		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Instead of trying to force Congress to be held to the same health exchanges/public option that we are, why not use the equal protection clause to say that we cannot be denied the same gold plated health insurance plan that they have. You can’t provide to one group without providing access to all groups.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Good point.  You might also like George Will&#039;s editorial of a few days ago (http://townhall.com/columnists/GeorgeWill/2009/11/19/fighting_a_coercion_clause)  It is all about using the Dem&#039;s own legal arguments to support abortion against them, among other things.

What goes around, comes around...</description>

		<description>Also the Supremes have used the equal protection clause to allow illegals access to emergency room medical care,etc., based on the premise that you can&#039;t provide to one group without providing to all groups, or deny one group.

		<description>at 11:02 am, cactusjoe said:

The bill, once established would be very difficult to repeal. The U. S. Supreme Court has ruled that government entitlements are property and cannot be confiscated without due process. An unconstitutional system is being put into place that would be backed by the U. S. Constitutional.


Can we use this argument to stop the stealing and &quot;redistribution&quot; of our Medicare entitlements that we paid into our whole life?  It is a trust fund and an entitlement that they are just taking and transferring to a new entitlement without due process.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s an old joke about an old man goes into a bar, sits down next to this babe quite younger and says,

&quot;Would you have sex with me for a million dollars?&quot;

And the babe thinks for a minute and says,

&quot;For a million dollars, yes I think I&#039;ll have sex with you.&quot;

The old guys says,

&quot;Ok, how about for 20 bucks?&quot;

And the young babe slaps him and exclaims, &quot;What kind of girl do you think I am!&quot;

And the old man says, &quot;We&#039;ve already established that.  Now we&#039;re just negotiating on price.&quot;

The setup is now Reid will do anything to get votes and he has telegraphed that to folks who think getting as much as they can from the government for there states keeps them in office.  Reid has telegraphed what kind of person he is.  Now we&#039;re just negotiating.....

The feeding frenzy is about to begin!</description>

How high is YOUR pay off price? I hope every single person who votes for the final bill is on the un-employment line after the 2010 elections. I will vote against every one of you I can. YES, I am a very bitter person today, thank you dc bunch!

the only reason this bill does not technically bust the federal budget is that &lt;strike&gt;most of the&lt;/strike&gt; a large proportion of the cost is transferred to the states after two years.</description>

		<description>Another key issue to remember, especially when contacting your senators and congressmen, is that the only reason this bill does not technically bust the federal budget is that most of the a large proportion of cost is transferred to the states after two years. So the nation goes bankrupt anyway. 

The reason this bill is over 2,000 pages long is because obfuscation demands it.</description>
