Franken, D-Minn spoke clearly in agreement with the legislation, which the senate is expected to pass. Infact, clarity was the theme of the speech by the junior senator from Minnesota as he accused the bill’s critics of deliberately confusing Americans about what is in it. Americans wouldn’t be so confused if everyone was being honest and fortnight about what is in the bill. Republicans have said the bill would add $2.5 trillion to the nation’s debt, but Franken noted that the nonpartisan congressional budget office was determined it would reduce the federal deficit by $132 billion over 10 years. Franken helped deliver the final arguments for Democrats in a debate that stretched through the weekend, culminating in a procedural vote. The legislation would cost $871 billion over 10 years and provide insurance for 31 million Americans who don’t have it. It would require everyone to buy insurance and would create individual state health insurance marketplaces for people not offered insurance through an employer. Lower income people would get government subsidies to help them afford insurance through the marketplace. Republicans say the bill in addition to be costly would kill jobs and is loaded with favors aimed at winning support from Democrats.
