Is the Health Care Reform bill going to the President's Desk?

Well, the Senate has passed their version of Health Care, will it go directly to the President's desk to be signed into law? Or, will it go to conference to be blended with the House's version first?

Those who are against health care reform, try and walk a mile in the shoes of one of those without health care. The working poor, those that make less than 30,000 a year. Look at this from their point of view, before complaining over and over about how wrong this is.

The GOP rails against everything in this bill. scare tactics are just plain wrong, when you as a public servant make comments it shouldn't be just to scare their constituents with opposition, for the sake of opposition, it's time that they backed it up with facts, directing people to the actual portion of the bill where their concern is proven.

To the people who let these fear-mongers direct their dissent, go in and read every line of the bill, before you actually decide that it does what these fear-mongers say it's going to do. Just like those who are supporting it are trying to do. Educate yourselves to the truth, and stop following blindly like sheep.

There are parts of both the House and Senate Bills that I don't like, but there is much more that I do. Some I agree doesn't have anything to do with Health Care Reform, but much more of it does.

You decide. Go and read the bills, compare them side by side, highlight the phrases you don't understand, go to a dictionary and look it up. Then when you've done all that, you can complain about this bill.

One solution to Health Care Reform

The common man's solution to Health Care Reform.
1. Remove the cap from the payroll tax (FICA/Medicare) so all those employed pay into SS throughout their earnings rather than only up to $97K. Why should those making more than $97K get a free ride after that?

2. Change eligibility standards for Medicaid so that more low income workers can receive it, not free but pay a premium based on a sliding scale. Michigan's full eligibility is at 46% of FPL, then those above 46% have a deductible that they pay to health care providers, why pay this to the provider, why not have them pay a premium into the Medicaid Program instead? This would aid in refunding Medicaid at the State Level. Also, State's are allowed to operate Medicaid as they see fit, there is no standard.

3. Expand Medicare to those 55+ if they choose to opt-into it..
