The Republican Plan to Block Health Care Reform
Last night, we took a huge step forward towards passing health care reform. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid unveiled details of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the CBO score stating that the bill will reduce the budget deficit by $127 billion dollars over the first 10 years and provide coverage to tens of millions of Americans who are currently uninsured.

The CBO score obliterates the arguments opponents of health care reform have been using for months. They've been claiming the Senate health plan will be a 'costly' government takeover and it will lead to 'delays' and 'denial' of care. For months, the Minority Leader has claimed that Americans will be "forced into a government plan they don't like." These false claims are deplorable scare tactics. The American people deserve better. They deserve the truth.

1. I dunno
The color is just not right and there is too little room.

Nope, I'd rather walk in the snow all day than ever ride in that.

&&&&&&&

Seems to be how some of us are reacting, eh?
