Just when Obamacare seemed down for the count Chris Dodd led the Senate troops and trimmed an amazing 40% from the bill. Well, not actually trimmed. If you look closely, they’re really just shifting some of the costs to a new, undisclosed second bill. There are other really neat aspects to the bill, too. They’re going to make insurance companies cover people with pre-existing conditions without the option to charge them more. And, they’re going to make them cover anyone that applies – they can’t say no. The laws of economics be damned! So what if they companies go broke! But wait, that’s the real goal. Obamacare Mach II retains the government run option so when the private companies go out of business everyone will be forced to look to Obama for salvation. And we do mean forced. There is a huge penalty tax imposed on anyone who tries to go without healthcare. Just in case there are any politicians out there who aren’t eager to destroy the world’s greatest healthcare system, the Dems think they have one more ace up their sleeve. We have to pass this bill “to honor” the swimmer, Ted Kennedy. As far as TDI is concerned that’s the only reason needed to vote against it. LINK
