		<description>Rosie, do you think anyone can honestly &quot;get full medical coverage at the lowest price&quot; at that website? What about people with pre-existing conditions who can&#039;t get insured at all, or those with pre-existing conditions or even the &quot;threat&quot; of a condition whose rates will still be unaffordable to most? I am glad you lice in a nice little world where everyone is health and can qualify for AND afford to pay for their full, medical coverage at the lowest price.</description>

		<description>&quot;This same friend argues that the pork doled out to Nebraska — to help secure Sen. Ben Nelson’s yes-vote on his chamber’s health care reform bill — was unprecedented. I believe it was very precedented, including among Republicans, but have not yet had time to research relevant examples, i.e., cases where a 60th (or 58-60th) vote was secured after substantial pork was promised to one or more hesitant Republican Senators.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yeah the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicare_Prescription_Drug,_Improvement,_and_Modernization_Act&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Medicare Drug bill&lt;/a&gt;. Of course several people changed amid accusations they were threatened if they didn&#039;t.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Then-Representative Nick Smith (R-MI) claimed he was offered campaign funds for his son, who was running to replace him, in return for a change in his vote from &quot;nay&quot; to &quot;yea.&quot; After controversy ensued, Smith clarified no explicit offer of campaign funds was made, but that that he was offered &quot;substantial and aggressive campaign support&quot; which he had assumed included financial support.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

<p>Yeah the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicare_Prescription_Drug,_Improvement,_and_Modernization_Act" rel="nofollow">Medicare Drug bill</a>. Of course several people changed amid accusations they were threatened if they didn&#39;t.</p>
