a health care bill right out of the heritage foundation including the mandate is a very repug idea. We'll see about scotus' decision. Right now, the scotus is very pro corporation and they may argue; but we'll see what actually comes down. With scalia, I can see him be against anything that actually would regulate the health insurance industry; not so much really caring about the american plebes.

Of course, I'm not shocked that the repugs APPEAR to be fighting the bill. After all, it's really their idea; and now they act like it was some sort of SOSHULIST idea. Now, it was their idea when they pretended to CARE about the american people; now they've convinced their sycophants that people who don't have health care it's their fault; therefore, they should just die. Once they had a half greedy heart; now they have none at all.
