OT: Senate passes Health Bill
The health bill is expected to expand health insurance coverage to millions of uninsured and prevent insurance companies from denying coverage to individuals with pre-existing conditions.
The bill is still tentative as the House must reconcile the senate's version.

I heard H. C. Bill's 40-time was horribly exaggerated. H.C. can clearly break a tackle or two, but 'plodding' is the word we need here. That toughness is nice but it won't translate to B10 success.

I heard it had offers only from MAC and CUSA schools. Not impressive. I think it needs to work on its pad level.

I think he's too big and slow. Maybe he would have worked out in Michigan in the 60s or 70s, but not in today's game.

As one of the millions of uninsured and someone who agrees that health care needs an overall I hope this crap bill never makes it through. When was the last time the government ran anything successfully? Why would anyone think they can run health care successfully?

I prefer to think of it as well-hidden football conversation. "Senate" refers to Forcier. "Passes" refers to...uh...passes. And "Health bill" refers to the football. So really, what he's saying is that Forcier passed the football. Right? Right.

The OP's comment isn't politically charged, rather just announcing the news, but I do agree this is somewhat a gray area and will probably lead to political arguments.
Ergo, I'm going to freeze this thread. Nothing against the OP or most of what has been posted here, just a preemptive.

That is a fantastic film.

New health bill: All citizens are required to work out with Barwis once a week for two months. If they die, that's less health care money we need to spend keeping them healthy. If they don't, we can just about guarantee they won't be obese.
It saves us millions and millions of dollars. Only problem I see is that 80-90% won't make it through and the bodies will need to be disposed of. Barwis might have to invest in a few more wolves.
