Relieved or Scared? Senators Near 'Bipartisan' Health Deal
A bipartisan group of senators is closing in on a health care compromise that omits key Democratic priorities but seeks to hold down costs, as lawmakers on both sides of the Capitol labor to deliver sweeping health legislation to President Barack Obama. After weeks of secretive talks, three Democrats and three Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee were edging closer to a compromise that excludes a requirement many congressional Democrats seek for large businesses to offer coverage to their workers. Nor would there be a provision for a government insurance option, despite Obama's support for such a plan, officials said.

They should ALL be scared, every last one of them. Scared of WE THE PEOPLE who have had enough and will not take any more. 2010, 2012 and beyond (especially for my two Snowe and Collins). Lying dogs all.

They should fear the people far more than anything else. The people aren't going to just lay down and accept this, and the anger will be directed at those who help push it through. Congress must have failed to learn history.

They do fear the people, why do you think they want to do away with the 2nd Amendment?

Can't say much until the bill is presented to us. What I found interesting in the article was the townhall meeting with Barry and AARP today. Am I the only one that has noticed the increase of commercials lately of AARP's supplemental health care coverage program? I don't trust AARP any more than I trust Washington.

We all need to remember the representatives and senators who vote for this legislation and the Cap and Tax bill come 2010 election time. I have sent all of my representative, both House and Senate, my feelings on this and if they chose to ignore, so be it. I will not support them anymore, irregardless of party.
