Boy, to hear many Republicans tell it they have been the watchdogs of fiscal responsibility. They have recently begun squawking about deficits and spending. They try to say our country is spending too much and we cannot afford Universal Healthcare. Of course, they conviently leave out the facts about why our deficit is where it is right now.

Thursday night I was channel surfing and came across the meeting of the Ways & Means Committee on C-Span 3. I was just going to watch long enough to see what subject it was when I heard them talking about the healthcare bill. I immediately sat down and started to watch more intently.
It didn't take long to realize that there were very different intentions at the meeting. The Democrats wanted to pass legislation that would work for the majority of Americans, even if it didn't quite work as well for the HMO, insurance companies.
Republicans hoped to amend the legislation so that insurance companies would make even more money and there would be less, or no healthcare reform.
