OBAMACARE 5.0

Since I have already had to read two previous versions of these monstrosities in the House and two more in the Senate, I call this version Obamacare 5.0 and it…
A POLITICALLY CORRECT CONSTITUTION?

The Baucus Bill: More of the Same
A number of people are emailing me asking me if I have read the Baucus Bill and what I think of it. The problem is there is no real bill introduced yet.
