Through. And im still trying to figure out how these savings are going to be passed on to consumers and of course to taxpayers who put up so much of the money that funds the Medicare Program. So mr.

The bill as amended is passed. Reporter the senate voted 898 to avoid tax hikes for 99 of all americans. This shouldnt be the model for how we do things around here.

I might paraphrase the president , the 1980s called and they want their Health Policy back. Now, to be fair, snail mail is also an option and it looks like the president s people will try to have the issue fixed soon despite passing the law more than three years ago. But then again this is the same president who told us that obamacare is working the way its supposed to, president obama said, and that those who already have Health
