One item in the Health Bill would increase Medicare payments to hospitals and doctors in any state where at least 50% of the counties have a population density less than 6 people per square mile. Which are the lucky states? The bill gives no clue. Republicans denounced the deal struck on Saturday. “This process is not legislation,” said Sen Tom Coburn, referring to a variety of special-interest provisions. “This process is corruption. It’s a shame the only way we can come to a consensus in this country is to buy votes.”

Tired Of Congress “Flipping A Bird To The American People”
Rep. National Committee chairman Michael Steele says he is tired of Congress “flipping a bird to the American people.” His comments were triggered by Democrats advancing health-care legislation on a strictly party-line vote. “This is a bad bill. It’s bad law. It’s bad for America. It is bad for individuals. Enough is enough,” said Steele. Harry Reid responded, “I’m disappointed that Mr. Steele would be such a terrible example for the youth of this country.”
