C-span 1---Repugs want to put Health Savings accounts on the floor
Of the house next week. Lots of talk of Americans NOT having health
Insurance and they are thinking of the American people/

Boehner, Drierer et all present.

This is a Repeat news conf. From the afternoon Rupugs complaining about being shut out.

3. Umm I thought Democrats were setting the agenda?
I want a million bucks but yet here I am without it.
I don't think Americans want their stinking spending accounts--they want insurance.
I do wish the whining would stop...

5. Doesn't Pelosi decide what comes to
the house floor for debate and vote? Or is that Steny Hoyer?

8. But you forget...
The pathetic minimum wage might be raised to a very, very slightly less pathetic minimum wage. With an extra fifty cents or so, those accounts can pile up to TENS of dollars in just a few years. Yeah, I'm like you, with people having to max out their credit cards just to keep up with living day to day, how are they going to have anything to save? The Republics are such clueless bastards.

7. That's where they belong: on the floor, ground underfoot.
I'm getting out of my health so-called savings account as soon as I can.
