POLITICS - More From "Compassionate" Conservatism

Here's an example of "Compassionate" Conservatism at work.

A first-time vote is expected on the Bush-backed legislation in the Senate health committee today. The bill is a dramatic departure from earlier versions of the proposal because it would allow any health insurer or HMO to ignore state Patient Bill of Rights laws including pending state protections that cap the amount of money that patients must pay out of pocket for care.


The Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights

Now that is real compassion for patients - NOT! The only compassion passion is to protect big-contributor HMOs.
