Obamacare: Democratic LeaderSteyn Hoyer Laughs at Idea That House Members Would Actually Read Health-Care Bill Before Voting On It House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Tuesday that the health-care reform bill now pending in Congress would garner very few votes if lawmakers actually had to read the entire bill before voting on it. “If every member pledged to not vote for it if they hadn’t read it in its entirety, I think we would have very few votes,” Hoyer told CNSNews.com at his regular weekly news conference.

And now for something completely different. First, a comparison of Georgia and Massachusetts for a sense of where healthcare will go under Obamacare. Now keep in mind that the care you get won’t be the same as what Obama gets.  He’s made it quite clear that when it comes to his family, only the best will suffice.  But for the rest of us, longer waiting times and the option to let anyone over 60 die early and in great pain, well – can’t make an omellette without breaking some eggs, you know?Second up we have a fancy little tune to cap, and trade, that should stick in your head for some time.
