This is false...the expansion of medicare in 2003 for 1.2 trillion dollars qualifies as government-controlled/mandated/funded health care and it was passed by republicans.

Not really, and it isn't a surprise. I had a feeling the Senate, deadlocked like it is, would water the bill so down that no one is happy.

Some of parts could be good, but overall, no.

Wow...and this was for seniors alone! Imagine the costs involved when EVERYONE is on government controlled/mandated/funded healthcare.

Positives? none.
