Nancy Pelosi drops a new 1,990 page version of Obamacare on the House and Democrats are demanding a vote next week. Not only is the bill a giant disaster for the economy and for American medicine, it is outrageous to demand it be moved along as though it was a finished piece of legislation. Already secret surprises are showing up. Example: Far from tort reform of any kind, the bill actually proposes a gift to the plaintiffs; bar --a penalty on states that have or retain damages caps in medical malpractice lawsuits.
Call your Congressman at 202-224-3121 and demand this be stopped. here's a list of Blue Dog Democrats by state. Start calling.
