“I don’t think you want me to waste my time to read every page of the health care bill. You know why? It’s statutory language,” [Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont.] said. “We hire experts.” (source)

by Duane on March 25th, 2010 at 3:05 pm
Posted In: Commentary, Economy, Obama Health Care, Our Health, Politics

Posted In: Obama Health Care, Our Health, Politics, Question

Anytime a major piece of legislation is being pushed, there always has to be a racial component added to it in order to sweeten the sale to Americans. This health care bill was no exception.
