That's ok, you don't like Fox News.

I guess that is a great reason to let the Govt. take over everything.

This isn't about posting a final version of the bill. This is about catching a politician in a lie, and using it as a weak chance to bash her. Let's get real.

The first version has been available to read, which I'll bet none of you have. I know I didn't. Legal speak put's me right to sleep.

I'll go one further and predict that even when the final version is released, none of you will read it anyway. But hey, by all means have your fun.

You underestimate the intelligence of some American citizens, some who are capable of reading through the final version of this bill and highlighting the most dangerous laws... Some people are very smart and have oodles of free time.

This really isn't about keeping the final bill from the people before the vote, it is all about keeping it away from the opposition for as long as possible thus minimizing exposure of what will be the largest expansion of government powers in our history, hidden and open taxes and bureaucracy that will take over, control and run a very major portion of the US economy and private sector.

Health care needs reforms, but not this. The government is seeking to expand its powers over the people and private sector through this legislation and other pending legislation... They will find ways to control costs and collect revenue for their past, present and future massive spending plans.

If the people lay down and take this then there is no hope, there will be no stopping the expansion of government.

Their agenda cannot handle transparency... that alone should frighten every American, regardless of your political positions on this.

I don't underestimate the intelligence of people who will use this as an excuse to bash Pelosi when the bill has been up for viewing for days. I think I am full aware of thier intelligence. To them this isn't about the "final version". It is just another opportunity to complain about the democratic version of the bill which they don't like. That's fine. They have that right. I'm just pointing out the obvious.

The funny thing is, this isn't the final version of the bill either. This is the House version, which will be merged with the Senate bill. So complaining about Pelosi not posting a "final Version" is mute.

But so what, that's no reason not to parrot glenn beck and slap each other on the back.

I also remember that President Obama promised us that federal funds from this health care bill would not go to fund abortions...lol...surprise surprise! Thats exactly what some of these funds will do...fund abortions.

You have not seen the bill...how can you say that it will fund abortions? Also, no abortions can be funded use tax payer dollars - there is a law on the books that superscedes this bill - so YOU stop spreading lies and pull your head out of the elephant's rear end. It is this kind of disinformation that makes me believe that we need a government run healthcare option now more than ever - the people that are tugging your pupet strings are the same one's that will loose power and money....think about it!

OK this is just silly...If the government wanted to take away your rights, they would not hide it in a Healthcare Bill. Our Government needs no excuse take away the rights that it gave you. Your arguement was well written and very well articulated, but sir, that will only get you so far....you see it is your logic that is way off.

My hope for humanity is that we all start using the eductation that we paid for and start applying deductive reasoning to every situation. Think about it...if the Government wanted total control, they would not do it through healthcare - they would instead start a war with a country looking for weapons of mass distruction or something and then use it to pass new presidential orders declaring their word final.....oh wait, that already happend and his name was George Bush....thank god for elections.

Pelosi unveiled the House version of the bill several days ago.

www.abovetopsecret.com...

You can download it and read it here (warning 1990 pages big pdf).

What they are referring to is the final version being posted, which is still being negotiated. Is that really enough of a reason to bash her? Of coarse it is, if you are a right wing extremist.

Give them an inch and they want a mile.


Jesus christ, are for sure? "Stop bashing nancy" "poor nancy. Get a grip of yourself.

haha then look it up she has lied and will continue to do so,your just naive enough to believe that shes capable of telling the truth

1 CIA "lied to her about enhanced interrogation" = liar

2 got a nice clean up pet project for an area where her husband owns real estate = business person

3 forcing herself to tears on national television? = bad person

hopefully you get a bit smarter after reading this post

... Well that PROVES your point!
Sounds like two lawyers propagandizing on FOX news.
In other words, it's....FOX news.

I don't watch FOX news either, but is it really wise to readily dismiss something out-of-hand just because it was on FOX news? Don't you think it's possible that a bill written by congress may have portions that are confusing or don't make sense? It wouldn't be the first time that happened.

Dismissing a story on FOX news solely because it is on FOX news would be like people dismissing something posted on ATS solely because it is on ATS.
