Baucus Releases Health Care Bill

"Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus formally unveiled a 10-year, $856 billion bill"

"The bill by Baucus, Democratic chairman of the Senate panel, would make major changes to the nation's $2.5 trillion health care system, including requiring most people to purchase insurance coverage or pay a fine and prohibiting insurance companies from charging more to people with more serious health problems."

"Medicaid would be expanded, and limits would be placed on patients' yearly health care costs."

"While only legal residents would be able to buy coverage through the exchanges, illegal immigrant parents would be able to get insurance for their U.S. born children."

"In the end, Democrats believe Snowe may be the only Republican to support the bill, though she wasn't ready to commit her support. "

Sounds like bad news to me.  I think an effort needs to be made to flood Snowe with phone calls, emails, and letters.  Tell her to vote NO.
