2. A voice of reason, coming from the rethugs? Color me shocked. nt

[EC]

3. He's a doctor who realizes he'll have

more patients and he's also a healthcare provider industry owner with his clinics.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

4. Well, if the Health Care Law is good/better for business than the (former) status quo was

then I guess at least he doesn't view it as the "job-killing" socialist monstrosity that Boehner, et. al are claiming it is, right?

[EC]

5. yep.. n/t

[golfguru]

6. You hit the nail on its head

The guaranteed 30 million more customers with newly acquired health
insurance are a big bonanza for the healthcare industry. Those who can
not afford to buy the mandated insurance will be subsidized by tax payers.

No wonder DOCTOR Frist is all for it.

[wisteria]

7. He can speak the truth now that he isn't part of the Republican system any longer.

And, he knows this bill contains many Republican ideas.

8. Huh?

" has many strong elements," Frist added later. "And those elements, whatever happens, need to be preserved, need to be cuddled, need to be snuggled, need to be promoted and need to be implemented. But how do you do it? How do you do a lot of what is in this law?"

Cuddled? Snuggled? :wtf:

Weirdness... but, I digress... whodathunkit?

[old mark]

9. If they did that, they'd have nothing to do...they can't AGREE with Obama on anything!...nt
