Merry Christmas and Good Health!!!!

This morning the Senate approved the Health Care bill. Now for two more steps and by the end of 2014 insurance companies will not be able to pull coverage from the sick, or pull that preexisting condition bullshit. Medicare will expand to help cover the poor and the struggling. Prescription drug prices and over all coverage will fall. After negotiators from the House and the Senate meet to form a final bill, it will be given to President Obama to sign it. I don't see him vetoing the bill, unless he sticks by his guns and insists the bill have a public option. The approved Senate bill did not have a public option. But if we are going from Obama's "sticking to his guns" record, he'll most likely just sign whatever is in front of him. I'd rather he refuse to sign till we get a public option, but we'll find out what happens. The good news is that there will now be stronger restrictions on Health insurance companies.

Happy Holidays Everyone!!!!
