Ablogination

The nerve of this Blue Dogshit half wit apparently knows no bounds. But not to worry, nobody on either side of Health Care reform has any interest in his pointless, self-indulgent bill.

Sen. Max Baucus - D Mont.
Just another in a long line of Democratic disgraces. The Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee has for some reason convinced himself that he’s more important than the President of the United States.
This Baucus, in his arrogance, has presumed to draft his own Health Care Legislation.

It reads like HR 3200 but with a few differences.

The Baucus bill mandates that all Americans buy insurance. But offers nothing to those who cannot afford it except that they pay the penalties for not being able to afford it.
It supports “co-ops” which as history teaches us, grow up to become FOR PROFIT entities like the ones we’re trying to save the country from now.

In other words, Max Baucus wrote legislation that changes nothing.

LOL, What an asshole.

Max Baucus is a tool who is bought and paid for by the insurance industry. Hence the anti-American, pro-Corporate legislation….

Securities & Investment $839,650
Lawyers/Law Firms $684,354
Insurance $558,075
Pharmaceuticals/Health Products $507,313
Health Professionals $504,641

Fuck you, Max. That’s about all that need be said.

Baucus Fact Box:

Connections to Jack Abramoff

In December 2005, following the public corruption probe of con man Jack Abramoff, Baucus returned $18,892 in contributions that his office found to be connected to Abramoff. Included in the returned donations was an estimated $1,892 that was never reported for the use of Abramoff’s skybox at a professional sports stadium and concert venue in downtown Washington in 2001.[13]

Economic issues

Baucus has a 74% pro-business voting record as rated by the United States Chamber of Commerce. He twice voted to make filing bankruptcy more difficult for debtors,[14] once in July, 2001 to restrict rules on personal bankruptcy, and a second time in March 2005 to include means-testing & restrictions for bankruptcy filers.

He has frequently visited places of employment within the state and has personally participated in activities that he calls “Work Days.” He has also hosted economic development conferences.

Trade

In March 2005, Baucus voted against repealing tax subsidies that benefit companies that move US jobs offshore. On January 4, 2007, he wrote an editorial in the Wall Street Journal calling on Democrats to renew Bush’s fast-track authority for international trade deals.[15] In response, the Montana State Senate passed a 44-6 resolution “that the U.S. Congress be urged to create a replacement for the outdated fast track system” [16]
