The Washington Post 10.30 Democrats Pull Together on healthcare, S. Murray, L. Montgomery

TWO SIMPLE QUESTIONS

I have two questions for House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She can answer them publicly or through her Washington D.C. office.

(1)The figure being spread around pegs the cost of this program at 1.055 trillion (CBO estimate)not 894 billion, which figure is true?

(2)The end of life counseling provisions still remain in the house bill, (those so called "death panels"),is this true?

If your answer to the above questions is affirmative, Madame Speaker, your bill must be rejected or undergo major modifications since an affirmative answer to the two above questions indicate to me that you have little if any regard for my family many of whom are seniors and their long term health issues and not much if any concern for my grandchildren who will be in bondage to debt for decades if this program is approved.

That being the case, in 2010, you will need to be replaced as Speaker by a newly elected Congress.

However,if on the otherhand those observations are untrue then I need to confirm the real truth for many friends and relatives.
