A Healthcare Bill That Will Get Republican Votes
Health Insurance Reform Act of 2009

Be it enacted that all insurance executive salraies shall raise by 265% over the next three years.

All citizens will purchase health care insurance at whatever rates the insurance companies determine are fair and equitable.

Failure to obtain health insurance by any citizen of the United States shall be punishable by a fine not to exceed three times what the insuarnce premiums would have been as determined by the insurance comapanies.


The vote in the Senate would be 63-37 and the 37 Republicans would still call it socialized medicine.

1. Actually the GOP will support Co-ops.
Get everyone into private Insurance and this gives them
the moment of their lives---End Medicare.

3. Sadly, there are some here that would even call that bill a "win".
And not just the ones who get paychecks from insurance companies or corporate hospital chains.
