South Carolina, Georgia senators react angrily to the bill following question health approaches

U.S. Senators of Georgia and Carolina South continue to express concern and outrage at a Democratic bill of health that have received a second round of Senate approval. The 60-39 vote Tuesday to silence the debate on the package introduced by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made the legislation a step closer to a vote before Christmas.

Some senators, including South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham, said the 10-years, about U.S. $ 1,000,000,000,000 plan is unconstitutional, ineffective and financially burdensome to taxpayers. The Tuesday edition of NBC's Today Show, Mr. Graham said that some measures used to obtain the approval of the bill was "suspicious."

Mr. Graham and Senator Jim DeMint, RS.C., called Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster South review processes of the special funds negotiated with Senator Democrat Ben Nelson of Nebraska, according to a press office of Mr. McMaster. Both senators believe that funding seems to give Nebraska a permanent exemption from payment of Medicaid costs that other states should pay. McMaster said he would meet with other attorneys general to determine the legality of the measure.

Senator Saxby Chambliss Georgia Republican., expressed concern about the tax increase, said the legislation would require. He told the Senate that would increase federal package taxes of nearly $ 26 billion. However, he added, 23 million Americans still go without health insurance.

"Not that one day we learned people across the aisle to ensure that every American covered, "he said.

Beyond the tax increases, forcing Americans to buy a product, including health insurance, is unconstitutional, Mr. DeMint said Tuesday through his press secretary Ryan Dawkins.

"This is not like car insurance. You can not choose to drive, but the Americans have no choice but to buy insurance approved by the government," he said. "This is nothing more than a rescue plan and care for insurance companies. … This is not freedom, is the tyranny of good intentions by the Washington elites think can plan our lives better than us. "

Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., One said he was disappointed with the results and measures that Democrats have taken in passing the law. The greatest injustice in the Medicare law system, which lost $ 470 000 000 000 if health Project Services Reform Act becomes law, Mr. Isakson said. The growing number of baby boomers who need health insurance will pay for their own medical expenses.

"It more than a split bill on abortion, public choice, and Medicare, he said. 'I know there are many steps we can do that would raise taxes, reduce the number of uninsured who will not cut Medicare. I'm disappointed, but I think we have established a good fight. "
