#1 If "death panels" were non-existent in the House Bill, why did the Senate version drop the applicable provisions?

Oh, that would be 'three' questions.

#2 > Obama, Pelosi and Reid have to know that this would give businesses a huge incentive to drop coverage, thus affecting millions of Americans who are happy with their existing plans.

To be honest, employee oriented treatment(i.e. insurance as a deductible benefit) caused structural problems. You'd be better off paying for it yourself, it is after all YOUR health, not your companies.

#4 Any health care bill that might go into effect will have a great number of 'gotchas,' 'didn't expect thats' & 'WTFs' built into it by the amendment & House/Senate bill reconciliation process.

#5 Judging from the pi$$ed responses of the town hall meeting attendees; no one but Pelosi, Reid, and Obama believed that ObamaCare would save money or that it would not affect your current healthcare. So much for the lying and trying to sell this stinking albatross to the masses. ObamaCare is about consolidating power within the federal government and buying votes. There are no altruistic motives here. If ObamaCare is so great how about Congress and the President jump on board first and lead by example. Otherwise screw off.
