What jobs does HCR kill? And since the CBO has stated that HCR saves money are the Republicans, yet again, adding to the deficit? I realize this is political theater – a way to strut their stuff to the Tea Party – but it’s being performed on a rickety stage. There’s a lot of very popular provisions in HCR, but I guess those babies will be thrown out with the bath water.
The more I think about this date, the more it makes sense. They had better move quickly before their base realizes what HCR provisions kicked in this weekend. That’s a whole lotta goodies for the I’m against government healthcare! Keep your hands off my Medicare! crowd.
