Lack of Health Care Reform means American Wage Stagnation

I am not saying the Senate or House health care bill will bring down costs by itself, it is a start though (And it is not Obamacare, Tom you are smart enough to recognize that Obama has been hands off and let Congress drive the process calling it Obamacare is intellectually dishonest).
Without Health Care reform that reduces costs, insurance costs will continue to increase. Since our health care insurance system is tied to employment; employers costs increase for providing the same amount of health care. Our wages may not go up but what the cost an employer pays for a worker will continue to go up. There is a greater correlation between health care costs and wage growth than there is with wage growth and economic growth and wage growth and productivity per person.
And these additional health care costs do not lead to better results. We are paying more yet not getting healthier.

Actually, there is a chance they can use reconiliation to pass it. I hope not.

If they did that, they'd be signing their own resignations.

I guess it depends on the wake up call's message.

The Democrats have the arrogance to say "people don't understand the Health Care Bill".

I believe I vented that the bill was crap, but that the alternative was crap as well

That would be so massive a reform that it would never ever pass.

Right...you just go back to what you know, though I'm not sure anyone has determined what that is.

I think your misunderstanding comes from one concept you mention.

It would mean, effectively, that Congress controls the domestic agenda and Hillary foreign affairs.

As a matter of fact, some babies are put back into the womb, just so they can be aborted again. *NM*
