The House leadership (Nancy Pelosi) is trying to schedule a vote on the House's version of the Health Care Bill - the 1,990 page monster (HR 3962). The short title of this bill - and the only thing short or small about this bill - is "Affordable Health Care for America Act."
The preamble states that it is proposed "to provide affordable, quality health care for all Americans and reduce the growth in health care spending, and for other purposes."
Notice the emphasis on costs "affordable" is in the name and the preamble - it goes on to say "reduce the growth in spending."
Interesting how something that is projected to cost well over $1,000,000,000 - and typically is off by a factor of 10 or more - can be called "affordable."
This is both laughable and regretable that our Congress is so out of touch with the American public that it is totally insensitive to any type of fiscal restraint and Constitutionally guaranteed personal liberties.

Stop this bill, and stop the power grab and erosion of our rights.
