Health Care Reform Bill passes in the Senate without a vote left to spare:

Now we can finally start euthanizing the elderly, throwing people in jail for not having insurance, and take that final step to becoming a socialist dictatorship. It's a fine, fine moment for Amurica. :)

It has not *actually* passed yet. This was just a vote to begin debate, not end it.

Gah, I misread that. At least it's past the first hurdle, but no huge reason to celebrate. :erg:

I know! We can use this thread to fight about it some more! Let the flaming and trolling begin!

News just to hand:
Republican senators have just discovered a clause on Volume 5, page 542,651, paragraph 14, line 3 that says money has been set aside for certain aged care technologies.
It seems, in the event of lack of funds, retirement plans will be replaced by this:

I just hope the "un-insured fine" goes away.

And of course there's no public option of any sort in the Senate bill, so it can kindly go fuck itself. And I imagine there's some Senate version of the Stupak amendment to the House bill, so there won't be any abortion coverage in any of the private plans offered in the exchange, so it can fuck itself twice.

Is there any reason other than ideology you want "convenience" abortions to be covered?
