The interesting part is that the House currently is composed of the
legislative assembly (the committees) which actually produces proposed
legislation, and the representative assembly who are to understand what
is in the proposed legislation so that they may communicate with their
constituency and vote on the proposed legislation. *I think you are
claiming that the representatives of the people should not have any
voice in what the APPOINTED and ANOINTED few might decide. *You MUST be
a latter day Republican.

I think we see who's ignorant. We could vote on it but the few here
that are "expertly knowledgeable only about" your infinite stupidity
need read your posts to determine that.

the actual proposed legislation. -*It isn't ignorance.

OK so "End-of-Life" Counseling is NOT in the Obama-Care© Bills.

Actually, there IS a proposal in HR 3200 to COVER such counseling if the

There is no single bill to be read right now. As I understand it, there
are are at least 3 committees, each with a different version. They have
staff who are familiar with every word and nothing is hidden. They do
have all day to read things.

Dave 'staff' ain't your Elected Representative.

Roy, "staff" is the part the part of the machine that actually does the
work. The Representative runs for office and conceives "big picture"
policy, makes the speeches, collects the checks, etc., but the staff
does the actual work.

Why do you hate workers?

It never was, Bozo. There was a provision to pay a doctor for 1
consultation every 5 years. (A Republican proposed part of the bill, by
the way.)

No. Reduction in Medicare waste. Administrative streamlining, fraud
prevention, etc.

There are not 2 sides to a fact. There is no way a lie equals "balance"

Fox is amazing, isn't it? Those guys are incapable of telling even
the slightest bit of truth if it will help anyone who makes less than
$500,000 per annum. They are desperate to turn back the clock to the
year 1890, or possibly even antebellum times when they are at their
worst.
