Why our Health Care Ssystem needs to be fixed

We spend more more money than any other nation on healthcare and do not get what we pay for. The health care system needs major reform. The current bill does not go far enough, but it is better than nothing. Click on the chart below to see the details.

The Republican effort to block the bill is tantamount to treason in the name of political expediency.

They want to F the country in order to gain political advantage. Shame on them.

If they mange to win the Mass senate seat, and try to filibuster the bill to death, we should just let them do it. No business will occur in the Senate until they stop, which will be a good thing, anyway.
From Wikipedia:
"A filibuster can be defeated by the governing party if they leave the debated issue on the agenda indefinitely, without adding anything else. Indeed, Strom Thurmond's own attempt to filibuster the Civil Rights Act was defeated when Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield refused to refer any further business to the Senate, which required the filibuster to be kept up indefinitely. Instead, the opponents were all given a chance to speak, and the matter eventually was forced to a vote."

It is notable that that major filibusters were mostly trying to block civil rights legislation.

Motto for Republicans:
I've got mine - up yours!
