Hannity, Bachmann echo Limbaugh, advance falsehood that private insurance would be illegal under House bill

I hope we never get to that point. What really needs to happen, is a fundamental change in the way we look at politics. This winner and loser stuff is just ridiculous. I can't believe the Democrats and the Republicans can't work out a bill that provides for reduced costs in healthcare and is supported by a super majority of the members of Congress. Hell, if the Court could get a unanimous decision in Brown, why can't 70% come together and put a bill forward.

As for Congress, Congress is not a bastion of intellect. However, I would at least expect a Congresswoman to do her job and read the bill. If I went to a job, didn't do any work, and then told everyone that my employer was socialist and wanted to ruin people's lives; I don't think I would be working there for long. As for Bachmann's incompetence, I wish there was a way for Congress to cut her pay for failing to do her job, which involves reading the bill so that she can make educated decisions on the issue.
