By Jove, I think Bobert is finally beginning that people are not always right or wrong.

"Way too much appeasement" Yeah, that's a good start Bobert.

Is he a weak leader? Are your lips loosing suction?

The "Crybaby health insurance companys" sent their lobbyists, the ones that Obama said were not going to run things anymore, to help the people that wrote the bill to write the bill as per below. Also see Bill Moyers below.

That's why they raised the rate recently. The tears are tears of laughter on the way to the bank.

One of Bobert's approved news sources said:

Its many cost-control provisions are geared toward reducing the amount of care we consume, not the price we pay.

"Mr. BAUCUS. Mr. President, there are a flood of emotions going through all of us today as we pass this reconciliation bill which improves upon the bill the President signed 2 days ago. I would like to focus only on one part–a very important part but only one part–and that is to thank the people who have worked so hard, especially in this body, to help accomplish this result
    We all want to thank so many people. Once we start mentioning a couple or three names, we run the danger of offending people whose names are not mentioned. We all know that. There will be an appropriate time for us to make all the thanks, and I will make mine so sincerely because I am so grateful for all the hard work my staff has put into this.
    I wish to single out one person, and that one person is sitting next to me. Her name is [former Wellpoint VP] Liz Fowler. Liz Fowler is my chief health counsel. Liz Fowler has put my health care team together. Liz Fowler worked for me many years ago, left for the private sector, and then came back when she realized she could be there at the creation of health care reform because she wanted that to be, in a certain sense, her profession lifetime goal. She put together the White Paper last November–2008–the 87-page document which became the basis, the foundation, the blueprint from which almost all health care measures in all bills on both sides of the aisle came. She is an amazing person. She is a lawyer; she is a Ph.D. She is just so decent. She is always smiling, she is always working, always available to help any Senator, any staff. I thank Liz from the bottom of my heart. In many ways, she typifies, she represents all of the people who have worked so hard to make this bill such a great accomplishment.
    I will have printed in the Record the names of all my professional staff. There are more than I realized, so I can't name them all. I ask unanimous consent to have that list printed in the Record and just regret that I cannot thank everybody personally."


Who is Liz Fowler? Ask PBS / NPR's Bill Moyers
