Now republitards have the nerve to bash a healthcare bill that costs $940 billion over 10 years?? It will directly improve the availability of healthcare to American citizens.

What amazes me is that this actually has to be explained to the right wing simpletons. Waging war, getting our troops killed for nothing and racking up hundreds of billions of dollars in debt is no big deal. If the dems try to get something as basic as healthcare for most American citizens then these uninformed teabaggers feel they need to go protest???

If money is all that matters then where was the outrage in 2003?
