greta: democrats are going full speed ahead betting the house on health care. is this a political case of be careful what wish for? could a november thumping be coming for the democrats? we report you decide. doug schoen, i read your blistering op-ed. which sentence should i pull out each is rougher than the next. you quote someone else saying, acting according to wish while not allowing one s self to be deflected by the facts, as a criticism of what is going on with the democrats, explain. i think it is simple. the democrats are pursuing policies that unpopular with the american people. we saw in massachusetts the result of that by going down the same path the democrats run the risk of political defeat if not potential temporary ruin nation in november. ruin nation in november.
their fire share. here s an opportunity for them to go to the public public exch, right? and acquire the health care they should have which every other american under this health care proposal is required to get. if it s with their own money, with no taxpayer, they are complying with the law. what do we do? they can t pay their taxes because it s administered by the government. they can t go to large retail chains, which offer subsidies on prescription drugs today in the private sector. are we going to check their i.d.? germs don t really understand. they don t have boundaries. so when a child goes into a classroom from an undocumented family without health care, my kid gets sick. greta: here s the problem. one is the substance, chiunderstand you are arguing. one is the practical, procedural part. what has to happen is that the house needs to, if this is to go forward, the house needs to vote to the senate bill, essentially.
