I just heard something about student loans being tied into this bill. Will there be all kinds of things involved with this bill that a lot of us don't know about?

In fact it will be a surprise to many members of Congress what is actually in the Bill.
*and in deference to TTH, I have no problem with a Congressman not actually reading the whole thing as long as he gets good staff work and understands what is in the bill. I'll bet my Social Security check most of them have no clue...

Yes, in the reconciliation bill they added in putting student loans all or mostly back via the government and not private lenders. It affects the budget so they can do it without a filibuster threat in the Senate when they take it up this week.

And if they could lard it up with a few hundred billion additonal dollars of pork, like they did with the "stimulus" bill, they certainly would!

Maybe this has been mentioned because I haven't read all the post in this thread but if someone knows or have an idea, please chime in...
Not that I am... but if were happy with the health care coverage we have now, will we be forced into the gov't plan. I'm hearing, if we already have a plan you like, eventually, your going to be forced out of it and into the one now run by the govt.
Someone, please educate the poor fellow? or a simple thought. Thanks.

TH, I've heard nothing direct on that and I've been scouring the web for news on this. There is an excise tax of 40% on employer-sponsored plans with coverage exceeding $10,200 (individuals) or $27,500 (families) beginning in 2018.
I expect that to change (read: expand) much earlier than planned, as there is no way the CBO's cost estimates are within shouting distance of reality.

Emily,
Thanks for your thoughts sweetheart. I'll be doing a lot of research. I pay enough for insurance... and to pay more for coverage... and add on more taxes... I might have to leave the hobby.
