ok, that is a public promise.

during the democratically controlled 2006 congress, all republican bills, even those to stop the housing crisis were either blocked or altered in such a way to give money to community activist groups, like acorn, for example Bush's project hope which supplied 300 billion in refinacing to people with underwater mortgages and 2-4 billion to acorn like groups. the press didnt advertise it, and congress your congress refused to fund it until the housing crisis destroyed walls treet in 2008. it was funded in late november october.

back to health.

there was a strong push to cover the uninsured in 2007 2008. many bills were promoted, but the only thing that made it through was the Schip bill, which when passed stole money from the medicare advantage program's reimbursement rates, denying health care to the elderly. good move democrats!

you can find a description of many of the other bills proposed and here is the specific bill I talked about introduced by republicans

Alex do you have any reason at all to understand why medical insurance is only deductible if it is above 7.5 percent of AGI?

why wont the democrats at least pass a bill to allow health insurance to be deductible? wouldnt that help people at no administrative cost to the govt?

notice the 4 member all democrat group controlling the bill never let it get to the floor
