bill?
I think there would have been much less citizen opposition if there had been a simple ten page bill with ONLY HCR in it.
there is nothing to do with ID cards or firearms in the bill. There is an student loan section of the bill.
