How to get 100% agreement on a health insurance reform bill
This post by a contributor to Daily Kos named Stroszek is great: we give up, you win, Republican Brooks Brothers rioters, and we will eliminate all your concerns from the health bills. We will put in language that guarantees there will be no death panels telling granny it's time to die, that nobody will deny medical treatment for Sarah Palin's baby, that all hospitals will not be nationalized, or that private insurance will be outlawed. Stroszek has a considerable list of the nutcase lies that the right-wing is using to scare ordinary Americans. I could in an hour or two write the amendment to whatever bill makes it out of Congress for signature. Every one of them will be preceded by the words, “Notwithstanding any part of the foregoing sections that could be construed to the contrary, blah, blah, blah . . . .”
Once we have that language in place, we surely can all agree and pass the damned thing by a 535-0 margin in the House, and a 100-0 margin in the Senate.
