Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

What Is YOUR Prediction On The Health Care Vote?

I'm interested to hear how you believe this upcoming floor vote will pan out.

Thank You

Luckily the Dummycrats do not have a Whip like Tom Delay who could get the GOP to march in step as required. It should fail for one reason the Reps that are worried about their JOBS will be like if I vote for it I might be OUT OF WORK NEXT YEAR.

I sincerely hope it does NOT pass, along with the majority of regular American citizens.

But, I have no faith in our current government to do what the PUBLIC wants, anymore..

Sadly, I think it will pass...

It's pretty simple, any legislation that includes a public option will not garner enough votes from moderate Democrats, and any legislation that does not include a public option won't get enough votes from the Far Left.

No need to worry about a blatant attempt at a public option, but my guess is they will hide a provision somewhere, and since no one seems to read the Bills, it may pass.

I'm afraid they are going to force it down our throats, like it or not.

That will cost them in 2010, but long term - once we are forced on government dependence, sadly, it will ensure the entrenchment of the Socialist party.

I hope I'm wrong.

Dems don't have the balls to jam it through.

I think we'll all get ice cream, Our children get to lick the bowl, Our children's children will get mud!

They will do as they always do.
They/socialists will trade misery for support and chip away at individual freedom!

Sad!,...majority of socialist don't even know their socialists.
They wont have any idea the damage they do till they've out lived their usefulness.

Until THEY don't qualify for a new hip under Government restrictions and rationing.

It'll never pass with a public option. But it's a shame that Democrats will not even consider two things that are necessary for any kind of meaningful health care reform. Medical malpractice reform and insurance portability. Of course trial lawyers make large contributions to democrats so that's why you'll never see medical malpractice reform and that's a crying shame, it's badly needed.

The one certainty is that the average taxpayer will get screwed, and lots of lawyers will continue to get richer.
