It closes the donut hole.
BOOO!
I love donut holes!
where de death panelz?
To quote Mae West (well, paraphrase) “being good has nothing to do with it.”
Yes, I can see now what Glenny Beck and the ilk are so upset about, the mark of the beast in the expansion of health care to the poor, indigent, and those who do not deserve it… thanks for clearing it up at last…
I didn’t see any provision for bombing Mexicans and women (i.e. Mexicans) contemplating abortion. No wonder the Republicans can’t support it.
And yet, they insist on being scared.
It’s scary, Jim. So scary.
I’ve been scared since 9/11.
HEY, IS THAT MICHELLE BACHMAN AND NO PANTS BROWN IN THAT CARTOON ?
<—
Actually scary: McCain’s lead over Hayworth is down to seven percent (rasmussen). Why is this scary? One, because Hayworth could actually become a US Senator; two, because McCain could *remain* a US Senator.
Which of these provisions is the one implementing the totalitarian workers’ paradise I keep hearing about?
I love that they snuck a student loan overhaul in there. If they manage to pass this, it’ll be like passing *two* kidney stones at once!
JIM NEWELL IS A TOOL OF THE INSURANCE COMPANIES

Wake up sheeple– it closes the glory hole! This is a direct attack against the GOP!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[re=533563]AxmxZ[/re]: It’s very good policy. Direct Loans is cheaper for the taxpayer and less stupid for those of us who owe tons of money in order to be overqualified for anything at all.
@Nichols1984: Do you have anything in rubber?
I’ll bet this healthcare bill only pays for plain donut holes, not delicious sugar-coated ones. The olds are doomed!
[re=533566]Hopey dont play that game[/re]: Epic Win.
[re=533563]AxmxZ[/re]: Yeah I’m so glad they did that. SAFRA is one of their best, easiest ideas, and now they have a way to pass it without Ben Nelson and others throwing a hissy fit b/c of the student loan companies in their states.
Chocolate covered doughnut/donut holes for ALL! Yeah! It’s not the socialist paradise I was hoping for, but maybe I can get something for this plauge I’ve been fighting off…of course I’ll have to live till 2014 first though, right. Oh well. Doughnut Holes for all!
Newell forgot the “ramming it down our throat” part.
[re=533595]WadISay[/re]: Oh, good catch. Also forgot the “Injects all children with insane AIDS, and taxes”
[re=533587]Jim Newell[/re]: Or, alternatively, fail to pass it. But it’s still a good idea.
Ohio guy with the wallet full of singles is in charge of handing out the subsidies.
What the fuck will we talk about after this? Lithuanian penises?
Health care?
Bosh! Flimshaw!
Why does Congress think we can afford to save money?
[re=533600]Buzz Feedback[/re]: I don’t think Joe the Plumber has anything in his wallet.
Not reading it don’t want it. Got a problem with that?
[re=533529]Come here a minute[/re]: [re=533588]heathenish[/re]: I left a Munchkin for everyone a long time ago, but Jim eated it.
I, the one serious wonkeratti responding to this tonight, is extremely grateful to Jim for this post. I will make sure to forward it to Spooky Doktor Tom’s office first thing in the morning, so expect his announcement that he supports the Health Insurance Reform bill sometime tomorrow afternoon. And then he will thank Dust BowlBlues, Jim Newell, and “our” wonkette for making the world safe for democracy.
Also, I will be 30, slim and hot again.
[re=533605]Mr Blifil[/re]: What random universe did that one come from?
[re=533605]Mr Blifil[/re]: Senator Ensign’s sordid little affair. There are indictments a-coming down. Springtime indeed!
[re=533626]DustBowlBlues[/re]: Slap you upside the head with nine inches of limp dick!
[re=533626]DustBowlBlues[/re]: I wasn’t trying to be crude, it was from a couple days ago.
[re=533620]JeffBarea[/re]: you know it….. teh socialism will get you.
then the death panel.
thats how scary it is, dont read it.
[re=533605]Mr Blifil[/re]: lithuanian penises will be a delightful reward for the past 13 months of sheer hell.
i suspect come sunday we will all be wildly drunk no matter which way this goes.
needz moar socialism.
It is not scary. It is so, so comically un-scary.
The Republican protests are pure theater. Their masters at Aetna and New York Life are getting 32 million mandatory new customers–people who have to buy their products or pay a fine. I don’t know of anything else like it. It’s not like car insurance, where you have to buy insurance if you want to drive.
The Republicans stonewalled to get the concessions they wanted, and they won. So why are they still whining? Why don’t they just shaddup? Because they want us to think that we won, so we’ll stop seeking a real national health plan, e.g., Medicare for all.
[re=533625]DustBowlBlues[/re]:
Also, I will be 30, slim and hot again.
I think you’re hot.
needz moar socialism.
No shit.
[re=533626]DustBowlBlues[/re]: There’s only one random universe after all…
[re=533649]Aurelio[/re]: I’d hit that.
[re=533566]Hopey dont play that game[/re]: “Wake up sheeple– it closes the glory hole!”
Right! I’m bloody terrified now… so must I come over there, learn to speak ‘Merikin, and comport and dress myself like a sufficiently-Trigtarded fat pasty slug in order to take my place in the March of the Teabaggers?
Jim:
What part of the Catholic Church, along with Main Stream Protestants, Hitler, Mao, Lenin and Stalin coming together to unleash Social Justice on the world so that good, salt of the Earth American’s would stop pulling up their boot straps and instead start drinking tea and worshiping Satan like Europeans by taking care of the poor and providing health care to people and abortions for all instead of letting people pick their own damn herbs if they can’t afford medicine, and this is what you get if you allow a Kenyan Muslim (all, right, damn it, black) Socialist run the country, do you not understand?
[re=533596]Jim Newell[/re]: Sadly, you can live with Aids. Taxes, however, kill the very heart of liberty. Glen Beck and Sean Hannity weep for you, commie. It’s in the Bible!
I am so going to throw a party when this thing passes. You’re ALL invited (except for Wendykat, though her octogenarian boyfriend can come along). Meet me in the streets of America.

So has the GOP switched back to CBO bashing mode yet? I don’t know how they don’t get whiplash.

Here is some maths from my old boyfriend Nate for those of us who do not sleep and can still count cards even UNDER SOCILIZM. It will make your brain hurt in a good way.
[re=533625]DustBowlBlues[/re]: When HRC passes we will all be 30 and slim and hot again. That’s what happens when you lose your freedoms under the socialist yoke of Obamacare.
No snark, but a prediction. They aren’t going to run against this in November, or make any serious attempts to repeal it. In November, they’ll be saying that they were for single-payer all along, and the Democrats screwed it up.
[re=533680]102415[/re]: Oooh Nate talks about a “well-run whipping operation” and I got all warm and happy for many reasons.
[re=533669]artpepper[/re]: check the comments from the AP article.
Today should be..uh..interesting. More hateful rhetoric, threats, de-humanizing Parkinson’s victims, and recriminations. Good times! I can’t wait for immigration reform!
[re=533667]Extemporanus[/re]: Needs more GET A BRAIN, MORANS!!
[re=533682]102415[/re]: “When HRC passes we will all be 30 and slim and hot again”
No, that’s what happens when we win the Powerball.
[re=533556]ForTheTurnstiles[/re]: two, because McCain could *remain* a US Senator.
Good old John “the remains” McCain
