Deaf and Dumb to We the People

Kelly Ayotte's idea for health care "reform" is copied wholesale from DC GOP talking points, i.e., to make the murder-by-spreadsheeters more efficient (or something) by stripping out statewide consumer protections, such as, in NH, requiring coverage for OBY/GYN visits and mammographies.

Meanwhile out-of-touch elites like Evan Bayh and Ben Nelson and Mary Landrieu, who enjoy Rolls Royce health care at your expense, have forced a senate health care bill to contain an immediate "opt-out" clause for a public plan that won't go into effect until 2014.  The CBO estimates, perhaps conservatively, that fully one third of the nation will be opted out by their statewide "public servants".  Thus, fewer will be able buy into the plan, and their premiums might even be higher than the murder-by-spreadsheeters. And even that weak tea still might not get a cloture vote.

How many American children will lose their hearing despite an available medical fix, and after the biggest, most important health insurance reform gets signed into law?

Don't ask the TeeVee cable news networks.  They're busy with the Governor of Facebook.
