Healthcare Passes

Didn't John Murtha pass away in Feb. of this year? If so, why does his name appear in the "AYES" section of the vote results at the following website?
http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2009/roll887.xml

That was not the vote taken last night. As it says right there on the page: "H R 3962 RECORDED VOTE 7-Nov-2009 11:16 PM"

I'm thinking you'll probably know when you get a bill for $300 for a single aspirin.

Really sending more PAYING customers to the Doctors office isnt going to hurt anyone.
From 2001-2008 I gave $0 to the Insurance Companies and Doctors office.
Since then I have gotten Wisdom Teeth Pulled, A Crown, 3 Cavities *I like sugar*, my Wife's been to the Cardiologist (That was a big bill) and throw in birth control, allergy medicine, pills for when I threw out my back and I've given them thousands of dollars in business.
Now expand that by Millions of uninsured and under insured.

I guess you meant that you paid for your own. You're a good person. That's just our point. Now watch what happens, and it won't be direct-pay.

ETA: Check Denninger's post this morning (I generally like how he supports his conclusions, very logical). In it, he points out:
# Health insurance is mandatory, with fines for non-purchase amounting to 2% of your AGI.
# You cannot buy or maintain a catastrophic policy any more.

Good question. They actually did not need Murtha's absentee vote, as he was number 219 and the Dems only needed 216 ayes. Insofar as a dead man voting goes, that's the kind of change you can believe in now, even if you can't believe it.

Change? Dead voters have a long tradition in Chicago.

I wonder how long these lawsuits will take to reach SCOTUS?

I'm guessing about four years. That would be AFTER we've paid extra taxes and fees and BEFORE any of the benefits take effect, right?

So, if the pro life democrats can be strong armed or bought that easy, what might happen with the pro 2nd democrats in the near future?

Last night's vote proves there is no such thing as a pro-life Democrat.
