Media only reports on the Senate Finance Committee health care bill, ignoring

[AlinPA]

the one from the HELP committee, passed previously. Does the Senate Finance Committee bill trump the HELP bill? Media makes it seem so.

This fact gets very little treatment by the media:
"Once approved by the committee, Reid and other Senate Democratic leaders will merge the Finance Committee bill with one passed by the Senate health panel earlier this year for Senate consideration."

1. Yes but the Baucus bill will have no impact whatsoever ....

... and I know this because Mitch McConnel told me so! :)

(he was trying to downplay the bill yesterday after the OMN announced the cost savings it would create, I turned up my nose and laughed at him. ooh ha ha ha haaaaa!)
