    Despite his illness, Senator Kennedy made a forceful appearance at the Democratic convention in Denver, exhorting his party to victory and declaring that the fight for universal health insurance had been "the cause of my life.’’

    He pursued that cause vigorously, and even as his health declined, he spent days reaching out to colleagues to win support for a sweeping overhaul; when members of Obama’s administration questioned the president’s decision to spend so much political capital on the seemingly intractable health care issue, Obama reportedly replied, "I promised Teddy.’’

    As Kos said. "I think I got a little dust in my eye."

    Not a Hillary fan, but this also made me a little misty.

    "Each House may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two thirds, expel a member."
    Article I, Section 5 of the Constitution. The House rules change every new Congress. The Constitution left the running of the House up to the House, and every bill gets its own set if rules.
    Obviously, the size and importance of this bill makes the process used particularly unique, but there is nothing wrong or unconstitutional with what the Democrats did.

    HR3200 is the bill that did NOT pass the house last year.

    HR3590 is the one that was signed.
    There are many places to find the text, your website is one good place.

    http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h3590/show

    HR4872 is the Reconciliation bill that the Senate is debating

    I have pet insurance. It's only $29 a month, but has saved us in excess of $1600 in 5 years in vet bills.

    Are you subtracting the 1740 you paid in premiums?

    My pet is a tub of lard and I can't afford to pay for the vet bill for it's preexisting conditions. Please double your premiums to $58 so that we all can get pet insurance. k thanks, bye.

    Not how the health care reform bill works. Please study the issue more before commenting further.

    Thank you.

    You are a healthy young adult. eat properly, and excercise to take care of yourself. Let's see how free health care affects you.

    from investor.com.

    2. You are young and healthy and want to pay for insurance that reflects that status? Tough. You’ll have to pay for premiums that cover not only you, but also the guy who smokes three packs a day, drink a gallon of whiskey and eats chicken fat off the floor. That’s because insurance companies will no longer be able to underwrite on the basis of a person’s health status. (Section 2701).
