re: #19 sattv4u2

So someone phrasing a line in a proposed bill as a “death panel’ to try to scare (literally) support against the bill is worse that promising the bill will get a full public airing AND not be signed for almost a week after?
Perhaps if the bill DID get that full public display the “death panel” comment would have been laughed at immediatly instead of taking root

Health reform has been given a more complete airing than any single piece of legislation I can remember. Good God, it’s not as if the Bill passed out of the House is in any way going to look like the Bill that will be delivered to the President’s desk. The final legislation still has to go through the joint House/Senate resolution process.
