		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s the link to the full text of the reconciliation bill, hot off the presses. Basically, the House will vote on these bundled fixes to the Senate bill, deeming that the Senate bill itself has already passed. Too bad employment raises don&#8217;t work the same way, eh?

First an Arizona lawmaker proposed to yank Medicaid and other social services from poverty-stricken folks caught enjoying an adult beverage, buying any junk food, or driving a car or watching a TV costing more than a bargain-basement amount. Now there&#8217;s a new proposal to yank free Medicaid benefits from the poorest Arizonans, period. Arizona has more [...]]]></description>

Obama: &#8220;Would you be satisfied if every member of Congress just had catastrophic care&#8211;you think we&#8217;d be better health care purchasers? I mean, is that a change you think we should make?&#8221;
