    I'm being seroius. Sorry, I don't follow politics as much as I should for being a 23 year-old with some serious student loans sitting ahead of me.

    When I tune in, it seems they need to get this bill passed immediately, and that people are shifting from previous positions to get it done. Can anyone give me the basics on why?

    I don't think it's a rush. They've been discussing, revising and debating for over a year and now it's finally time to vote so it's getting a lot of coverage.

    They do recess at the end of the week, though, so I think that's why they scheduled the vote this week.

    msnbc is reporting the dems have 214 and they were trying to get 2 more votes including stupak...

    now as i type this they are saying stupak agrees so that makes 215...stupak will vote for it if obama signs an executive order saying no federal funding for abortion...

    From a personal is this bill going to help or potentially hurt people on this board?

    Hi, I'm italian. In Italy we have so many problems but one thing is pretty good...the health care is free. If you need an urgent surgical intervention, that's totally for free (if it's not urgent you pay something, but very little). I don't understand how's possible that part of american people is against a free health care. Why? why do you still have the nightmare of the socialism every time someone want to do something to help the people, all the people...equality is a wonderful thing. This is not communism this is good sense. The health care is a fundamental right, everyone, rich or poor, have the right to be cured! Please explain me the american mentality...I don't understand.

    p.s. sorry for my english.

    For one I doubt it's free, you pay through your taxes just as we do. Also I don't see this bill as universal health care, or UHC as you and I have.

    Of course we pay taxes (many taxes) but I prefer pay taxes but when I or another one needs to be cured that's is free, no one dies because have no money!
    I think that USA won't ever have a universal health care, but i don't understand why. That's all.
