It’s apropos that I’m presenting this information to you today, whereas the House Of Representatives in Washington are trying to force through a vote for the Health Care Bill HR3962 before they go home for this Fridays long weekend in honor of Veterans Day.

If the bill is voted on and passed in the House it’s now the Senates headache. Just one more thing before I get today’s blog here’s a summary of the Bill HR3962 Socialized Medicine and what it has written in it:

    Penalizes states like California for having medical malpractice reform laws on the books
  • States may have to be left paying for unfunded mandates as more Americans go on the government plan by expanding Medicaid eligibility (a federal-state partnership)
