Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's scheme to divert $247 billion
in costs of health care legislation to a separate bill has
encountered resistance among five Senate Democrats who have said
they want the new spending to be offset with spending cuts or tax
increases, the Hill
reports.
The key thing to keep in mind though is that Democrats could
still pass a bill with a lower price tag that prevents scheduled
cuts to Medicare doctors' payments for a year, and then revisit
the issue a year from now. The problem with that approach,
however, is they risk losing support of the American Medical
Association.

A disgusting spectacle of persons and organizations fighting over my tax money, hoping that no one notices.
