LAS VEGAS (AP) - Reps. Shelley Berkley and Dina Titus have announced they'll vote for a health care bill Sunday, giving President Barack Obama more support for his top priority.

The Nevada Democrats voted for an initial health care bill in November, but expressed concerns about later changes. They held out their commitments until the final bill was published and the Congressional Budget Office said it would reduce the federal deficit by $138 billion over 10 years.

Berkley says the current health care system is unsustainable and she thinks the bill will control medical costs in the long run.

Titus stressed consumer-friendly provisions of the bill, saying it'll improve coverage for Nevadans who already have health insurance and extend coverage to thousands more uninsured in the state.

Though Shelley Berkley and Dina Titus voted for the bill, I would say that they are putting America on a long term trouble as president Obama. Though it can benefit people who have pre existing illnesses like <a href="http://isbronchitiscontagious.net/">bronchitis</a>, it is going to cost too much for the government since it promises to support the insurances of those who make an annual earnings less than $29K

Polls showed very clearly that Nevadans did not support this bill, but these two voted for it anyway. Why do we still call these peoples representatives of the people when they only represent themselves and their friends in congress. Get ready for the next big smokescreen when they try to divert attention by attacking easy targets like banks and the rich. They won't be doing it for the moral reasons they will claim, they will be doing it to try and score popularity points and hope everyone forgets what they have done. Don't forget!

A President who may be a US citizen has gotten even good politicians under his spell. They all should find new jobs before there is nothing left of the United States of America. We need to show the "political elite" through the back door without their hats.
