What are the Democrats hiding in the "Health Care" bill?
They refuse to tell us what it costs, they refuse to make it available to read, they refuse to add a ban on elective abortions. Does this bother you? Where is the transparency?

If this was was a good piece of legislation you'd think they'd he advertising how wonderful it was. This would help them politically.
But no, they hide the details and try and shove it through quickly since they know that the more we learn the more we hate this. Same thing happened with the pork spending bill. AFTER the fact we learned the details and discovered what a disaster it was.
There never was any transparency and they never intended there to be any!

Democrats don't want you to question them, don't you know that?
Just be quiet and accept it.
don't read the bill, just vote for it, speaking of Congress.
Hiding? They're hiding plenty
The cost will be astronomical, and you'll find out what's in it and how much it will cost in 2013, after the 2012 election, when it's implemented.
Big rush to pass it, but why no rush to implement it???/
hmmmmmm....

Nothing. I am sure that once the CBO has added up the costs, it will be made public. What bill are you talking? The House health care bill is already available online.

You do not want to know. Best to just vote it into oblivion.
I hope you've seen this, but if not:

If you watch it, watch it all the way through as I believe you'll see that whoever is doing this is right on.

They have made it available to read. Also, conservatives constantly complain about how the government tries to get in their lives, but when they lay off, and try to allow to give women's rights to choose what to do with her body, and to allow gays to marry, conservatives throw a hissy fit. And they have given costs, it is estimated at 1.6 trillion, and now they are trying to lower it. Research next time ;).

Actually, they have been but your TV and radio shows like to pretend that they haven't because you follow along with whatever they tell you.
Nevertheless, can cost ever be so prohibitive that it trumps human life? If you say yes to this question...you're a heartless and immoral Conservative.

They snuck an euthanasia clause in there, so they can exterminate old people.
But seriously, its a bill, its not going to be full of secret gotcha stuff.

The costs thru higher taxes on the rich AND working people. Just to "give it" to the poor who DON'T NEED OR CARE about their OWN health care!
All in the name of "giving your fair share"!
BS!
