"KennedyCare"

If what the politicians want to do why don't they guarantee that if/when the bill passes that every single one of them will be mandated to use the exact same program that they believe will work for us?

I for one don't believe for a single moment that any one of them would do that because it would mean that they would lose coverage that they currently enjoy, but they have no problem with the rest of us have this forced on us.

Knowing they are having trouble getting any agreement on Health care reform, now they want to invoke the memory of Ted Kennedy and see if that can get them what the want. If you have not read about the Democrat's latest ploy here are a few links to some news stories.

Why try to tie someone who had led a very privileged life and could afford to pay for any treatment that they desired to a bill that will cause millions of people to lose their current health care coverage?

I don't see any good coming out of this bill, I believe that companies, for purely economic reason , it will be cheaper for the companies to pay the smaller amount being proposed by the government versus the amount they are paying now for coverage for their employees.

If you ran a company and had a choice between paying say $750 to the government per employee or $1500 to the insurance company which one would you pick?

If you picked the $1500 let me know.....I have a bridge that I would like to sell you.
