Since Scott Brown just logged into the Senate, can we start the health care debate all over again?

   What health care debate?There is no debate.
   It is handled behind closed doors, for only the chosen few to hear the exact details?

   Well, Bush set us back more than 8 years. The rest of the Republicans will try very hard to break his record.

   Death panels? Mandatory abortions?

   The death panel question has been torpedoed to death on several occasions. If you will avail yourself to any news source outside of a heavily right wing funded website, you will quickly see that ‘end of life counseling’ is definitely more than a subtle nudge for people to choose hospice care over expensive medical equipment. But there will be no ‘panels’ of doctors or insurance agents deciding arbitrarily who dies and who doesn’t. It would still ultimately be up to the patient, and/or the patients families as to what sort of care they wish for.

   Mandatory abortions? No where in the current health care bill is anything made MANDATORY. Especially not abortions. There was a portion of the bill that would give a person a chance to take a government funded plan which covered abortions, or one that didn’t, depending on the persons particular preference. Outside of that, there is no language/legislation associated with abortion.

   Please, please find news sources that at least quote actual passages from the bills they are denigrating, as fallacies such as this serve to only debase the debate and help ultimately make things worse for all of us.

   Of course you can now return back to the dark ages whence you came , and those that cannot afford health care can go to hell.
