When you are not allowed to participate in the process it looks like everything you do is being obstructionist. A senate bill that only a handfull of democratic senators had even seen outside of Reid's office is a travesty. What about the transparency we were promised. <br /><br />By the way why did you google the dems plan? My guess is that if you asked the bulk of the dem senators they wouldn't have been able to give you any more details than you got from our GA contingent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34867261.post-41121734148772387962009-12-18T15:06:16.189-05:002009-12-18T15:06:16.189-05:00I just Googled it J.

Insurance companies allowed to sell in all states. Taxes on "Cadillac" plans. The same silliness as the GOP on tort reform. Getting rid of pre-condition denial. The list goes on.<br /><br />I'm not saying I like all of what I see; but, I see little to like or dislike on the GOP side.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411527807049220749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34867261.post-24472145862875408232009-12-18T14:57:21.734-05:002009-12-18T14:57:21.734-05:00Dave - what was the response to your request for t...Dave - what was the response to your request for the "nuts and bolts" of the democrats house or senate bill?jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34867261.post-30750376371709950752009-12-18T14:48:51.544-05:002009-12-18T14:48:51.544-05:00Lifehiker -- I love your proposal, primarily becau...Lifehiker -- I love your proposal, primarily because according to your criteria, I would be exempt.

Anyone with a masters degree or better and five or ten years of management or professional experience is qualified to be in the pool. Congress would be 100% more effective!Lifehikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00087215544010279426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34867261.post-53867322714724101852009-12-17T16:13:33.292-05:002009-12-17T16:13:33.292-05:00(Hmm, what's this?
