WASHINGTON -- After a filibuster and threats of obstruction by Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), the Senate unanimously passed a bill on Wednesday that would provide health care for first responders to the 9/11 terrorist attack. Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer reached a deal with Republican senators to support the bill earlier in the afternoon. (UPDATE: The House has also passed the legislation.)
This healthcare bill is outrages,
already major corporations like McDonald's and Walmart

Thinking Jon Stewart got anything passed is beyond ignorant....
Should have a site call BEYONDIGNORANCE.com for people like that.
Now you *grown ups* can dribble over Jon Stewart all day and all night all in this thread.
Using Jon Stewart for political correctness is like sending santa clause down your chimney to steal everything under the tree.

I should not be forced at gunpoint to fund the healthcare of others.
7 billion dollars is enough to pay 70,000 people $100,000
For some reason I doubt there are that many "first responders" with ultra huge medical bills.
