2. Could someone explain the "Insurance to help with long-term care"
I know that in one of the bills, they cut a shit load out of home health care. What is with this "voluntary program".

3. Looks like a pretty friggin' good deal to me
a helluva lot more than I ever expected. It's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination and will need much work over the coming years. But it's a great start.

9. Been there done that
Got ignored, but a quick comparison really does show the Senate bill is a piece of crap compared to the House bill.
