This is American politics, so you guys might not be interested, but I thought I'd post it anyway.
Death threats plague Democrats who supported Barack Obama's health care bill
Obama's health care bill: the key points
I had a look at the key points and to me it seems like a good plan.
"I hope you bleed ... (get) cancer and die,"
What a stupid thing to say. Really kinda shows the mentality of the people against it.  _________________ It's so easy to laugh

I really don't understand people who are against it.
I love the NHS. |

theres a really weird thing about this bill
exact figures may be wrong as im a bit pissed but
it compels health insurance companies to pay for treatment but
if the treatment is say 200 dollars a month and patient cant afford it the insurance company has to pay it, or if it doesnt has to pay a fine of 50 dollars a month, so which will they do...
as i say those figures are random but its still stacked against the patient so it means nothing
anyhoo that was a lionel shriver thing i read - go read her books, they're great _________________ I like my women like I like my coffee.
