How much money is being passed in brown envelopes to the Democrats who are voting "No" to

[AlinPA]

HCR? The RNC amd insurance companies undoubtedly has a lot of money going to people like Altmire. Lots of kids' college educations will be paid for with the $$ and vacation homes and nice cars will be bought shortly.

1. Yep.

It really ticks me off knowing that congress, both sides, are being bought and paid for by the corporations and the people can simply go to hell! We need to stop the money from coming into the pockets of congress, make all elections for national office publicly funded, and then put term limits on congress! We just have to find enough "honest" people in congress to vote for it, and that may be the biggest problem!

2. It is interesting to watch the wealth grow for members of congress. I looked at Rick

Santorum's (ex-Senator, PA) growth in wealth, he went from about 250K net worth to 1.8M in three years. Lots of "cash flow" there.

3. Not nearly as much to the ones voting "yes".

4. Why would insurance companies be passing money to buy no voteswh

when this bill will benefit them at the expense of the people they price out of the market?

That makes no sense.
