I wonder what all the poor people are doing today

Obama will be over there for Christmas. Supposedly staying in Kailua, about 30 minutes from Honolulu.

I am working so you can have health care.

Actually - we are working so that the residents of Nebraska can be sure to get their Medicare.

You're working/paying for more than Nebraska's vote.....

-- Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., won between $100 million and $300 million in additional federal aid for her state's Medicaid population. The deal, secured before she cast her critical vote in favor of bringing the health bill to the floor, was immediately dubbed the "Louisiana Purchase," though the actual Louisiana Purchase was considerably cheaper.

-- Vermont and Massachusetts got $1.2 billion in Medicaid money -- a change that was described as a correction to the current system which exempts those two states because they have robust health care systems. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders also boasted Saturday that he requested and won an investment worth between $10 and $14 billion for community health centers.

-- Florida, New York and Pennsylvania -- where five of six senators are Democrats -- will have their seniors' Medicare Advantage benefits protected, even as the program sees massive cuts elsewhere.

-- Connecticut is receiving $100 million for a "health care facility" affiliated with an academic health center at a university that contains the state's only "public academic medical and dental school."

-- Nebraska's Nelson won permanent federal aid for his state's expanded Medicaid population, a benefit worth up to $100 million over 10 years. Other states get the federal aid for three years, but Nebraska's benefit is indefinite. His state also got an exemption for nonprofit insurance companies from a health insurance company tax. Many believe this was targeted at Mutual of Omaha, but senior Democratic aides would not confirm that.

Thanks for the update SMU89.

So to sum things up - if you currently have insurance, and you aren't a senior living in FL, NY, CT, LA, PA, or NE - YOUR US Senate just bent you over and had their way with you.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Pretty soon we'll be Greece and investors will be buying CDS's on our debt...

Isn't that President Soros's goal?

Oh well, when the economy ends up in shambles, at least I live in a state where you all will have to pay for my Medicaid!

These people "represent a clear and present danger to the sovereignty of the United States of America".

I hope Harrison Ford or Jack Nicholson read this and take immediate action.

I'm good to go.


PONY UP!

I hate it when they let the Riff-Raff from the Marriott Waikiki hang out at our pool at the Sheraton Waikiki

The Sheraton is an under construction dump.

But I wish I was there now. I am a poor person, though.

You are not there? I told them to hold one of the tickets I bought for you.
