Universal Obamacare: Will It Bankrupt America?

[RoyalShock]

But Democrats say the Republican outrage is misplaced given the GOP's use of fast-track procedures to pass President George W. Bush's 2001 and 2003 tax cut bills.

Ummm, no.

Fast-track to shrink government/lower taxes . . . :good:

Fast-track to expand government/raise taxes . . . :evil:

Care to explain why this is significant in any real practical way (putting aside the actual merits of nationalized healthcare)?

From the same article

In a rare move before the administration has unveiled all the details of its proposal, the industry groups are trying to strike a deal now with Obama officials to help get coverage for all Americans in the hopes they can stave off legislation that would restrict their profitability in future years

So it's not because they agree with Pres Obama on National Health Care, but that they want to ensure their profitability.

It's basically an "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" move by the industry.

Looks to me like they believe socialized HC is immenent.
