[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 704278, member: 9859"] Funny how all these Republicans are kicking and screaming over this reform which is virtrually modeled after Romney-care. We all know Romney is a flip-flopper, now we can call the new GQ poster boy Scott Brown a flip-flopper also.... Anyway, it is an expensive bill, but it also has larger offsets. That means it’s bringing in more money (taxes) and making more cuts (savings). These make it deficit reducing. And, for those of you who still buy into the “more years of taxes than benefits”, it’s WAY more deficit reducing in the second decade, when there are 10 years of taxes and 10 years of benefits. It’s also going to help trim Medicare (which fiscal conservatives would love in a rational world), close the donut hole (which seniors would love in a rational world), and cover 32 million more people (which liberals would love in a rational world). Legislation is about compromise. This isn’t the bill I would write if I were king of the world. But that’s not the way the world works. This is better than what we’ve got. [/QUOTE]
