I can sort of understand the Liberal bias due to the Liberal Left leadership and the fact that many in Congress have NO experience in anything except being a Bureaucrat. Democrats believe in the Public Option, which is Socialism, if the insurance companies don’t meet the challenge of affordability or they just believe in the Public Option as the affordable option. But now that the Democrats have their Bills, why is the news media not asking one simple question. What is affordable insurance and for what coverage??? What are the premiums, deductibles, and co pays? Can Democrats answer that? OK, the Democrats have all Bills out of Committee.

What is affordable insurance and for what coverage???

What are the premiums, deductibles, and co pays?

Can Democrats answer that?

One thing is for shore middle America once again will have to foot most of the costs.Some where along the way, Congress missed the first object right front the start. That was to provide health care for those without (Insurance plan)health care.As a retired Project Manager for the FAA. Projects were constructed in stages. To accomplish a total Health Plan all at once will leave holes in the plan. Again lets stay focused and help those with out an insurance plan first.
