A Democratic Congressman has stated that he will refuse to vote yes on the pending health care reform bill, declaring that the legislation represents a vastly bloated giveaway to insurance companies and big pharma.
Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) asserts that the Senate bill bankrolls the very companies that president Obama says are taking advantage of the American people.
“We’ve paid the ransom, but at the end of the day the insurance companies are still holding the hostages,’’ Lynch said in an interview with The Boston Globe yesterday.
I think it is depressing that people actually believe they are wanting to pass this bill for the good of the people.

Not surprising when most think of it as a freebie.
Hey, but its free healthcare.

Can anyone expand on why this is a give away for big pharma and big insurance companies? I agree but would like some explanation to argue with people with.
Try to tell that to a child.

Let's make it even more simple, if government was so concerned about insurance for children, every child would have been covered a long time ago and I seriously doubt any adult American would have a problem picking up the tab for that.
George W. Bush apparently did.

Yep, let's play the child card.
You ever hear of the CHIP program, medicaid and charitable contributions to help children.
