New Health Care Bill- Democrats

Today, the House Democrats have unveiled a $894 billion new health care bill. The bill is 2,000 pages, containing three different versions of the bill that has been passed by three House committees. The bill can be paid for over a course of 10 years and would not increase the federal deficit according to Speaker Pelosi. This bill will extend health care coverage to over 36 million people, giving 96% of Americans health care coverage. The bill does contain the health insurance option. According to CNN, "Republicans tore into the bill, characterizing it as a series of tax increases and new regulations that would destroy jobs while doing little to stop spiraling health care costs." One House member said the following about the bill,"This really is a government takeover of health care in America," Rep. Mike Pence, D-Indiana, said. "It appears for all of the world like a massive government-run insurance plan paid for with a freight train of mandates and taxes and bureaucracy." At the same time the Senate is looking at legislation that is completely different from this bill. But any bill that passes in the House will somehow have to br merged with the Sentate legislation ideas. So, that it can be sent to President Obama for his signature making it into law. So, it seems that there is some light emerging at the end of the tunnel of the Health care plan. If only the democrats and republicans can just find a way to agree. So with this announcement lets look at how the media is spinning this. CNN Gave the facts of the story and clearly stated that it is a democratic bill and will need to be approved by republicans. But, I just looked at the same story on Fox news. They also state the facts, but also they discusss how this bill will not pass by any republicans because it was done"behind closed doors" as they say. Why does Fox News slant to make it seem like the democrats are the bad guys??? And why does CNN slant to make it look like the democrats are the only ones with good ideas and the only ones trying to make things work??? Why can't we just get the objective story about the bill, what it contains and how much it costs instead of all this bias. Its a shame to have all this bias. Really, what are you supposed to believe, juat whatever you want to??? Are we all that selfish nowadays? Have we always been??? WHATS THE DEAL???

Here are two clips about the bill:
