I really don't know that much about the bill, because I haven't read enough about it. I was waiting to see if it went anywhere. Now I have to find a condensed version to read. Know where one is? *g* I've got a couple of nieces that are bad mouthing Obama and the country like crazy on Facebook. I just said, I want to read what it's about first before I start throwing crap on Facebook. I think it makes sense, but Rod said that 14 states have already sued. Do you believe that? So I guess it's not just my nieces that feel that way about it. Rod said, chances are the states that filed are run by repulicans. We'll have to wait and see.

I don't know where a condensed version is, but I do know the high points ( ... )

I like those highlights. I'm sure there are many things to work out yet, but it sounds good. Our Vincent didn't have insuance for two and a half years and kept going to the ER for the horrible pain he was suffering. As soon as they found out he had no insurance, they would just listen to him and then quickly send him away. Once he got insurance, low and behold, someone did tests and found out what was causing the pain. It shouldn't have been like that at all, but that's how hospitals and clinics are. If this will help people get listened to, then I'm all for it. Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me. Do you have good health insurance? We have pretty decent care, but this would make it much nicer.

Hugs, Patt

I've been very fortunate to have good benefits. I would've been in a severe pickle without the coverage ( ... )

Virginia is suing. As you know, that's where I live. But I'm used to being fucked without lube, so don't expect this to be any diff.

I heard there were at least 14 states suing, but I'm hoping that the law is strong enough to overcome all that.
